(All images taken using a Pentax K1000 with NPC 160 Speed film. Each image can be clicked to enlarge. Captions, if any, below each image.) We went to the Union Square Farmer’s Market on Saturday and took some picutures. Here is Toby Joe with a fake smile. Preserves tasting. The goods. A man sits outside…

I lived in New York on September 11th, 2001. I wrote about my experience 3 days after the attack. I watched the first plane hit without the protection of a TV screen. I watched people jump to avoid the fire. I watched them run up Broadway, crying. And then I watched those magnificently tall buildings…

Yesterday, after a discussion about food with a woman I work with, Toby Joe and I took her up on a suggestion and headed to a raw restaurant called Pure Food and Wine. Pure Food and Wine is pricey, but it’s well worth the splurge. Located on Union Square East, it has to fight with…

We are trying something different this weekend on Self-Portrait Day. I have opened up the site to New Yorkers who experienced 9/11/01. I know it’s last minute, so I don’t expect much of a response, but if you’re interested in taking part, please send your images and a short story about your experience (if it’s…

Here are more images from Rhode Island. These are boring “landscape” images because Toby Joe mixed my film in with his and he won’t let me take them to my developer because he only trusts C-Lab. That being said, the rest of my images won’t see the light of day until he takes all the…

The article came out directly following Google’s announcement about plans to release an addition 14 million shares of stock and the release of their new chat client called Talk. Of course, there are going…

Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the New York State Health Department has urged that restaurants stop serving foods containing trans fats known as chemically modified ingredients that significantly increase the risk of heart disease. Already, the mere request has trigged opposition. A friend told me that it’s none of the governments business what…

I just got back from the DMV where I got my New York license plates and registration completed for my 1975 Volvo. At first, the mission seemed impossible. I got there at around 8 AM and the line was already around the corner and half way down 34th Street. Like this: Only I didn’t realize…

We sat on the front porch and waited for Ethan. He was bringing the title to me. The air-conditioner units from all thee floors above spit down on us and for a few minutes I mistook it for rain. Jason, our neighbor, showed up first. He lives on the first floor. We usually know when…
