elaine: i am feeling a new wave of screenprinting tagging coming on...!

in response to attention warning achtung

elaine: hee hee, thanks jeeff, i feel less lunatic knowing that. i did fried egg sandwiches when i was a teenager for the longest time, and i still have mono jags now. particularly embarassing when eating out and i have a favourite dish in a particualr place, i worry about what...

in response to today

jeeff: peter - there's a links page on that site. get 'em to link citynoise!

jeeff: ha ha.

in response to English

jeeff: monomania. that reminds me, i ate grilled cheese every day for a year once and enjoyed it all the way through. in fact i frequently miss it now.

in response to today

jeeff: i am thinking of using the screen printing tutorial to print a t-shirt of the "look point" crosswalk sign.

in response to attention warning achtung

jeeff: probably voodoo.

in response to attention warning achtung

jeeff: by the way peter, first image is none other than a fedex truck!

in response to landscape text (odds & ends)

elaine: well lets kick off with some old ones. i will go look mine out...

in response to today

Peter: ive taken food photos before, too. i see a series brewing here, heh.

in response to today

elaine: this is a natural thing for me to do - i actually have a historical backlog of dinner photos - even from when i was using analog cameras and film was precious i still photographed food before i ate it sometimes, so i very much expect i will do it...

in response to today

elaine: i like that link. i used to work in a theatre in the LX dept, and used to make the boys explain electricity to me, which was more fun than it sounds, as it is a lot less categorical than you would think - frisntance in a ship the ship...

in response to tokyo by night

Peter: i propose that everytime you eat fish, you should photograph it and put it in this entry's comments, heh! :)

in response to today

Peter: heh heh!

in response to today

elaine: i went back again to west london today and went back and had the same thing, like the monomaniac i am

in response to today

elaine: the poor english!

in response to English

elaine: cripes! hool! peter, i went to the south of france after always seeing cezanne paintings, and the hills just looked like big cezanne sculptures, as if they existed after the paintings. i am sure if i ever go to toronto i will obstinately see hoolishly

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

elaine: and some come to threaten each other with angry caps locks, just like a real city

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

elaine: good point. plus it is a great base for screen printing

in response to landmark

Peter: in case youre wondering... Ulysses S. Grant was a famous Union (Northern/Yankee) general that led the American army against the secessionist Southern rebels in America's Civil War: www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/ug18.html He is a hero to most anti-secessionist Americans, and still regarded with some due amount of vitriol by the states-right's advocating Southerners who still...

in response to Who\'s Burried in Grant\'s Tomb?

PHIL STEIN: WHERE CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS ''PET BIRD''?

in response to Pet Bird Redux

Peter: the high-quality hool photostream continues... hey hool, as my views of toronto are influenced largely on the visions you portray in your photos (having never been there in person) you might be interested to know that whenever i think of the place or meet someone from there, etc, some of...

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

Peter: be nice, guys. all relevant ideas are welcome here. i suppose that each poster has to decide what "relevant" is, themselves. some come to post city-pictures. some come to write, some to read, some to be creative in more abstract ways. its all good...

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

Peter: they keep moving... and getting knocked over and crushed:

in response to English

kobe: and the hits just keep on rolling in, hool. these are lovely photos. any idea what is going on in the first?

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

Editor: someday spammers/flooders/flamers/agitators will learn that we log IPs here, and will most likely stop their annoyances when they realize how often I email abuse teams/sys-admins re: such behavior.

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

kobe: ...and still doesnt make any sense. but ok. i guess you win cause you used alot of really big smart-sounding words 8-)

in response to may 26 2005 toronto

Shay: I liked the article cause it was real, straight up NY style!

in response to The Streets Speak in a Native Tongue: Harlem

ea: feel no obligation to comment on things you neither understand nor appreciate. abstraction is a vital tool in articulating a whole. consistent algorithmic documention is not particularly insightful, it's just living history. but the deflected unanticipated perspective changes things, offers hope.

SENDA-MEJORADA DEL CAMPO: HI EVERYBODY, I AM LIVING IN THIS SMALL TOWN NEAR MADRID, AND I NOTICE THAT THE HUMAN BEING CAN BE CHANGED IN FEW MOMENTS ONLY BECAUSE ONE PERSON HAVE A BRILLANT IDEA. 40 YEARS WORKING ALONE WITHOUT NO INSTITUCIONAL SUPPORTING AND NOW AFTER A TV ADVERTISEMENT EVERYTHING IN MR JUSTO...

jojo: Y me jode de todas maneras por Justo y su fuerza humana que todo vaya a irse al suelo por las excavadoras dentro de unos años. Que nadie dude que me jode.

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

jojo: ¿Qué el sistema social no le apoya? Lo gordo sería que alguien apoyase la construcción compulsiva de catedrales en un Estado laico (España).

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

kobe: nice signs, jeeff. wonder how they get the shopping carriages to lock up though.

in response to attention warning achtung

kobe: anything looks better chromed.

in response to landmark

kobe: well, who else would be burried there!

in response to Who\'s Burried in Grant\'s Tomb?

kobe: mmmm, chips!

in response to today

kobe: ok. i still dont get what any of this confusion has to do with "citynoise". but to each their own, i guess.

in response to today

Peter: "coo-var" and "vandalene" are two words ive definitely not heard before, heh.

Peter: another photo to add to the chips/french fries series!

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Dessirée - Caracas: It is incredible!! I am agree with Gorsei's opinion. The political and social system has a rebeld in Justo. May be his work will fall down after his dead because these kind of things are not interesting at all for the oligarchy of the power.

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

jeeff: check out users.pandora.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm. the electrical system in eastern japan (including tokyo) is compatible with canada and the states, as long as you don't have anything with a 3rd prong. when i went, i took a power bar and pulled the 3rd prong out with a pair of pliers,...

Elena-Madrid: Increible!!! es alucinante que una persona se haya planteado un objetivo de tal envergadura y lo esté logrando. La verdad es que supone un empujón, una motivación para todos para dar constancia a las cosas. Enhorabuena!!

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

elaine: do a little research in advance - if your electricity is a similar voltage it will be ok. it might just be UK that is incompatible with everywhere, but out voltage is so high that if you take appliances to USA they don't get enough juice from the supply, and...

Paco: I don't know if it has been heavenly inspired, I don't know if this man is completely crazy, I don't know the future impact of this issue in Spanish authorities. I only know what I feel, I feel full of thrills. I feel like going now to give him a...

elaine: and it makes a fine background for art

in response to landmark

nb: i like how the 1st pic says un, but it's faded.

in response to landmark

nb: this is sad. no really it is. bloods online?

in response to Blood Graffiti

ea: I appreciate the tight edges of this montage, and like spinnin, somehow it's just visually more believable. diagonals can be so overpowering, burn the image of the frame and dissolve the memory of the photo content.

in response to compiled cranes

ea: nope there's a lot of stencil art and paste-ups beautifying the bland painted ones. really more things should come with a chrome option. if it works for classic cars and classic furniture...

in response to landmark

jeeff: wow, are all the electrical boxes in portland chromed like that? it looks like the bad terminator from T2 is playing hide and seek.
