Nothing is more surreal than crossing the street in Long Island City yesterday beside what I can only guess is a giant, glasses-wearing red blood cell, and overhearing him talking to the guy next to him about how hard it is to find an affordable 2-bedroom in the city.
They went into a Mexican restaurant, then came out moments later and went back the way they came.

I was waiting forever in heavy traffic on Norfolk Street to turn onto the Williamsburg Bridge when I noticed this sign. It seems pretty old (I’m sure that crossed circle was once red), and the more I thought about it, the more I decided that it has to be the most abstract official traffic sign…
Ha, OK, this is the strangest thing. Last week, I was driving around the east side of the Bronx when I found myself in a nice residential area… I happened to look up and notice the street sign: Huh. Ampere Ave. Sort of an unusual street name for a residential neighborhood. For those (like myself)…
I was shooting some buildings around Madison Ave in the 20’s Tuesday (just before the snowpocalypse of 2010 hit) when I noticed this red minivan parked illegally. Specifically, what caught my eye was not the car itself, but rather the weird wire coming out of the rear window, running into the gas tank, coming back…
Seen in a Queens apartment lobby: Rough. I did my best to crouch. -SCOUT
I was recently up scouting the College of Mount St. Vincent, which has a gorgeous campus overlooking the Hudson River. Mount St. Vincent often appears during daylight hours as an archetypal college in movies and TV shows (the movie Doubt in particular). But personally, I love visiting at night. Seriously – how can you beat…
Last week, I was scouting the Church of the Intercession in Washington Heights… …and after, I took a quick swing through Old Trinity Cemetery to see if I could find anything…weird.

He’s an advert for Red Cross blood donations. I don’t know what his name is, but I like to call him the Hemogoblin.
That’s hilarious!
And now the theme from Bosom Buddies is playing in my head. Great shot.
Thanks for making me laugh out loud, especially the part about their conversation. I needed that.
It looks like a drop of blood, but isn’t a red blood cell. they’re shaped like donuts with too much icing.
