Hi Heather! I hope you’re well!
I wanted to ask if you would help WIB promote an event we are hosting with Brooklyn Based, to raise funds for ReStore Red Hook…
Thanks so much for any help you’re able to give. If not, no worries, I hope to see you soon!
Done!

New York Shitty Feral Furniture Watch: 32 Days & Counting!
Filed under: 11211, Feral Furniture, Street Furniture, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Many of you have probably noticed my blogging has been sporadic of late. There are a couple of reasons for this:
- Yours truly is moving.
- Yours truly has been sick with whatever cold/sinus nastiness which has been inflicting folks hereabouts.
Today (after moving another salvo of shit stuff) I felt well enough to take a walk. I wanted to enjoy the pleasant weather. What’s more, I wanted to check in on my favorite al fresco living suite. Yes, I write of none other than the North 10th Street duet.
On November 4th I noted the chaise lounge to the right had moved a mite bit and given some valued-added in the way of a tag. Fascinating. So what did I see today, you ask?
My heart sank when I saw the boulder all by its lonesome self. But then I turned around and…
there they were!
Note how they are perfectly astride the building.
They appear to have acquired a hefty helping of guano as well. Why did the feral furniture cross the road? Beats the hell out of me. Those of you who are keeping count (and you know who you are) we’re at 32 days and counting!
To be continued…
The Word On The Street, Part I: Special Q & A Edition
Filed under: 11211, Culture War, The Word On The Street, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Thought of the day: something I have become very aware of when I am out and about taking photos is the fact that my presence does have some impact on any/all human subjects I capture. Or to put it differently: all portraiture, be it deliberate or accidental, is colored by the interaction between photographer and subject.
So let’s take what happened when I was trying to take a photograph of a rather substantial construction fence I spied this afternoon. A 20-something fellow decided to wave his arms, shout:
Be sure you get me!!!
and generally be obnoxious. Would he have done this if I was, say, a 6’2″ 200 pound man? Probably not. He’d be afraid of having his ass kicked. Am I upset about this? No, not really. What this fellow didn’t know was what I was attempting to document. Had he known this I suspect he would have deported himself differently. I for one am glad he didn’t!
