If you ever wanted to let the ESDC know what you thought about Atlantic Yards, today is probably your last opportunity to comment on the record.

The public comment period ends today at 5:30 pm.

You can go here for the official ESDC comment instructions, but I suggest using the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods‘ public commenting tools and sending them a copy of your comments.

by popular demand, some of my photos can now be printed and shipped directly to you via my gallery on SmugMug. i’ve added a link to the gallery in the sidebar on the right side of this page.

i’ve had a few test prints made using each of the different types of available finishes (glossy, luster and matte), and i’m impressed with the quality on all of them. however, i’d say that my favorite is the matte finish. i’m not fond of glossy paper due to reflections and how easily fingerprints are seen on its surface.

at this point, i’ve only made a handful available from my Atlantic Yards work, but will be adding many more in the very near future.

got this link from a friend. i wished i had seen it before i added my mug to facebook. but, i suspect that Big Brother already knows where to find me if they really want me.

[ the weird thing about this video is that they call it "the facebook". am i out of touch, or is that like saying "the internets"? ]

my first encounter with Adrian (BIB blogger) was a random meeting on the corner of carlton avenue and dean street, while we were both out taking photos of the footprint of the proposed Atlantic Yards development. we’d known of each other via “the internets”, but had never met face-to-face. he’s a nice chap. someone should interview him someday. i’m betting he has more than a few interesting tales to tell.

the new york times does their thing on mondays, i think. (can’t remember exactly since i cancelled my subscription).

i stumbled across the website overheard in new york and can’t stop reading. one of my favorites from this site so far:

Blond Tourist Bimbo: I’ve never even heard of the G Train.
Blond Local Bimbo: Yeah, it’s a ghetto train.
Blond Tourist Bimbo: Where does it go?
Blond Local Bimbo: Nowhere.
Black eight-year-old boy: Except my home, bitch.

–G train Hoyt/Schermerhorn station

the best that i’ve heard first hand, while walking the the Fulton Mall in Brooklyn:

30′s man on cellphone: IT’S YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN BIRTHDAY, BITCH!!

and, no, i’m absolutely positive that he doesn’t kiss his mother with that mouth.
