Sorry, can’t get past it. Happy holidays.
Mediaeval Babes →
My hard drive fell apart last night. I am sad. Anyway, this is about as close as I’ll get to Christmas music on the blog.
Getting Straight on Hitchens →
Christopher Hitchens left this mortal coil late last week before he could say goodbye to Vaclav Havel and Kim Jong Il. I was disturbed by all the eulogies that praised him effusively for having…

Hugh Haggerty Photo Show, August 2011 →
I’ll have a total of seven photos on display at SIP for the month of August with a reception August 4th, 6-9 pm. SIP is a small bar/restaurant and this is very informal. I usually DJ there on…
Two from Bushwick →
As New York gentrification hits more remote spots, I have my doubts that certain places will change as rapidly as some neighborhoods did in the past. (Also, my photo show at SIP may be postponed….

Catching my pal Deb Bowman sing at a local pub. She is going places! She’s doing a luxury cruise circuit for a year and a half after this. (Sorry my phone camera is so crappy.)

Scene Promise →
This is a harmless example but sometimes you walk around and there are random piles of crap. If I ever catch someone leaving a mess bigger than a dog would leave, there will be a cow.

If you’ve been following Glenn Greenwald, you don’t need to read this, but if you haven’t, it’s a must-read. Beginning with Eisenhower’s warnings about the military industrial complex to…
Working the WFMU Pledge Marathon →
I’m in the WFMU studios in Jersey City working the phones for the pledge marathon. Support freeform public radio! They only do this once a year folks! Pictured are Dave and Dominic and Trouble is…

Now That I’m Not Famous →
Photobucket has removed all of its upload buttons. Your mileage may vary. Why do I even deal with photobucket? You might as well ask a 70s movie director why they dealt with anything.
Fire on 109th Street →
This happened on January 2nd of this year. It was a while since I last emptied out the photos from my camera. The fire was out within 20 minutes and it looks like damage was mostly limited to…

Fall Into Winter →
I have neglected the blog the blog for a while and I apologize. Before fall definitely changed into winter I took a few tree shots. I also have a few blizzard shots that I’ll upload very soon… and…

Camping and Stuff, Summer 2010 →
Here’s a photo dump from last summer. A friend and I went up to North Adams, Massachusetts in the Berkshires for Bang on a Can’s Mass MOCA festival. Unfortunately, none of the performance shots came…
At the Lake On a Cloudy Day →
Well, that about sums it up. I’ll be loading a full gallery or two of my summer any day now.
Long Time In The Tanning Booth →
This post is sort of a New Yorker cartoon.

A Day for New York →
The first amendment is alive and well in New York City. “Bloomberg fought back tears as he recalled that on 9/11, “more than 400 of those first responders did not make it out alive. In rushing…

Rocks Off Boat Cruise Photos →
On July 20th 2010, I went on a Rocks Off boat cruise that cost only $10! What a deal! I took some pictures of the bands (Miniboone, The Naked Heroes, and the Mess Around) but they were all…
Grey Fox Bluegrass Fest →
Last weekend I was at the Grey Fox bluegrass festival and despite most of my friends not showing up until the weekend, I had a blast. I picked up a passenger from craigslist and her party was…
Yellow Square →
This is a small place to hang out. Stay tuned for some galleries.
Early Morning Central Park →
I took a ton of pix but I’m an editor. When was the last time you saw Sheep’s Meadow with no one there?
Made a Slideshow →
I was fooling around with iPhoto and made this slideshow of mostly reject photos although some are published already. The music is “Thunderbird” by The Whitefield Brothers. They may ask me to take…
New York Summer Night Still Lifes →
These photographs were taken over the course of a few night bike rides downtown, mostly along the Hudson River greenway.
Fire Escape Performers →
I caught this charming couple singing catchy tunes off a fire escape on 14th Street last night. This is on the stretch between 6th and 7th Avenue and across the street from the Salvation Army…
The Invisible Dog Gallery →
I went to a CD release party for the guitar quartet called Dither a few weeks ago. Dither is emulating the Bang on a Can mission by producing casual concerts of new music in unique settings….

Books Love the Kids →
In the words of Jim Anchower, I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya. I have many photos to sort out and things to think about — and whether I’ll write more than two sentences about these…

Circles of Central Park →
Another shot of Columbus Circle at night. I had a gander around the new Frederick Douglas Circle on the north-west side of Central Park and it is the most austere of traffic circles around the…
High Line at Night →
I finally went to the completed High Line which I saw way before the renovation thanks to OHNY. It’s probably the most unique/odd renovated space in any urban environment. In this case, WFMU…
TV Noir, Culture, and the Internet →
True TV noir started with The X-Files. Twilight Zone was black and white and nobody picked up the ball when it stopped. Anyway, before Molly proposed her question and got some answers, I was
MAGIC MOLLY: Mutant dating →
Here’s a question for anybody who watches TV or reads genre fiction!
Let’s say the social and political importance of sci-fi was, originally, its ability to smuggle transgressive material to readers or viewers in the form of an allegory. Genre fiction / TV was an easy way for authors to write…
This response illustrates a couple of examples. I’ve been rewatching the first seasons...

My [other] cat is dying. Her brother died about a year and a half ago. I haven’t been taking pictures though I’ve been going out some. Happy Memorial Day! In a way, we’re all soldiers so it’s a…
Pace University from the Night Archive →
I’m phoning this one in.
Bonus Bolts →
Nice use of filler wedges. I always thought they were called shivs.
New Subway Hole →
The subway station at 96th Street has been open for a while though it still has some rough spots. People change and cities change. If they don’t, we get tired of them.
