Yes, my Starbucks is in the lobby of the Empire State Building. My barista is named Alex and he is adorable and shy. Occasionally he draws smiley faces on my cups or writes little notes on them telling me enjoy my day or that I have a nice smile.

I enjoy him.

It's feels good to hear nice things.

This little bugger just explored my computer. After a short photo session, he's now safe outside again...

Again, another view on my favorite sculpture. This time, I played a bit with curves in Photoshop.

Another shot of these mini mushrooms (a few millimeters high). They grow on the side of a tree (I rotated the picture 90°).

I think they almost look like some extraterrestrial trees...

Day 35: "Hey, Boo." by chasing parades

Day 65: Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burned by chasing parades

What the fuck was I thinking?

I'm developing my sense of humor until I can laugh at my heart between your teeth, until I can laugh at my face beneath your feet.

I'm having some trouble just breathing. If we weren't such good friends I think that I'd hate you. If we weren't such good friends I'd wish you were dead.

The bow of a house by Volker Wurst

When I was standing just in front of this building, looking up, I somehow had the impression of seeing the bow of a big ocean liner (think "Titanic"). Although the chance is rather slim that an iceberg will bring this construction down...

Day 23: Can you feel my kisses on your hips? by chasing parades

I see you bite your bottom lip...

I almost hear you catch your breath...

I’m on a fire escape where you said to wait...

And I did...

I heard the cold wind say 'You’re a fool to stay,' but I did...

You’re not my home...

tiger rescue mission, part 2 by Volker Wurst

10 8

While playing (i.e. chasing each other), one of the tiger cubs fell into the water. The others obviously tried to pull him out of the water, but he was able to get out on his own (as you can see, he's standing in the water on a small ledge, so he could jump out of the water)

See here for the beginning of the story. Continue here to part 3.

I found this inscription ('Atelier' is german for studio) over the entrance to the old photo studio.

As a reverence to the old times, I played a bit with it in photoshop to make it look older...

Day 38: I want a perfect body; I want a perfect soul by chasing parades

This young man was disgruntled with my David Beckham day and brought me some chocolates with this note...and his picture.

It looks more like a ransom note with a mugshot than a pleasantry.

Nevertheless, the chocolate was delicious.

It's been awhile since I visited downtown. Yesterday, I had to bring my main computer to service (I edited this picture on my 6 year old notebook...). To get at least something positive from the trip, I took my camera with me and snapped some more photos of the glass cube. This time including a sculpture on the backside.
