Fire Walk With Me

This guy on Manhattan Avenue was walking hard and heavy and moaning a lot. So, I took his picture and he whipped around and looked at me, about to say something and then he began to cough uncontrollably, which was my cue to disappear.

Stay weird, Greenpoint.

Bruised And Bloodied

Those make-up stands in drug stores where you can test out the color of a lipstick always end up like some twisted, battered death face.

Damn people, can we think about a fucking water filter for your house instead of buying gallons upon gallons of bottled water shipped from the other side of the planet?  Just sayin’.

Depressed Polish Mannequins

These ladies fit right into Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, with their dyed hair, serious composure and downward glances.  If they had arms, they would be smoking those thin-ass cigarettes.

Fourteen Avenue Doors

Happy New Year!!  This is my first post of 2012.  This is Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Here are some of the more interesting doors on Manhattan Avenue (between Driggs Avenue & Greenpoint Avenue) in good ole Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

Don’t you wish you had a door this effin cool?

If I owned one of these properties, I would put out a new door every six months and collect the tagged doors in a warehouse made out of sexy chickens.

Anyways.. here’s ten more..

25 Of My Favorite Urban Abstractions of 2011

I’m always looking for interesting abstract images created from every day life in this fine city of New York. Here are 25 of my favorite ones that I took in 2011. The picture above is just rain-soaked newspaper fround on a Manhattan sidewalk.

God Bless Old Rocker Killer Trainer

God Bless Deli on Manhattan Avenue.

I’ve only been here once in my life and a well-aged man with long gray hair put his hand over my jugular and told me how easy he could instantly kill me.

He noticed that I was coming from a rare workout at the Y and he told me that he could train me to be a warrior, while keeping his hand on my throat. I never actually said a word to him and never returned. It was one of my more fucked up Greenpoint moment over the past decade.  In my head, it’s now pretty funny. I think his neck was all inked, he scared the shit out of me and I froze and disappeared.
