vz: Love the guy with the hiking backpack, shorts, fannypack and camera in that last one.

from snopes.com: Legend: Old running shoes hanging from trees and power lines are 'gang signs.' Origins: All across the United States, you'll encounter discarded shoes hanging from wires, poles, and trees. Theories as to what these shoes signify abound, but, contrary to what one hears, there's no one right...

in response to Shoes

jyk: there is a shoe tree in nevada it must have over 500 pairs of shoes on it. the shoe tree is in the middle of nowhere on u.s. 50, about 30-40 miles east of fallon nv.

in response to Shoes

elaine: this in response to this BTW

in response to citynoise?

elaine: like the phrase - forensic poem - very evocative. re compass, can see a nerdy appeal, it's better than putting a milk bottle in to show scale, at least, which we were pragmatically advised at college. no way! (less it was about milk bottles, of cours)

in response to Candyneck & Other Earthbound Texts

elaine: if you are interested in this kind of thing trawl the net entries on 'outsider art'. the periodical 'raw vision' has a website www.rawvision.com/. lots of these people are alive and visitable, but some are not and some are cranky - goes with the calling somewhat. however if you don't...

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

jyk: gg, a new poetic form is born on the street(s) of brooklyn, ny - looks like the great american forensic poem. fragments of language and image. culture on the morning of the day after tomorrow. i see- i don't need words- for the entire message is encoded in our media...

elaine: walls have ears; keep mum, she's not so dumb; careless talk costs lives... and remember to wash behind your ears

in response to Candyneck & Other Earthbound Texts

GGP: you can never be too careful these days.

GGP:

elaine: i prefer the idea that a very intrepid fuzztype has sneaked right up under their nose and done that even to the possibility of om guru om policing... is that wrong of me?

in response to Detroit Police

jeeff: that moss graffiti is amazing.

in response to Wheatpasting: How to

elaine: we have, since the days of the visiting team of the IRA in london, had no litter bins and lots of notices - ours centre around a notion of 'suspicious packages'. why the packages are suspicious of us, i do not know, but it is best to report them, becuase...

in response to Candyneck & Other Earthbound Texts

GGP: My eyes must be playing tricks. The logo in the badge motif looks like someone sitting in the full lotus position with arms outstretched and a white towel draped over the shoulder.

in response to Detroit Police

elaine: i could see the mundane anchoring of what existentially is rather a nice little poetic, but i think you pulled it out of the mundane, candy neck

in response to Candyneck & Other Earthbound Texts

GGP: if you see something say something is the post-9/11 mantra on the NYC subway system. you know--suspicious packages, people taking photos of trash, atypical behavior...

elaine: marc: i am honoured that you glommed on to me! and whyn't you put this to swinney? i finally, after much griping and grizzling did. it was weird to do something without any external theme, and without pictures. since then i have been inclined to do written things here as...

Jose (Girona): Animo Don Justo, aveces rayos de luz como los de este hombre, hacen que vuelba ha creer en la raza humana, independientemente de creencias y religiones, es cuestión de perseverancia y amor propio y demuestra que si el ser humano se lo propone puede hacer cualquier cosa.

Come on Skert: You low life graffiti motherfu*ker. Get a job loser. You still in Marin with your mommy? Proactiv should help with those zits little b*tch. Post something Skert, I know who you are believe it.

John: Oh what a beautiful day it is.

in response to Falls Road: Belfast

GGP: Yes, and there is definitely some kind of message being transmitted about the symbiotic relationship between healing and going slow and time.

in response to It Isn\'t Easy Being Green

Cristina.: A Don Justo se le nota que es feliz, carece de muchas cosas materiales, pero su obra y el empeño por acabarla le hacen el hombre más rico del mundo. ¡Animo Don Justo! Espero, de corazón, que logres terminarla.

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Ben: Hooray, those remind me of school trips! I always found it kind of creepy how ducks and owls coudl do that excorist-style thing with their necks... brr.

in response to hackney city farm

vz: blurry images before security asks you to leave are the best kind. and i think taking this at dawn really helped capture the feel, moreso than midday would have.

in response to Sent inals

Marc: i have been writing and working (very hard) and traveling, but nothing in the citynoise genre as of late- though i desperately want to! Have to trepan some other stuff out of my head first.. here's something recent, with no pics and not about a city, so i'll just glom...

in response to hackney city farm

elaine: sad in a way, but also very cool. the one where the chain fence has just been melted through is amazing...tree chi... this strikes me as less cruel than 'bred' trees where willow is introduced to make another kind oftree 'weep' - you can see struggle in those trees, whereas...

Anonymous (c-65-96-116-98.hsd1.ma.comcast.net): It's amazing the feelings a picture can generate. You can just feel the energy of the city in these photos.
