Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I just vowed to stop reading this thread. It's doing my head in and I'm not learning anything. Except how to post things without proofing my spelling.

Survivor: To the people of the land. Sun, Moon, Stars, Water and Earth. We are all survivors. It's not the color of our skin that makes us survivors. It's the spirit of our heart and souls that keeps us motivated to go on each day when life...

in response to Humboldt Park

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I love this one! The colors are fantastic. The typeface is brilliant (design nut). For a static building, it's full of energy (it's the angles). Love it love it love it.

in response to Prescriptions

ian: The first picture has scary primary colors, like a Michael Graves building.

Peter: wow, that giant phone is cool. price-gouging, however, isn't. i used to use mci as my mobile carrier, then switched when i started learning about the seemingly endless offenses they've committed in the name of the almighty dollar... MCI-WorldCom, anyone?! hahahaha! what a fiasco.

in response to Attack of the Giant Phones

...: So you put people "in the know" by repeating the same comment? Lol. You are already making a bad name for yourself and your "exhibition" hasn't even happened yet! Double-lol! I don't think thats the way you want to go about publicizing yourself, is it?

Peter: thank you: contribute something useful to this thread or just go away. i thought you'd realize by now that none of us here are interested in making argument for argument's sake. no one is saying to keep god out of anything. we're just saying that you've chosen to focus on a...

SadStateOfAffairs: Peter, I will try to take some pictures of the park and our famous blue light special on Beach and Spaulding this weekend. The park itself is beautiful and the city is trying its best to clean it up. Every day that I wake up I thank God but that doesn't...

GGP: the phone receiver looks like some kind prophylactical device from another galaxy...or at least another solar system--I may have nightmares, too! ;)

elaine: that's an excellent theory

in response to GGP\'s Voo-Voo Building

elaine: easy done!

in response to Shopping on Flatbush

Peter: thats a cool photo. and elaine: i like the one you posted above. somehow i missed it the first go round.

in response to Shopping on Flatbush

GGP: it's like birdwatching...you have to really learn HOW to look in a particular way. you teach your eyes to look at/for certain things and to "read" the bird quickly, before it's gone. this makes me think of that. and, while I am at it, resonates with one of my favorite...

in response to GGP\'s Voo-Voo Building

GGP: the textures are so chewy and tactile. great.

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I was trying to get the naked manikins, but mostly got the reflection of the Chrysler building. Oh well.

in response to St Peters Close, Yes He Is

Peter: its only a few blocks away from the voo voo building. i love this part of town. id live there if it was a little less remote. it has easy subway access and all, but its mostly industrial/loft space without a ton of ammenities. like groceries within walking distance, etc. but...

elaine: aw, i feel bad i burst your bubble

elaine: nooo, it's a nice building, but not as greatbigmassive as that

GGP: the whole area is bleak...strangely underpopulated and netherworldish. the kind of liminal zone that's harder and harder to come by our neck of the woods these days. By the way, in your shot, Peter, on the right, there's a bit of graf I like and here's some more. Any info...

in response to GGP\'s Voo-Voo Building

Peter: ive never seen it. maybe some photos? ours is magnificent... thought maybe yours was too?

elaine: but peter, what? there's nothing interesting visual to say, and i think we've done the post codes

in response to Motorway Haiku: UK (Part One)

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: Maybe the plant is protected from predators, vampires have been bricked up and the gates stop itty bitty school children from running too fast and skinning their knees. Maybe.

in response to Escaped Pictograms

SadStateOfAffairs: As my wise old mother said to me many years ago, there is a time and a place for everything. The church is the place to preach the gospel and this is a forum for the neighorhood. If my brother were gay and I believed in gay rights because I...

Grant NYC: Yeah, I’m pretty shocked about how common this event is as well. I would say, just anecdotally, about 1 of every 6 women that I know has experienced some sort of guy-jacking-it-in-public situation (including my girlfriend).
