So, I present to you one of my favorite shots (I call a lot of things "my favorite", so feel free to take it with a heaping grain of salt -- an old friend still calls me Mr. Superlative). It's from NYC two years ago, just south of Union Square on Broadway. Just north of where I learned to shoot pool in the early 90's, and just south of where I once watched a humongous cockroach make a beeline toward an ex-girlfriend in a nice restaurant (Union Square Grill) before it had the good sense to turn away before its tiny eardrums were shattered by a deafening shriek. (Hers, not mine, if I really have to spell it out.)
If this photo had a title, I think it'd have to be "I've Got a Bad Feeling About This".

samsmama is traveling, otherwise i'm sure she would have already had something to say about this, but man... umm, i just don't know what to say.
except that i'm craving mexican food based on the el cantinero (?) sign to the bottom, right...?
and, only in NYC.
Yeah, nachos sound good right about now.
And thank you kindly for commenting, MoFM. I'll be you were relieved not to find a new cadaver here.
Speaking of Samsmama, it's a shame Cary called out her blog today when she wasn't around to put up a new post or reply to new commentors.
re: samsmama, definitely a shame! but i'm sure she won't disappoint upon her return. :)
I'm thinkng that about ten minutes into the future, this picture could have been titled:
"Fail".
And possibly featured one of those cadavers MOFM is a fan of.
Yes, a shame I was out of town. He didn't notify me until the morning of or I'd have done something, but was pressed for time as it was. I'll be packing to posting tomorrow. Thanks, peeps!
"Girder through skull" WOULD make for an interesting cadaver. Funny, I never envisioned having a blog where the word "cadaver" came up so much. But...it IS an oddly satisfying word to say. Cadaver. Cadaver. Maybe because it sounds like a magician: Abra Cadaver.
Hopefully your absence didn't prevent newbies from reading through all your previous hilarious posts, SM.
Hi there! first time commenter here.
Love the blog. Stumbled upon you not thanks to Cary's plug on FOLOTD (only because I must have missed that), but thanks to the riproarin' comments you leave on blogs like LOTD, MOFM, and Raising Stink. Figured you were worth a look. And you are. Love the photography -- I'm an amateur myself. Look forward to future posts.
Thanks!
Sorry I hadn't noticed you commented on this post, Rev. Thank you kindly for the compliment, and for coming by for a looksie. I love your work on, and the whole idea of, 365 Photography Project.
WOW! What a major compliment. Thank you for that and for checking out the 365 project. That's awesome. I started it with the intention of doing it solo, and people just kept asking to participate. It's really taken off. Feel free to comment on posts if you'd like. We're always happy to hear outside opinions.
Sorry this whole comment was essentially about my own blog. How selfish of me! =P
