From the page: "Have already visited Schenley Plaza twice since its opening last weekend. I'm still a little nervous about whether will people will take to it or not. The grass is lush. The food stands have decent hoagies. The carousel is delightful because of the strange statuary rides -- my favorite is the rabbit, the weird, Edwardian rabbit. We also saw Zany Umbrella Circus, fewer acrobatics in the current show, which I didn't miss. The circus has a great grasp of certain unconscious resonances, in this case a kind of gypsy, shtetl, East European-ness that's evocative but doesn't get in the way of the circus-y stuff and the narrative-y stuff."

From the page: "Happy June 23, 2006!

That's all.

Nothing special. Just wishing you a Happy June 23, 2006.

Only one of those we'll get, you know.

Now, shoo shoo. Go celebrate."

From the page: "I have a degree in chemistry (no really, I do!), so I know a little bit about the scientific collection of data. ABC%u2019s sampling method of %u201Csend in what you think could have been caused by global warming%u201D is anything but scientific. A photo of a guy in Phoenix standing next to his back yard thermometer reading 120 degrees F doesn%u2019t prove global warming; it proves that he took a picture of himself next to a thermometer on a hot day. Either that or his thermometer is broken. "

From the page: "Do you ever come to the point sometimes when you are designing and the design is just simply not working so you begin to wonder why you are even a designer or could even claim to be one? This used to happen to me, but then I just surf the web and see somebody else%u2019s ugly site and am instantly reinspired to push forward."

That's so true.

I may be a "poor backwards bastard" but I still enjoy this blog.

Lovely urban photographs from Greece.

This photoblog focuses on architectural photographs, contrasting modern buildings with abandoned buildings.
