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
I saw this graffiti in Madrid, accompanied by the message “Painting is Obsession.” As an artist, I agree with this sentiment! 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.

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
The recent death of OJ Simpson from cancer on April 10th brought back some memories of when I lived in New York City. The picture above was taken back in the mid-1990s on Avenue A in NYC – around the same time that OJ Simpson was on trial for the murder of his wife, Nicole … Read more
I’m walking down the street and see this blue car from the back; where’s the front? Walking a full circle around it reveals it to be a Snyder three wheel car. More specifically, a 2012 Synder ST600-C, and it is available for sale (price not listed, just a “for sale” sign with phone number in … Read more
