Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(Oct 6) preed came to town, his first visit since 2007. I didn’t get to spend enough time with him the last time because Billy had just begun his death spiral. This time Paul probably saw more than enough of me. This is that story. <insert Law & Order sound here />
Paul came to town
He stayed in the Columbus Circle area
The crazy people were there to greet us
He gave a talk at the Wall St. Atrium
We had lunch at Katz’s. The live entertainment was a family that repeatedly left their baby unattended at the table where it sucked on a mustard bottle.
We walked to Brooklyn across the Brooklyn Bridge
Then walked back to Manhattan across the Manhattan Bridge
We made landfall in Chinatown.
Someone in the Bronx who works at the Irish bar he ate at cloned his card to buy a $1000 phone.

(Aug 8) I find myself back in Pennsylvania farm country for the second time in a year, on completely unrelated business. This time, it was a visit to the jerky factory. I didn’t take any photos at the factory.
I hardly took any at all actually.
It doesn’t take long before the city fades into farmland.
The obligatory horse drawn buggy shot
And other horses
We left so early it was barely mid-afternoon when we passed through the city again on the way home.

(Aug 1) The second half of my trip from downtown to Penn Station.
The suburban hydrants are all painted yellow. I like this better.
Even the buildings want to be loved
How inviting
This undoubtedly is a Jim Power mosaic.
When these churches went up, they were probably the tallest things around. Today, they seem small indeed.
Patriotism meets Halloween
A relic that will doubtless soon be gone
Passing through the farmer’s market
The statue of Andy Warhol for no apparent reason
Empire, revealed
What have we here?
The hoax of the day
This faux rat probably ended the day stolen
Then back to the land of ‘meh’

(Aug 1) A trip to see a client downtown. I walked back up Broadway as I have many times before, knowing this time, like the other times, would be different from any other time.
Seen passing through Jamaica Station… WTF.
They abbreviate all the bad things. Coincidence?
I need to find out what this is
It’s still a surprise anything ever got started
I set out after visiting a client, and passed through City Hall Park
Thomas Schütte
“Memorial for Unknown Artist”
Elmgreen & Dragset
“It’s Never Too Late to Say Sorry”
Plaques from a simpler time?
Justin Matherly
“New Beaches”
I left the park, heading up Broadway….
Beverly Pepper
“Manhattan Sentinels”
One more sentinel

(Jul 13) Today, I did something different. It wasn’t what I’d call a success story though, but that’s probably in no small part due to my not feeling well.
My arrival in the city
My arrival at HOPE 9
William Binney gave the keynote
Trust not the anonymous QR code
I admire the use of public space
A lesser-obtained angle for me
