Just one of many things I discovered at the Met
Swapping Mac parts since 2002
self, remember that time
when you tried to hack your way around DOS with the goal of breaking into the school system and changing your grades in 8th grade? Instead of giving it all up, you could have just kept on with the programming part.
She’ll always be a favorite. Listen
Don't call it a comeback
When they were released last week, the company’s second-quarter financial results showed an overall loss largely owing to the write-down of some regional papers, but they also contained a much more important piece of data: The digital-subscription plan—the famous “paywall”—was working better than anyone had dared to hope…
…The bottom line for the paywall is more than the bottom line: The Times has taken a do-or-die stand for hard-core, boots-on-the-ground journalism, for earnest civic purpose, for the primacy of content creators over aggregators, and has brought itself back from the precipice. And if that does indeed end up being the case, there’s one unlikely person who deserves most of the credit: Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.

I’ve been updating the photo blog recently.
Today I figured it was a good day to head out to downtown Brooklyn, walk around and shoot. I found a few goodies like another this soon to be flea market. They’re converting shipping containers for vender’s booths ( @DekalbMarket ). It opens up tomorrow.
From here i took a long ride to bay ridge, sunset park, through park slope and prospect heights.
Not exactly sure where I am yet. Just been driving around brooklyn pretending like I’m a location scout.
These have been up for two years at national grid in bklyn. It’s my first time seeing my 5 images in person!
“‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless; it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored.’”

As a kid, my aunt would not allow us to say we are bored. We’d say it and she would quickly let us know how many things we could do with even just the couple sticks and rocks at our feet.
My Grandpa Jud used to play records for me all the time as a kid. I would sit on his floor while he propped his feet up, sat back in his worn leather chair, and smoked apple tobacco from his pipe. Whether it was rock or gospel, grandpas head would nod to the rhythm of the beat. I would always know what record was playing by the spinning colors and patterns in the center of the player. The rotating gradients would put you in a trance, only to be stopped by grandpa changing the record.
These are 2/4 prints in the Shop : )
paul, these are amazing.
Anthony Mackie Will Personally Serve You a Drink at His New Bar, Opening This Week
Tell us your favorite Brooklyn spots?
Franklin Park is a little beer garden that’s cool. Brooklyn Social for a drink, or just to chill. Black Swan is good. I eat a lot of local food. There’s a brisket house down the street, David’s Brisket House Deli, if you like corned beef and that kind of thing. It’s off the wall. I went to Katz’s with a group of friends, and brought them a sandwich from Dave’s. I was like, “Gotta up y’all game … we got this on lock over at Dave’s.” Even the guy at Katz’s was like, “Oh, yeah.” I just starting eating [pastrami].
Our little corner of Brooklyn is tasting real good these days.
Mone Carlo by Naturel
Out of Bed-Stuy and rolls with the Stuyvesants. These dudes are ridiculously talented and creative. He did all the artwork himself — one for every track.
A few of my first photos with a slr were of this Caprice Classic. I’m sure if many of you had friends with Monte Carlos or Caprice Classics or Buick Regals but back in my little home town in ohio they were/are everywhere. It’s like they are synonymous with getting money - hustlers and dopeboys loved them. You’ll see them now with HUGE wheels but they used to rock the 17” deep dish hundred (pronounced hunned) spoke Dayton’s. This may be the first roll of film I developed and processed back in 9th grade (notice my framing exercise with my little brother in the background).
I was reminded by all this because of a track called Monte Carlo from Naturel (go check this post out on flwrpt and please download the album, it’s dope). Listening to it has taken me back and has me wishing I could rent a classic car from zipcar today and go drive slow through Manhattan. My 14yo self would feel on top of the world! When the track is over I’d put on MC Eiht’s Straight Up Menace.
Geah.
