very simple

Yet another in my pile of largely “decorative” cameras. I think it might still actually work, but it’s incredibly difficult (and expensive) to find film that fits, and in the age of the digital camera, it doesn’t seem to be worth the effort. But still a pretty cool looking piece that cost me $5 at a tag sale (I bargained the guy down from $10!).

Today I had to spend most of the day at another office, but the place actually afforded a pretty great view of the Helmsley Building, which is where I normally go when I go to work these days.

And back to the grind after a 3-day weekend. Another night waiting for the bus on 6th Avenue. I think this spire is part of the (relatively) new Bank of America Tower.

Watching the inauguration on TV today provided me with a bit of inspiration. I admit that I didn’t wear this button quite as much as I did during the 2008 election, but I still voted for Obama, and I’d vote for him again if I had the chance.

Just a few more pics from my stroll down houston street today. A little disconcerted by the fact that it was, yet again, in the 50s in January, but I’ll take advantage of it while it lasts.

Select photo from a walk across Houston street today. Additional pics to come later.

I’m still trying to find the erector set Eiffel Tower, but for now the empire state building will have to suffice. Erector sets were my favorite toy as a child.

Trying to limit myself to one cat photo a week, so I’m taking a cue from the rest of the Internet (at least for this week) and doing a little Friday cat blogging.

I’m sure I’ve posted a photo of this as part of another 365 project, but there are only so many tchochkes in my apartment to take pictures of at the last minute when I’m hunting for a subject at 11:30pm. So there will be repeats. hopefully they will have different framing/editing/whatever so that it’s clear that they’re not actually just duplicates of the old photos.

In any event, magnetic kitchen timer stuck to the fridge, because my kitchen is so tiny that I buy anything I find that allows me to reduce the clutter/crap on the countertop.

There’s nothing quite like the luxury of the craft services table late at night on a street that is pretty much the closest thing to an alley you’ll find in midtown (45th and Park, behind the Metlife building). Encountered on my way out of the office. The permits for the film list something titled “A Winter’s Tale”, which apparently stars a LOT of famous people. None of whom I actually saw.
