I’m heading out to Santa Fe to take care of some family business, and in preparation of doing so, have been looking back at some old pictures from previous trips there. Today’s collection comes from a trip in 2014, and includes some street photography taken at that time. This sign featuring colorful tiles at the … Read more
I was strolling down Calle Gran Via in Madrid last October, checking out what is known as “Spanish Broadway,” in the sense of it being the Madrid counterpart to New York City’s Broadway. This stretch of street is a prime shopping areas, with a large number of hotels, high end stores, and various other shops. … Read more
Unfortunately, I cannot say that I ever had a chance to try any gelato at Eccolo Gelato in Madrid, as they were always closed when I walked by, but they certainly had great street art on their pull-down metal shutter gates. I think I am often like this boy, above; daydreaming about a good scoop … Read more
I was running an errand in Upper Montclair when I passed by this house. I’ve been seeing little library structures outside of homes for years, but this one impressed me as it’s a very accurate copy of the actual home, down to the side porch and blue front door. As long as I’ve seen these … Read more
I’ve seen plenty of Tesla Cybertrucks, and have to admit, I like the look of them. But as I was out and about on an errand, I did a double-take when I saw this Tesla Cybertruck, as it had a custom paint job to advertise the Future Remodeling company. It’s a pretty striking design, especially … Read more

It’s hard to know if this message was written by the graffiti artist who painted the tag below it, but considering the abstract expressionist nature of the graffiti, I like them paired together for … Read more
I’m using a public restroom in Mystic, CT, and see the face of a bearded man under the Sloan flush button. I know, this sounds creepy, but it’s really just a case of pareidolia creeping in again. Do you see the face in the image above? Perhaps not, so I’ll help to illustrate it. Here’s … Read more
I was on a day trip, exploring Beacon, NY, when I noticed this funny sign in the front window of the Beacon Library. It reads: “Dinosaurs Didn’t Read and now They’re Extinct. Coincidence?” A pretty funny idea from the local librarian to use some humor to get people inside their doors. The idea of a … Read more
On my travels walking around Pittsburgh, I noticed some brown pods laying in the street, and while I’ve seen these things before, I didn’t know what they were called or what they were from. A little research tells me that they’re “honey locust pods.” The honey locust tree (scientific name “gleditsia triacanthos”), is a deciduous … Read more
I was walking around the Lower East Side in New York City the other day, when I suddenly noticed Patrick Ewing’s knees behind a partially shuttered storefront. It appeared to be a life-sized cutout of the Knicks legend, but all one could see was his numbered shorts, legs, and kneepads. Even though he retired from … Read more
