Zone – Updated
One of my favorite parking lot got a paint job! Even though the contrast is better now, I miss the old ‘zone’. (What would the Flatlanders think?)

Cryptic Directions
I was feeling a bit lost during my walk the other day. The directions posted on the sidewalk didn’t help much.
Sidewalk-glyphics
They are changing the numbers of all the buildings in a complex we frequent. It is confusing. Perhaps the multi-colored chalk scribbles on the sidewalk are a clue to the new-building numberers about which numbers go to which buildings.
Stone Treads
I remember tripping on pavement squares that have been raised by tree roots expanding underneath them. Some time later the offending edges were spray painted bright red; shortly thereafter the edges were ground smooth with each other. No more tripping hazard. Below is an intersection between several sidewalk sections. Something about the arrangement must have […]
Eclipse on Street
I took my home made camera obscura to the street. The street became the focal plane.

Slim
I took this photo on Coney Island in the winter. It has an off-season look to it. It’s a bit like graffiti, but not quite. I don’t know how to classify it.
The Meadows’ Dog Graffiti
Today’s watercolor experiment: There are at least two layers of interest in my vertically-formated photographs, especially my street snapshots. On many occasions I have taken a series of shots of the same subject in horizontal and vertical orientations to get a better sense of the scene. David Hockney had an issue with the lack of […]
St. Mark’s Graffiti
Today’s watercolor experiment: As unbelievable as it seems, sometimes my photographs are sub par. I know! Hard to believe. However even though the reference photograph for today’s watercolor is a bit hard to read, it inspired an interesting watercolor. I reversed the order of my images in today’s post, beginning with the reference photograph. It is a […]
