Mies LOVES his new bed! Picked up free on the street in Seattle. Queen Anne on the corner of 3rd Ave W and Crockett. Under the big round cushion is a mini-trampoline. Imagine that! The Weims don't know it yet, though. I can't have a couple of bouncing Weims all over the place....
More playing around with the camera settings and processing
They were in the back yard & got busted digging for a mole! Neither were happy about having to come in the house & theproof they were being naughty is right there on their noses!
No, it's not Fred Radtke. This is in the Bronx. I love the term "gray ghost" for buffed grafitti. Catherine mentioned to me that there is this guy, Fred Radtke, who buffs grafitti with a vengeance in New Orleans, slopping gray paint over any piece he'd see, even if it's on someone's house, fence, even completely covering stop street signs with gray paint! Even people who don't like grafitti in NOLA are supposedly pissed at him. At least the graf writers are trying to make an art form of sorts, adding to a city that has had so much taken away. Radtke is covering the city with grey blobs! But oddly enough, I've been attracted to these grey blobs in NY for years. There's this one underpass I walked through one night that had so many buffs from so many different times that it became this mess of abstraction. Unintentional modernist art! I was floored.
Instead of removing this "DEFEND NEW ORLEANS" sticker, The newly appointed GRAY GANGSTA (the former grey ghost) painted over it on a wrought iron gate. Now, the single woman who takes care of this property has a grey outline where the sticker used to be. Fred, let's sit down and talk about this. Let's negotiate the finer points of logic. The Defend New Orleans guys aren't gangsters, they're businessmen. They're not street people, they advertise and hold parties. Work with those of us who love the city, not against us.
I love the look on this guys face. He allowed me to walk up to his tree, keeping his eye on me from a long ways back. Yes Gary, this is my pet. I love the Gray Ghost.
