Correction.

Excuse me for thinking i found the weirdest person earlier this evening . Because i am pretty sure i have actually found the weirdest person alive .. Please view.

Weirdos United

Alright, ive seen some interesting people on the streets, in the subways, in holes, in trees, in alleys, in the gutter, etc. along the duration of my stay in NYC. This guy tops the charts.i found the weirdest person ... it kind of blew me away when i saw this dude in the 42nd street ace subway station... i was walking from port authority underground to the 1 train last night at like 8 pm . when i heard music from around the corner. theres always this one spot where theres some unusal street entertainment act going on. this one time i saw a 3,4in michael jackson replical doing the moonwalk with a crowd of like 300. im sure he made more in an hour then i even have in a week, haha. anyway. so i look to the spot where the music is coming from . i dont see anything. then im like awWTFFFF wtf is that ...thing . is it a guyyy.. i looked at him for like 3 minutes and i swear to you it didnt make one move. i then read his thing. "Moves for money" .. iwas then pretty sure it wasnt a person in there. lol.... i walked away took a shitty picture and waited . this little kid entered a dollar. and it started moving for like 30 seconds to the 90s computer music that was playing, but its feet remained stationary. .... haha i dunno this is a pretty brilliant idea i think. i i didnt have dollar. but i would have putten in 5 in if i had it hahaha.

Saturday at home.

Saturday at home, not much going on here in warwick *or so i thought (scroll down) , i drove around pine island looking for people to shoot again, either they didnt want to be photographed or they didnt speak english. and the one person i did shoot, thought i worked for the FBI , he was a little bugged out so i didnt really get a good shot. oh well.. **i can not believe that today was mt peters spring rally, and i missed it. spring rally is awesome its a bunch of ridiculous people drinking and eatting and theres a wacky water skiing contest and some ghetto big air. prolly would of gotten hammered drunk and watched a bunch of fails. oh well. i crusied up there real late at like 5 to see if anyone was still around. all i found was the saddest big air jump ever created.

I heard last years winner did a Japan Air.

see ya later

Pine Island

Ive been planning on shooting a project about the interesting people in pine island new york, although im not home to often this will take some time. i got a chance to shoot today here are some results.

waiting

i started shooting my story about the waiting grounds up inbetweenth 11 n 12th aves. i spent a little while up there this afternoon before class shooting. i got a couple portraits. it seems like the busdrivers are so bored that it makes them more then happy to be photographed unless there working under some sort of corporation which doesnt allow it. i dont no. there was some truckers too but everyone was asleep. The bus drivers seem a little more active. i was there later in the afternoon today and it seemed a little dead considering other times i have driven threw the area. anyway here are a few shots from today.

WEEEE

hahah. im still being lazy and havent gone threw photos from yesterday... but im sure this is better.
me andrew maness and nate farrell were in the woods at northstar in tahoe one afternoon and umm the snow didnt pack well i geuss. i dunno didnt ollie high enough or something yeah . i got over first time and fell then this happend. nate did it though

Generally, you will never ever find me hanging outside around campus , i dont no what it is. id rather be somewhere else or something maybe. its sort of seems a little to trendy to me , i dont no if anyone else sees it this way.. but when you take the crowds on 27th street and break them down into groups..... its 9% of the people who actually smoke cigarettes and need to cure there addiciton......then you have the group where i might fall into, you see someone you know. have a few minutes and hang out, or just like to enjoy the nice weather(today).. 11% .. then you have like the majority of the kids here that are outside smoking cigs not even if they like to . just to be trendy and show off there designer bags and like weird other clothing and accesoriieies.. normally you get grilled walking past the crowds. 70% .. then my favorite crowd of all .. look out for them...they are there.. its the local buisness men and associated creeps who love to "take lunch" and sit in front of nagler hall for awhile , just "to eat" though. hmm right. or maybe- hmmm nevermind. 10%..... i guess i may be wrong for judging people... because i never do judge people. its just ive had alot free time to think about this. k ummmm well anyway... i meet up with some kids today and ended up sitting aruond campus for like hours. but it was ssooo nice out . heres a couple photos


UMMMM this guy falls into the 9% of people at FIT who actually MUST smost cigarettes

some of my buds

St Patty Recap

hmmm. Wednesday march 18th. yesterday was st patricks day, i woke up prettttyyyyyy fucking sore. last night i was going to meet up with some kids that were walking down to corner bistro. so i took my skateboard figuring id cacth up with them faster. as i caught up to them . moving pretty fast (ofcourse) i hit a motha fuckin sewer thing and flew off and rolled and hit stuff and ouch. so yeah. but bistro was swell. had a good time, not to much drinking but thats okay.

backtracking a few hours before all this happend, i was anxious to fix the bike since that shit got funky on me yesterday. i took it to chelesea bicycle where i waited a long time to get waited on. in duration of my wait , i couldnt help but to ease drop on a conversation going on with , which seemed to be the owner and two customers being waited on about there bike. (i think they were married) i geuss they were all talking about Photoshop cs3? and it turned it to like the married dude saying he was going to get a macbook pro and he wanted photoshop, then the owner guy trys to tell them. nahh you dont need a new sweet mac laptop... you should buy my toshiba desktop , (which he said he bought in 98 and has never used) because it was in wonderfull working condition. im just like LOL. the deal is hed throw in cs3 for an extra 300 bucks. anyway it got realllyy awkward becasuse this jabrone fucking owner keept telling him , you dnt need a laptop just get a desktop, in the end the wife lady flipped out and started screaming... DAVVIIDDSS GEETTTIINGGG AA MAACCBOOOKKK PRROOOO ANDD THAATTTSS ITTTTT! and they stormed out....

K so by that time my bike was already opened up and being looked at. turns out the bottom bracket slide out because it was loose i think.. I say I THINK... because he tryed to charge me 115 bucks due to "worn threads" on the frame and they "neededd" to be fixed... i checked it out. they looked a little worn but not 115 dollars worn.... i told him no i aint payin and he just put the crank back in and it works again lol. soooo thats about it with that i think ,, but this is where my story starts. the guy put my stuff back together without putting the chain back on the hub. so i needed a wrench to take my tire off. ... to jad bz an johnnys i go. we put the chain back on and just before i left i was pumping my tires. and bzs tire pump doesnt like me and i ripped the valve otu of the goddamned tube.

i had a tube from jads flat last week in my place. so i went and got it along with some beers. and this is what went down..


Not sure this was the greatest idea in the world.




Drinks




Eats






Jad your skins hanging off your bones.. Do you need more sugar?




i swear its usually not that hard to change a tire. im not kididng.


finally pumped her up



HAND OFFFF


This is where it got tricky...... This frame is real old and the tires on it where made like after the frame was . so they dont fit properly . it took three people to pry the fork wide enough and put the tire back in.
MEH
Do you have any stains?




So . after all this is said and done... i woke up this morning.... with a flat tire. SICK

afternoon

I took a pretty sick nap today. although it may have been a little to long i woke up soooo tired. . but anyway it was overcast again today. but bright. and ive been shooting alot in these conditions recently so i wanted to take it over the west highway bikepath again today. ive been planning to shoot some stuff in the 30-34street inbetween 11th n 12th ave area . theres like allootttt of tractor trailers that just sit on the streets and theres no buildings its pretty sweet. i havent started yet but i would like to shoot some tractor trailer driver portraits , so today im mobbing down 33th street inbetween the parked trucks looking for drivers to take pictures of, and i see this cat sitting in the drivers seat of a truck. it seemed really bizarre to me lol so i took a picture of it .

lol O Haiii.
