Construction at World Financial Center, circa 1984
I believe this would have been the North Pedestrian Bridge at West Street (?)
Shot in 4x5 and printed 16x20 for college work around 1984.
Apologies for the uncertainty in location; I never really paid attention to where I was once I got excited for a good shot, and it's been more than forty years...

East River Generating Plant, Manhattan
This was for college photography in the early 1980s. I would load my car with school equipment and just drive down from upstate, with no idea how to navigate Manhattan or even where to go. I'd set up wherever I saw an opportunity; things were more lax back then.
This was shot in 4x5, yielding a nice 16x20 print on Portriga Rapid. On the original print, details as fine as the street sign are nice & sharp.

How many of us wrestled with one of these?
I wasn't allowed to pour my own milk for years until Mom switched to the 1/2 gallon cartons.
EDIT: This is a full gallon, not the dinky half-pint!

Christmas Seals, tax stamps, and other ephemera
One of my late father's albums is dedicated to "stamp-like" specimens: Easter Seals, margarine stamps, Christmas Seals, etc, mainly from the US but many from The Philippines, Denmark, and other countries. They date to the 1940s.
I'm hanging on to it, but I'm curious if this is noteworthy in the community...the photo shows a typical set of two pages. Thanks!
Subtle foreshadowings
There is so much “ordinary detail” in BB/BCS that it’s easy to overlook casual actions or remarks that have repercussions later. Here’s an example:
s2e5 “Breakage” - Walt tells Jesse that Tuco would “break the skull of anyone who tried to rip him off” after Skinny Pete got suckered by Spooge and The Skank
s2e6 “Peekaboo” - Jesse goes to handle the Spooge & Skank situation, and witnesses the skull of Spooge being broken in the next episode
What other, seemingly “throwaway”, comments or actions return as an echo in later episodes?
I’m sure this may have been noticed before (sorry)...when I realize things like this, it makes me want to look forward to the next full rewatch of BB and BCS. Edited to add paragraph returns and a comma
Lyn Faber - Telepathy [Prog Mashup] [c1990, 2004]
Telepathy provides an excellent source of media overload, and was first kicked oldskool around 1990 on a Fostex X-30 multitrack cassette recorder, with sampling done through a Casio SK-5, and drums programmed on a Yamaha RY-10.
About ten years later, the video was assembled on an iMac DVD-SE running Avid Videoshop.The video clips were scaffed off a CD-based collection of copyright-free TV outtakes.
Musically, the bed sample is from “Tarkus” by Emerson Lake & Palmer. The audio narration samples are from Star Trek "The Menagerie", and an old film on paranormal phenomena, "Exploring The Unknown", so individual copyrights are the properties of their respective owners.
