Better Than Real Because It's Not.

I’m not feeling this like I used to, but I go because Pete wants to, and I need to escape every now and then.
I walk down here a lot, even when I don’t have a train to catch.
Among other things, I like to reassure myself I can escape suburbia.
The next day it was off to the park.
Failure of what was recently the most profitable restaurant in the United States.
They weren’t bad, if I recall correctly.
Unlike most days, it wasn’t crowded.

Pete’s been going to the park almost obsessively lately. Most of the time I go with him. The only problem with it is you can’t let your mind wander much. The bicyclists are the victims on the streets of NYC, but in Central Park, they’re pretty much the sole perpetrators of all unsafe conditions faced by everyone else.
Like the ALT tags say.

Pete agreed to haul a load out of Brooklyn for me if I agreed to go rollerblading in Central Park. Things have gone downhill quite a bit since then. It already seems like it was long ago.
He almost never goes forward except in reverse.
Pete hates the cyclists… passionately.
Some girl caught his eye.

(May 26) One theme that may or may not be apparent here is that I’ve been photographing a lot of controversies. This exhibit became controversial within days of being removed after having been installed months ago, thanks to the presence of a piece representing someone portraying themselves as Che Guevara.
“Che Guevara”
The image of Che is still controversial it seems.
You’d never guess this given what a pop culture symbol his face had become.
“Caesar”
“Dali Woman”

(September 24) Went to see David Blaine’s latest bit of performance art. (I’m being kind) I was surprised to find him not-upside-down when I got there. I found out later I shouldn’t have been.
Believe it or not, this is not the real Statue of Liberty
I’m always struck by the contrast here. There are skyscrapers a couple of hundred feet behind me.
When I got to Wollman Rink, this crowd was gathered to see….
David Blaine standing around, chatting. Note the not-upside-downness.
Apparently he took “breaks” every hour. So much for the whole 60 hours thing.
Eventually he did go back out on the harness.
Ho hum.
Fowl.
