From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Party At Ground Zero
Taken by dwc April, 25th 2014.
After the recent brouhaha about the 9/11 Museum selling cheese plates today I decided to see exactly who goes there. For purely snow globe purposes, mind you.
It was— and this is being kind— like watching a huckster’s tent at a freak show. They come from near and far to pay a tour guide/a dime $25.00 a gander at this city’s misery…
Display their patriotism. Conspicuously.
Buy shit.
Pose with the police
And then they leave.
New York Shitty Photos Du Jour: Special “Stick or Carrot” Edition

Mosco Street, 10013
Courtlandt Alley, 10013
Same zip code, (more or less) same premise: no dumping. As you can see, gentle readers, asking nicely seems to work better than signage and surveillance. On an eerily related note I am proud to share my two most recently completed snow globes. Meet “Detente” versions two and three!
In progress. Surveillance cameras + exhibitionists = a match made in heaven. The yellow sign reads “SMILE, You’re looking great!”
Given what I saw— and smelled*— on Courtlandt Alley today:
- Credence is given to the argument that surveillance cameras do not make people more safe. They are not a deterrent against crime and/or other activities generally frowned upon by “polite society”. All they do is record it. They’re only as good as the person watching them. I can only imagine what the person “manning” the CCTV on Courtlandt saw.
- Methinks “Detente” version six needs to happen. (Yes, I already have two more versions on “the list”.)
Anyone interested in acquiring any of these objets de arte (once again) can/should shoot me an email at missheather (at) thatgreenpointblog (dot) com. Be sure to note which one piques your interest. Happy Friday!
