This China?
Man the stuff that goes on over there.....imagine if this was NYC.....couple falling out of a window during sex.......binding for life? Is there divorce in the universe? Speaking of "be careful what you wish for" (Pussycat Dolls) I found this sign in Riverdale.....

Dave Insurgent
Nee (hard to find the accent as it is a French word.....maybe a little flowery to describe this guy) David Rubinstein.....from one of the birthplaces of American Punk, Forest Hills, Queens, NY. His band was Reagan Youth and had done pretty well for an underground.....they played constantly. These days were before Facebook or Twitter so to publicize their shows bands created flyers and posters. Also word of mouth.....Dave was not a saint was not terribly pleasant.....from what I heard. ? Who knows. His girlfriend was Tiffany Bresciani, a dancer from Louisiana who sadly fell victim to heroin addiction along with him. She got into a car with Joel Rifkin, telling Dave she would return in 20 minutes. She never came back. Shortly .....a few days or so later.....her body was found in Rifkin's truck. Dave committed suicide a little later. Anyway. His birthday would be today. One hell of a story.......his.....

Dreams
At my old place in JC.....it was fucked up but it was shelter for a while .....I wish things had happened differently. I am sorry they were what they were. If I could fix it I would. I had a dream there once I was dancing in a studio.....there was a mirror in front of me. I saw a man staring at me on the mirror.....like he was behind me. But I looked behind and there was no one there......sometimes it is little bizarre snaps like that that make me shudder. Was this person a ghoat or something I imagined.....
I don't believe everything I read and I know there are smoke and mirrors but there is so much I don't know only what I see and its fragments of this and that.......truth and real answers about anything are a rarity. There are those who have risked their lives and others who lost theirs to give people the truth. Without them we wouldn't know we'd be forever guessing.....

full of odds and ends from a different era.
People always say "it's different now" or "it was better then." Maybe they/we/whoever are only remembering the good and not the bad. I remember the better things before the not-so-good things. myself. But there's something for every time. so carpe diem. You miss it, it's gone. I learned that much.

1970s teens
Two girls Brooklyn ca. 1974 by Danny Lyon Bushwick in the then 1974 (amazing site and more on the photograper!)
B and W photo Jill Freedman
Blonde is Martha Moxley, murder victim
I love looking at ..... I hate to say "old" at one time they were "new" but ......photos from the past. And in general. Not slicked up airbrushed ones but those that show the real people and settings. That's what inspired me to take a bunch of pictures today......and the documentary on Jodi Arias I watched where she talks about photography. So true. I enjoy being behind the camera .....being in front has its moments but it's very jarring too.
"I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same"
Lyrics by David Bowie
