I saw this guy scraping the posters off of his newsstand and pulled over my taxi. I know the torn poster thing has been done for ages, but in 1987 I thought I was onto something new. Then I saw Walker Evans Minstrel Showbill photos taken 50 years earlier…Oh well.

I haven’t been to the auto show in ten years. I’ve owned five cars in my life and they were all large 8 cylinder American cars. Recently I started thinking that if I ever had the money for another ride, it may have to be a Japanese model…Chevrolet has decided to turn the Impala which has been pretty lame into a much better looking car for the 2014 campaign. A tiny 3.6 liter V-6 reaches 303 HP and what can I say? Maybe I will buy American after all…(Prius fever is hard to shake)
It was the right after the final game of the ’91 playoffs and the Bulls were about to win their first of six titles with Michael…I hocked my most sacred possessions to get a first row seat. Watching my Knicks eliminated was a drag but watching Michael was worth it (Sort of) The look on Patrick’s face is priceless as Michael is telling him there will be other years for him to win…There never was a way to get past Michael, and when the knicks finally made it to the finals in ’94, Olajuwon and the Rockets crushed Patrick’s dreams once again. Pat Reilly might have noticed that Johnny Starks was a bit off that night, but that’s another story…

You may wonder how rare a “Coffee Stain Human” is and the answer is, very rare. In twenty five years I’ve only encountered four of them. Do they matter? Do Siskind’s paint splotches matter? Try finding human coffee stains. This one may be the best of all, as he’s a struggling poet, with a cup of coffee in one hand, and his trusty #2 pencil in the other. He’s frantically scribbling haiku before the next rain comes and washes him away…
