A group of friends are amused to see a street musician walking up to them to play his instrument on a weekend evening at downtown market square in Knoxville, Tennessee.

I have provided translations if you hove over them ..
These were put up by the Berlin daily Die Tageszeitung after Kai Sues and lost when they claimed that he had sought an operation to use parts of corpses to enlarge his allegedly extremely small penis. There has always been arch rivalry between the papers, and this shows just how far the feeling goes against kai.
My daughter's Halloween baking.
Using a Ziploc bag with a tiny hole cut in one corner, my daughter iced pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies into amusing and charming designs - perfect for Halloween and very tasty.

The girl in the tiara seems less than amused as she watches a "Washing Well Wenches" skit at King Richard's Faire in Carver, Massachusetts.
Green apple & wasabi dip n' dots with eel in cucumber-melon water.
Notes: The green apple-wasabi combination I had encountered, in frozen form no less, nearly a year before at the now closed 1 star Michelin Bon Lloc in Stockholm, Sweden. How interesting that this pairing has made it's way around the world to greet me again in Shanghai!
The eel was the really confusing element in this amuse. I can't say that it worked, and I can't say that it failed. Certainly the buttery avocado fit - it's clean flavors complimented the crisp freshness of the cucumber-melon water and the lucid green apple-wasabi dots. I think I'm used to eel served in full-flavored preparations (no doubt to cover eel's often muddy-tasting flesh), like glazed with teriyaki (Japanese) or smoked (northern Europe). Here, the cooked seems to be naked. The other oddity is that in Japanese cuisine, eel is usually served cooked and therefore not taken with wasabi - as it is here. While I'm always enthusiastic for new ways of approaching and eating food, I think what failed to grab me about the eel in this dish is that it ended up disappearing - texturally cloaked by the more compelling firm cubes of luscious avocado and flavorfully masked by the bright lucid green apple and wasabi.
The cucumber-melon water was also slightly sweet and tangy - perhaps sherry vinegar?
Thu Tran of Food Party dances with the crowd during Bad Brilliance's performance. Most people were watching Bad Brilliance, but I was watching Thu Tran, as we're huge Food Party fans!!
After the abstract video and Thu Tran's Food Party shorts, Bad Brilliance performed. They were... interesting. And different. And entertaining. The balloon head was quite amusing, as was the girl in panties, who didn't come on at first. Then the Balloon Head singer deliberately sat on the balloon, ceremoniously popping his own head at the climax of the performance. More stuff crossed off from my "list of stuff I never thought I'd see".

Had the unbelievable opportunity to shoot this gorgeous Amuse widebody s2000 while I was in SF for Wekfest. No one has ever shot this car before so it was awesome to get the privilege to do so. Thanks to Kaan for bringing out this piece of art. Big thanks to Jeremy and Brad for helping me on this one and Jason for showing us an awesome location.

In the meantime you can listen to this:
Before our hastily-arranged two days trip to New York last winter, I asked a friend about the traffic and where to park. He opened Google Maps and pin-pointed all the cheeky little spaces where you park for free (and be assured that your car won't be disappeared when you
come back); and then suddenly stopped and said, "Forget the car. You must take the subway to experience the real NYC."
So I did. On the next two cold, rain-drenched days, we left our car on Staten Island and took the ferry and then the subway to explore the city. And as my friend said, it was as if you were experiencing a miniature version of NYC itself inside the rusted, dirty, crowded labyrinth of the subway system. It was a melting pot that didn't melt. A large collection of people of all colors, age and race, coming from all the corners of the world, using all the languages other than may be English.
So if you ever get a chance to visit the exhilarating metropolis, do yourself a favor and take the subway. Take a seat, take off the headphones, look around, and you'll see polished fashionistas riding to work, eleven years old Senegalese immigrant selling gummy bears, six-feet tall homeless man reminding everyone of good karma and asking for help, and someone with a acoustic guitar jumping into the car and start singing Strawberry Fields Forever. You can spot people feeling nonchalant, cordial, somber, delighted, depressed, amused, curious, exhausted, swag, numb, reminiscing, exploring, irritated, forever-alone, suspicious, festive, melodious, and global, like a true New Yorker.
