Andrew Bird at Beacon Theatre

Thanks Pill for letting me use your camera since I forgot to bring mine… phew! My picture a day streak was almost finished! Get to know the Beacon Theatre better by going here. That bright spot of white light to the right is Andrew Bird, not God, despite how he creates music. The sea of people engulfed by that white light, seated of course!

Shiny Balls

Shatter proof Christmas ornaments at Kmart, for something like $2.99 a dozen. Pretty round light reflectors to stick on your dead tree and keep your cats entertained for hours.

Midday at FIT

I photographed this in the connecting hallway between the A and B buildings at the Fashion Institute of Technology. It kind of reminded me of a Philip-Lorca diCorcia image where he shot random people walking down the city street by using a secret flash that went off without the subject knowing. He did the same thing the city does when they photograph people who run a red light on some city streets, except they get their little picture and $120 traffic ticket a few weeks later.

B Train, Bryant Park

Funny enough just seeing the phone like this, but funnier when I saw the lone high school freshmen do this as he walked by the phone. I just had to take a photo of this act of subversive behavior, you go high school freshman boy!  Go tell those public phone using small time pimps that can’t afford a cell phone to take it up the ass!

Time to put up the decorations

Remember when everyone used to decorate their college dorm rooms with Christmas lights and it was cool and hippie? Today I put up the Christmas lights on our sixth floor balcony, I mean our fire escape overlooking Chinatown. I’m not a hardcore or for that matter even vaguely enthusiastic patron about holiday decorating (although I have a secret stash of Christmas ornaments… Christmas ornaments are the neatest doodads ever after wind-up toys) but putting up lights on the balcony is preeetty! It’s actually not really for the holiday season that I put the lights up, since I’m going to keep the lights up all year round. I just put them up today because I thought it would be a nice picture to take with the slate sky in the background.
