Quotidian New York: Since then, Ferguson, Staten Island, and the rest of the whole damned militarized country

Tuesday, December 9, 2014

Rally at Foley Square, NYC, last Thursday. Lots of really good people there.

My walks and rides through everyday New York, mostly in Brooklyn, sometimes elsewhere.

A sketchbook of photos and movies..from photography to witnessing, from space to place.

Reading Georges Perec, Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, I have to reaffirm the value of observation in the sphere of the everyday - some of quite casual, and none of it objective - as the first step in creating social change.

Reading Marc Auge's Non-Places: Introduction to An Anthropology of Supermodernity, it's easy to recognize the human specifics, traces and personalizing that occurs in places and non-places alike. Places tell stories.

Hey! these are original images (except for war photographs from Jan 15, 2009), so please contact me if you think you might be thinking about downloading anything. My photos and movies are, in fact, licensed. See license info link on this page. Thanks.
