Just a little point-and-shoot Sony DSC-T1 using the manual settings. I would have a lot more good pictures if the damn thing had a tripod mount.

There are a few more photos that I haven't post-processed yet, but I'll get 'em up sometime. I guess I'll also make a NYC thread, 'cause I have a bunch of photos from here.

Word to the money. That place is fucking expensive. New York City is nothing compared to London. I forget the name of the pub with the old dude, but it's near Trafalgar square. Kinda touristy, but whatever.

http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/powerplays/archives/002583.php Suit Tags Anti-Graffiti Law By Jarrett Murphy | April 24, 2006 You've got to fight for your right to party—or at least to possess spray paint or a permanent marker—and so designer Mark Ecko is suing Mayor Bloomberg, the city, and his old nemesis Queens Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr., in federal court. The claim is that Vallone's 2005 anti-graffiti bill violates the First Amendment by barring the sale of "an aerosol spray paint can, broad tipped indelible marker or etching acid to any person under twenty-one years of age," and preventing people under 21 from possessing those items "on the property of another or in any public building or upon any public facility." Mayor Bloomberg signed the measure into law late last year along with two other measures aimed at graffiti, part of a citywide crackdown on illegal defacement that includes an NYPD reward offer of $500 "for the arrest and conviction of anyone who commits graffiti vandalism." The Ecko plantiffs are seven young artists, and their lawyer is Daniel Perez, Ron Kuby's law partner, who also represents several animal rights activists in a suit against the NYPD. The New York Civil Liberties Union says it backs the litigation. While the NYCLU stresses that it "offers no brief in support of illegal graffiti," the union says the Vallone law "sweeps far too broadly," and revs up the What-If machine: . . . imagine if, during the days when seditious libel was regarded as unprotected expression, the government, in order to deter seditious publications, made possession of a printing press unlawfulunless the possessor of the printing press could affirmatively prove at trial that the printing device would be used for a lawful purpose. Or suppose that in an effort to deter the creation of constitutionally unprotected pornography, the government were to make the possession of a video camera unlawful unless the possessor of the camera could, affirmatively prove, in response to a criminal prosecution, that the camera would be used for a lawful purpose. We would commonly recognize such government over-reaching as constitutionally impermissible. As chairman of the public safety committee, and a possible contender for Queens District Attorney at some future date, the chance to wage a law-and-order fight against Ecko and other graffiti artists isn't bad news for Vallone. Nor is this federal lawsuit the first round. Ecko and the councilman clashed last summer over the permit for a graffiti-themed street fair. Then a graffiti artist known as Cope2 left profane phone messages for Vallone, posing the tough questions, like "What is your fucking problem, bro?" In a statement Monday, Vallone said, "This isn't about student art projects, this is about corporate profits. The sole purpose of the lawsuit is to promote his video game, which teaches kids to commit a crime." He contends that his law "strikes a balance between first amendment rights and the public's right to keep their property free of graffiti."

Curmudgeon : a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man The fisheye thing is understandable, but it's not lens distortion: the walls are actually curved outward. Part of the whole "tube" thing.

My brother is badass. I love pretentious modern art. I am badass, too. Near the salvador dali museum on the river. Completely random, yet awesome. At the British museum and library.

The undergound rules. I like escalators. A lot. Mmm. food. Lean with it, rock with it. Some guy walking by told me that this building is MI5, one of the British intelligence services. I'm not sure if I believe him. This sign is awesome, as is the fact that it says TIT in the bottom corner of this photo. The best part about this photo is that it was taken on Jermyn street, which is where you go for super high quality bespoke men's shirts. The english aren't kidding about their fences. Curmudgeons are jawsome.

Ladytron - The Witching Hour the new madonna is all kinds of awesome.

I'm a total slut for 70s Yves Saint Laurent from the thrift store.

All these beatdown videos are making me reconsider my support for gun control. That last one looks like they just decided to beat up that one tool in every neighborhood who really wants to be down with the in crowd but has no concept of social graces for no reason.

Proving that white people can be just as stupid as black people.

You suck at graffiti. Seriously. Fifteen thousand retarded extensions cannot cover up your horribly shaped letters.

Looks like you're in the right thread, quasi
