I don't know why I liked a green car in front of the florist. I think it's the O in the sign.

I don't know who paints these pink clouds with the lightning. I've only seen three and they're all on the same block, so it could be some random whim. I like the colors though.

I have a ton of shots of this person's work. I don't know the name but I think I once saw it tagged as J-Bird. The only text indication I've seen in a couple pieces with the word "ahead." Anyway, this is the best I've seen so far; right there next to real garbage cans like that.

Neighborhood report: Bedford & N6th

A Coffe Shop
Northeast corner, Bedford Ave and N6th.

I guess it only makes sense that with the population of Williamsburg exploding and all of those people syphoning into the Bedford Ave L train that there'd be new shops opening to dump coffee on all those commuters as they pass.

When I asked the fellow sitting there in the doorway what was going in he told me, "A coffee shop." When will it open? September.


'Dee Light'
This used to be the deli on the southwest corner of Bedford and N6th.

My brief conversation with one of the workers whose first language is something Asian:

What's going in here, a restaurant?
Yes... No, a store.
Oh? A store? What sort of store? Do you know?
It's ah... De light.
Dee light?
Yes, de light. De light... [walks away]

So.... another tastee d lite? A lighting store? Groove is in the heart? I guess it's not really news if I don't know what I'm reporting. Probably a store anyway.

Three wheels on this.
Is there some kind of oddball garage just for novelty ad vehicles?

New exotic Doritos
Found in a Seattle supermarket, they're Doritos with no flavor powder on them, just salt.

This is a little blue because the sun was almost down. I may give this another try in black and white and see if I can keep the texture.

I don't see many grumpy teens (or any other kind) in the city so this was pretty funny to me. (Seattle)

The Wackness

"The Wackness"
Before I left they were setting up to shoot "The Wackness" on Dobbin St. IMDB doesn't have much but Google had some shots of one of the Olsen twins in it.

Now that I look at it, it has a July date so I wonder if I saw something else setting up.

Beastie Boys cheap seats

The Beastie Boys played McCarren Pool. It wasn't one of the free concerts though, so a lot of people gathered on the outskirts to listen and peek over the fence. I had my tripod and had some fun taking night shots. In my head they're all part of the same outing but I'll break them up thematically here.
