Better Than Real Because It's Not.

Closing out September…

?
Lord Landon’s people put a strange crown atop his head

one serious chainsaw
Then it was out to Port Jefferson

hydraulics!
The control panel of a tardis?

how trees become boards
No, it’s Pete’s sawmill

sawmill
The hydraulics push and prod the log into place

squared
Unrounded

milled wood
Sliced into boards

milling wood
And sliced some more

there was no money in it, probably
Then I went home and past crazy sign person, who’s at it again.

(September 11) For this year’s Tribute In Light, I decided to go to the Brooklyn Bridge. I probably should have gone further north, but Viza met me there and we ended up having one of those only in New York encounters with two girls that borrowed my tripod. Without further comment…

September has been something to endure. And that’s being cheerful about it.

president st.
When the gate’s open, I step in for a few shots.

mural
I keep meaning to just ask someone if I can come in.

union st.
I’d like to get shots of all of it before I move.

union st.
Crazy Sign Person went into re-runs.

the marigolds of memory
I remember when summer meant marigolds

and so is the bank
Speaking of memory, the night depository is a relic now, right?

apple on the sidewalk
Returning from the bank in the early morning, I saw an apple on the sidewalk.

apples on the tree
I looked up.

water supply sampling station
Then I went out to Port Jefferson. I always walk to the LIRR now as well. My legs are cheaper and still more reliable than the subway.

raindrops on the train window
It rained. It was apropos.

train window on the raindrops
Wet. Scattered. Metaphor.

waterspout
Down the drain and on the street.

hiring soon!
Hot Pink. Not the ideal way to keep Victoria’s Secret.

big ass tires
Back out to Port Jefferson

berries
Unfortunate train connections at Stony Brook.

the pipe
A now rare visit to Bushwick

the motto of the mta elevators and escalators
I never take the subway for grocery shopping anymore, it’s just not worth spending $4.50 or even $2.25

heh
You talkin to me, crazy sign person?

apple pie, cinnamon roll, hot chocolate and cinnamon
Just looking at this allegedly sent Tony into sugar shock.

president st. art
Here’s some of what was going on this night.

or union st. art take your pick
There’s a lot more I haven’t really gotten a good look at yet, even though I pass it all the time.

(August 15) I met Tony at the Union Square farmer’s market to look at tomatoes. The mission was specifically about tomatoes, but also any other sort of business built around nature’s bounties.

tomatoes
There were a fair amount of tomatoes here, but none you’d call a bargain.

coffee bar
Other ideas came to mind as well.

bugs don't dig the cedar
I’d been thinking about this myself.

graffitti
This seemed out of place somehow.

shiny building

gotta be a gehry (it is)
On sight, I thought “That’s gotta be a Gehry”, and indeed it is. I was unaware of either the building or who IAC was. Sorry Barry.

the river that protects us from new jersey
Looking out across the Hudson River

chair art
The practicality of New York

table art
Functional public art. Have a seat next to Tony.
