November remembers

inside an inside door, some subway station or other

on the R-train, someone uses a seat as a teacup

then on the G-train platform, cops arrest someone for fare evasion and I have to act as witness less something else goes wrong

the Brooklyn Technical High School lets the kids out, Fort Greene

two statements of coordinated footwear & pants

nearly full moon rises at Franklin & Lafayette Aves

sorry, but I saw a Death's Head

ah...that's the full moon over Van Buren Street

symmetry with scant attention paid to aesthetics

in Ridgewood, Queens - I'm drawn to this place by their signs

various things of varying circumstances

I thought this lineup of objects at the corner of Lafayette and Marcy Aves, right here in Bed-Stuy, was an art piece. But I passed the same corner yesterday and there were more objects, lined up, but there were also people lined up, with bags and carts - it was a line for free food for the needy, and the objects lined up so carefully, it turns out, are placeholders - if you want to keep your place in line, put something there. Then the people left and the objects remained.

We all know what happened to Sal's Pizza in 'Do The Right Thing,' don't we?

Sept. 11. It's not the moon, it's the memorial in light to the people who died on 9/11,
seen here at the corner of Lafayette and Nostrand Aves, Brooklyn

crowded subway train

Police in kilts, and lined up for funeral ceremony on Lafayette between
Nostrand and Marcy Aves.. Brooklyn

this is the view from the picnic table I was lying on - pure relaxation.

sorry, tree

the ugliest graffiti I've ever seen, Nostrand Ave.

These four pictures (above) are from the pizza and chicken place on Nostrand Ave between Lafayette and Clifton. The guy who works there is playing surveillance footage from the previous day, which shows a full-on fight that lasts many minutes. Gang b-s, most likely.

I don't know what or where this is, but I like it

At the Jay Street subway station, Brooklyn

I saw this guy at Atlantic Terminal - he was burdened by carrying something bulky in every pocket and also by having attached additional things to himself - wrapping things around his legs, for example. I was walking behind him. He didn't always use the crutches and I guessed that it wasn't his legs or feet that were troubling him. I wish him the best of luck, peace and quiet, and an end to his restlessness.
