The elevated subway rattling into the station down the block, as seen through the trees; the light in every window and balcony a different color; the size differentials of the buildings making far things seem near and every near thing look unique

Sometimes I just love where I live so much. Tonight, I went downstairs to throw the garbage, and there was such a beautiful clarity in the air that I wound up walking around for a while

There's something very on point about the giant LED "subway violence is surging, vote Cuomo" propaganda scare truck being illegally parked in the middle of one of Western Queens's prime trick or treat runs

Had lunch at a pizza parlor that appears unchanged since sometime in the 80s

I still haven't finished the roll I had in Philly but it's likely gonna add up to a theme of "musicians and buildings." It's also B&W so I'm hoping for the effect of photos that look very old but then there's also like an ebike in the shot

Some days, I wake up with the impulse to do a random impression (a celebrity, a video game character, etc.) The extremely specific one in my head this morning is Fred Flintstone from Fruity Pebbles commercials. "BARNEY! 😡"

Here I am trying to do this in the spirit of the game thinking Adam has MADE it a game to find this secret video (is Dora a clue? Is it hiding in plain sight in his bio?) and Ben just up and posts the link directly. In fairness, I was not close to guessing what it was

can YOU find the jet lag video that isn't on our youtube channel?

I don't usually pay much attention to cars, but sometimes, there are interesting ones around the neighborhood

I'd never heard of this guy until a few people I follow started posting or reposting about his far-too-early passing, but I'm liking pretty much everything I've read so far. What a poignant body of work kalebhorton.ghost.io/london-calli...

London Calling

I never talk about this. Mostly because I’m off social media. I have good reasons for that. It’s a way to think you’re working when you’re actually not. It’s no longer a great way to get jobs. It make...

I generally prefer Queens to Brooklyn, but the latter does have at least as many good photo opportunities

No one seems to make the kind of desk I want (my current desk but a little wider and taller), so I'll simply have to build my own

Honey roasted carrots 😋 They came out okay for a first attempt! And these are extremely high quality carrots I brought back from Vermont--they were likely pulled out of the ground the same day I bought them at the farm

There's some kind of sale at Staples that's creating lines of Trader Joe's length at both locations in my neighborhood and that's wild to see in a store that's normally dead empty
