“Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.”
From the 2001 movie "Donnie Darko"
Kitty Farmer, a character portrayed by Beth Grant delivers this humorous and absurd line, as she directs the young dancers in the film. While it may seem comical on the surface, this quote reflects the film’s commentary on conformity and the absurdity of societal expectations.
Kitty’s obsession with “Sparkle Motion” represents a shallow pursuit of perfection and conformity. The line serves as a satirical critique of the pressure to conform to societal norms, even in seemingly trivial matters like dance routines. It highlights the absurdity of placing unwavering commitment to conformity above genuine individuality.

In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.
Nothing yet with this one, though it's merely a matter of time now

INSPIRATION
The siren was created by Terry Heckler, a corporate artist and creative partner of Starbucks founder Gordon Bowker. Heckler was inspired by a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed siren. The siren's hair is similar to ocean waves, a reference to Seattle's (in the U.S. State of Washington) proximity to the sea.
MEANING
The siren is a metaphor for the siren song of coffee, luring people to the brand. The siren's mythical and mysterious appeal is intended to convey the idea that Starbucks seduces coffee lovers. From European myths and alchemy, her two tails represent dualities, such as earth and water, or body and soul
DESIGN
The siren has been updated over the years, but the siren remains at its core. The latest design includes asymmetry, such as a dipped nose on the right side of the siren's face. This was done to avoid making the siren look too perfect.

In the background sits Rise, luxury condos, where the high-end Butterfield Market will soon occupy its ground floor. In the foreground sits the previous Quality Inn, now a shelter for homeless men since the pandemic. On the far left corner, not shown, at 29th St/40th Ave, sits Verve, a hotel for homeless women. And one block south sits the former Fairfield Inn & Suites at 29-27 40th Rd, which houses formerly incarcerated individuals who are trying to make a fresh start. And sprinkled between all of that are either new buildings or construction sites for luxury rentals or condos.
I'm curious to see how this dynamic plays out

This building houses the offices of the Social Security Administration and makes up half of the Alma Corporate Plaza which is comprised of two large office buildings in the neighborhood of Dutch Kills, Queens. Both buildings are quite spacious and I can totally see Alma (which is actually a real estate company) selling each of these properties off to developers. Another wait and see. One of many

I find it so interesting when there's an empty lot of land during a NYC spring/summer, as plant life takes root immediately. In this photo, those are very tall sunflower plants

One of the nicest things about my job is the ability to work to/fro my place of employment each day. And rain or shine, I walk and love it! Along my walks I certainly see a lot of strange people and things. The "regular commuters" are apparently the one's in the cars, on the buses and subways, though us walkers, we are certainly having much more fun

In the mid-1980's I had attended photography school in this red bricked corner mansion, which stands at 94th Street and Fifth Avenue, directly across from Central Park in New York City. Isn't that wild. From the early 1970's thru until the late 1990's, The International Center of Photography (ICP) had its founding location, museum and school situated in the Willard D. Straight house, a mansion built along NYC's famed museum mile
I had enrolled at ICP to study the art & science of black and white film photography

This afternoon I came upon this cup rolling back and forth on a sidewalk nearby my office and I just stopped and watched it for awhile. It reminded me of the plastic bag video from the movie "American Beauty", and I just felt compelled to video-tape it
