IMG_7506, originally uploaded by a. graham. I’ve got a loaner camera from Nikon after having done a podcast with the folks there on food photography. It’s been a good camera so far, though I think I still need to get used to its features before I can get some really amazing photos out of it. [...]
Silver Jews, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, September 6th, 2008, originally uploaded by craneboy. Earlier this month I went with my friend Justin to see the Silver Jews play. I didn’t realize until we got there that this was a pretty big deal, since this is like maybe the second time Jew-in-chief David [...]
I would find this headline from the Times funny if the news behind it weren’t so terrifying. As if any reassurances from Bush are worth a hill of beans. I think a Times copy editor was employing some dry gallows humor here.
Jake Dobkin asked on Twitter: Where were you? Because I wanted to elaborate on my 140-word answer, I’ll give a little more. I was on the R train from Bay Ridge, heading in to work at Martha Stewart Living. I was already late—I realized last-minute that I had to iron my pants before leaving. Everything [...]

In a world where Don LaFontaine no longer lives, our moviegoing experience is a little poorer. The voiceover master died this morning due to complications from a collapsed lung. Says the Hollywood Reporter: Before his death, he had provided voiceovers for an estimated 5,000 movie trailers, including “Batman Returns,” “The Terminator,” “Cast Away,” “The Elephant [...]
We lost our first and second games but clobbered the team we played in the third game. I rolled in Games 2 and 3. Game 2 opponents were The Gutterfingers. Also a pun involving the butter/gutter thing. And they’re a nice team, too. They were fun to bowl against. I rolled a 103. Not horrible, [...]
I have a rule. If I don’t know you and you favorite one of my Flickr pix and don’t have any photos available publicly yourself, I BLOCK YOUR ASS. Especially if you have no profile info filled out and/or no contacts. I don’t think it’s in the spirit of the Flickr community. And more important, [...]
