(Jan 21) At some point, I don’t remember when, I discarded my bills and other papers relevant to my time in Port Jefferson Village. I have now discarded similar items from my time in Brooklyn. I no longer see my return to NYC as a return much anymore. It will be something new, something different.
I went to LaGuardia Airport and all I got was a photo of this sign
I spent far too much time putting these stickers on bags
(Apr 20) This post was Snoop-approved.
The wearer was a very friendly tourist/student.
Someone’s having a shitty evening
Would you like some raccoon with your beer?
Seeing this on my phone, I couldn’t resist saving it.
(Apr 18) I am continually asked why I am doing this. It is hard to explain.
When you enter the city by car on the Long Island Expressway,
you rise as you approach Manhattan,
Then you go down under the river
I’m still trying to get the perfect shot down here

I think the ubercamera is up to the task,
for now, here is my simulation of an earthquake during a tunnel trip.
(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
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
The non-silent movie projector
Is a Sony console TV with Betamax VCR.
(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”
I left the park, heading up Broadway….
