As I mentioned in my last post, I was walking around my Centro Historico neighborhood in Mexico City after picking up some early morning coffee. Since it was relatively early, a lot of the local storefront businesses weren’t open yet, and therefore had their security gates still down from the night. From what I was … Read more
On my last visit to Santa Fe, I was driving through a residential neighborhood when I spotted these white abstract sculptures in someone’s front yard. I found them so striking and unusual that I decided to pull over and walk back for a closer look. The street is Old Santa Fe Trail, near the intersection … Read more
I visited Pittsburgh for the first time as a tag-along on a business trip that my girlfriend had for a client meeting. We were staying at the Wyndham Grand Downtown, and had a decent view from a high floor room. I was looking over the area from our room’s picture window when I noticed this … Read more
I found a couple pictures that I took on a visit to the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn many years ago (2013, in fact). There is so much street art in Bushwick that I took tons of photos on that visit, so the fact that I’m pulling something from 12 years ago is just the result … Read more
I was walking through Tribeca in NYC the other day when I noticed this bright orange box on the sidewalk. It grabbed my attention, with the color serving as a stark contrast to all of the gray around it. I like this image as a photograph in its own artistic way, but then my imagination … Read more

No sooner had Halloween passed, with all of the front yard inflatables that I shared only 2 days ago, and the next holiday inflatables quickly took their place! No joke, Thanksgiving inflatables are taking over the neighborhood already! I really do think Belleville NJ is the king of holiday inflatables! Maybe it’s just me, but … Read more
I’ve often joked that Belleville, NJ is the holiday inflatible capital of the state. Every holiday is included and the inflatables come out – even for unexpected ones like Easter or Valentines Day. Well, it’s Halloween, and this week is no different. A simple half hour walk around Belleville revealed this collection of Halloween inflatables. … Read more
While I got sick during my trip to Mexico, I was able to get out and walk around a little bit each of the days I was sick … and while wandering the streets of Roma Norte, I saw this home with what I might describe as “racing stripes.” I mean, who thinks to paint … Read more
