Spotted On On The Southside: Esteban Duran
When I saw the above juxtaposition I could not help but giggle. If there’s one thing politicians have to do a lot of it is smiling. So I shot a photo and kept on walking. Not even ten minutes later, lo and behold, I bumped into the man himself on South 3rd and Keap Street!
As you can see Mr. Duran has a genuine affection for sporting a smile! After talking shop and establishing:
- that my husband knows who to vote for— or more accurately: who NOT to vote for— under threat of being locked out of Chez Shitty* and
- that he was familiar with New York Shitty!
I wished him luck and continued on my peregrinations around his ‘nabe. Nice meeting you Mr. Duran— and good luck! As for the rest of you, dear readers: the polls close at 9:00 p.m.— SO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!

P.S.: Special thanks go out to this store’s proprietor, Chris, for asking me if I am over 21.

When Dania asked me why I wanted to take her picture, I said “I am hoping to do a photo series on Islam in New York. To try….” Here she jumped in and with a big smile said “To try and show we are not all terrorist?” Yes, kind of like that!

When I saw the above photo on Flickr it was love at first sight. So I asked Verbunkos, the person who shot it, if I could post it. Despite being a “two bit blogger” I like to exercise some semblance of professional courtesy. This goes double in regards to photography. As a fellow artist (who has been ripped off) I am very sensitive to this kind of thing. He replied:
Yes, definitely! There are a few more from earlier in the year as well…
Over the last few weeks I tried to visit all the public access points to our beloved creek, though I am sure missed a few. There are some mallards bathing in the shot of Maspeth Creek, poor guys…
Without further ado here they are. The last is my favorite. Enjoy!
Thanks again verbunkos!
