“broken windows” theory of urban decay - holds that if a single window is left unrepaired in a building, in fairly short order, the remaining windows in the building will be broken. Fixing windows as soon as they are broken sends a message: that vandalism will not be tolerated. But not fixing windows also sends a message: that vandalism is acceptable. Worse, once a problem such as vandalism starts, if left unchecked, it flourishes.
This building is two blocks from the Rutgers Newark campus, and I passed it every day on my way to the train station, on my bike. I usually listen to my Ipod while doing so.
This day, I had the camera with me, and after taking this picture, I rode to the base of the building, to take an upward shot of the broken facade. I wanted that because just three days ago somebody had been threatened with a knife and robbed there, in the afternoon, and the building thus seems to illustrate the broken windows theory rather nicely.
I stopped my bike, raised the camera, but in that moment the battery died. After a moment of confusion because of that, I lowered the camera and notices somebody coming for me straight across the street. He stopped about a meter away from me, while I stuffed the camera as quickly and steadily as I could into my backpack. He said something. I took out the earphone and asked him to repeat it.
"Do you have a cellphone I can pay you to use", he said, "it's an emergency". While saying that he put his left hand in the pocket of his pants. No, I said, I do not have a cellphone, and rode off, past the payphone on the other side of the street.
Welcome to Newark, fool, I guess is what that tells me.
No this is not a balloon. I broke my right foot several days before this, As you can see it is still swollen and brused. I had a fracture and a crack in the side by my big toe. This will teach me to stand on a swivel chair and try to hang a picture... LOL
In a broken city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) seeks redemption and revenge after being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure, the mayor (Russell Crowe). Billy's relentless pursuit of justice, matched only by his streetwise toughness, makes him an unstoppable force - and the mayor's worst nightmare.
Had a beautiful weekend in M. with my two best friends M en H.
After a long walk through the quiet but interesting city we faced this scene of things gone bad...
A tin full of broken watches and straps,bits and bobs, but not one is ticking :-(
I should really chuck them out but you never know if you will one day need a part..

My bike ride was cut short this evening. So I busted out the 55mm Micro f2.8 and played around with my broken bike chain.
These are just 600mg Ibuprofens. I was prescribed them because I get really bad headaches. I spilled them all over the floor, and I decided to set it up to look like a broken heart. I love the shadows. :]

..i finally found some free time to kill..still experimenting in new shapes and forms..this one for my good friend "BROKEN SYNTHS"..check him.
The broken pieces allow me to see more. The way that I used to look at things is starting to be broken. I am seeing more, pausing more and focusing more attention on what I look at.
