Jesus... could you be any more fucking awesome?
Print them big. Put them in a book, or a gallery. I could stare at some of those pics for days. |

I love this woman's expression: "What the fuck is the guy in the hat doing?" (And I also love the one on the first post with the twin-guys walking in opposite directions.) ----------- Bzzzzt. Bzzzzt. Bzzzzt. |

Nice photo of the Flatiron building.
I thought that's what it was, and Googled up some images to confirm, and then after counting windows, stones, etc. I just checked your file name.... |

That's her, the old tripartite prow. I like the response of the Meieresque new building.
And Jack, of course. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears.

Superlatives fail, MOM. The hard-edged urban surface seldom so divinely commemorated.
Thank you. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears.

Holy.
Fucken Crap. Top marks on all counts Mr. Oldman. Excellent work sir. It looks as if a Blueshift may have wandered into your frame on a couple of those shots. Standard issue sidearm or a taser can prevent that from happening again. |

Amazing.
Do you keep your pics online anywhere? You have posted several that I love but can't find them in the archives here. -- I can see clearly now the rain is gone. |

MOM,
Wow... breathtaking... Just hope you have dozens of other "tropital vacations" and similar opportunities for presenting us with your photos. Just hard to say which one I like best... |
