(Nov 7) I do a lot of waiting for other people. Sometimes the animals get close to me.
Do you see the animal?
Blurry
Still
There were a number of them
All on the move
preed says Romeo looks like a scary dog
What do you think?
(Oct 20) If you knew me, you’d think I’d have been here already, or that I’d have gone with Viza. You’d be wrong on both counts. On this particular Sunday afternoon though, I went to the NYC Transit Museum with Preed.
It starts with the story of digging
Preed tried his hand at manual labor
Today’s Game: “Where’s Tesla?”
Whatever it is, do it.
I’ve never actually seen one of these for reals before
Stupid people? Ironic? Perhaps just well-trained.
Trolleys!
More irony. But so very MTA.
Wrigley’s spells an ad that wouldn’t pass standards and practices today
It’s amazing how long they stuck with wicker seats
Another era, for sure
Paul seemed deeply interested in these
(Oct 20) In the space between museums and days.
Something kinda Shining about this
Hello again, old friend.
(Oct 19) Long post. It’s December, and pseudoreal is stuck in a museum in Astoria in October.
This reminds me of when I was an editor of my college newspaper
We keep Yoda in a glass prison for our amusement
This would all be computer generated today
Don’t get me wrong, I like our new digital stuff
But there’s something both elegant and real about these machines
A classic
This stuff must have cost a fortune when it was new
I don’t think I’ve shared this with any of my friends, let alone anyone else
But I used to shoot movies as a child, and had a lot of photography equipment.
This thing turned black and white TV into color TV somehow
RTFM
The non-silent movie projector
This, boys and girls, ….
Is a Sony console TV with Betamax VCR.
(Oct 19) It would have been easier to enjoy this place if I hadn’t felt mislead about the Breaking Bad “exhibit” (more like a narrow closet, literally), which quite possibly didn’t contain anything actually used on Breaking Bad. Most of the items I saw were obviously “re-creations” of items used on the show, of generally poor quality. I wonder if that’s why no photos were allowed of this material. There’s plenty of blame to go around. AMC/Sony for the fraud, and the museum for being a party to it. It left a very bad taste in my mouth, which is a shame, since in retrospect, the rest of the museum wasn’t bad. The security staff were unfriendly and in the way, but the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Due to the crappy faux Breaking Bad thing and the obtrusive security staff, I give the Museum of the Moving Image a “Meh” rating, which seems like a shame.
This,is called Feral Fount

Movies existed before sound.
But if moving film strips rapidly was the innovation that created ‘films’ out of photography
Sound was the innovation that created ‘movies’ out of ‘films’.
Yes kids, this is where the skeumorphic iOS icon came from.
