My Samsung 64” DLP television has been making a loud screeching noise for the longest time. My solution was to simply turn up the volume to drown out the noise. I did some research on the web and found numerous instances of the same problem being caused by the color wheel. Its nice to be able to watch TV at a normal volume again.
The poor mans kind… I stumbled upon this convex mirror, which reminded me of a fisheye lens.
I found 3 front bicycle wheels chained to scaffolding. No frame, no rear wheels, just the front. Why and why 3? I went back a few hours later but nothing had changed.
The streets of NYC are predominately one-way with streets running east-west and avenues running north-south. 42nd Street is a main cross-town though fare and one of the few 2-way streets. 3rd Ave is 5 lanes of traffic traveling north. I’m leaving work and car 2478 is speeding east on 42nd St with lights and sirens. The cop reaches 3rd Ave and attempts to turn right, directly into the head-on traffic. Realizing this is a potentially fatal mistake he slams on the breaks and they jump out and run down 3rd Ave. The odd thing about this entire situation is that no one even flinches, traffic attempts to keep moving, pedestrians play dodge the taxis, and weave around the cars in the crosswalk. Me, I whip my camera out of my backpack to capture today’s post, then head to the subway.
Talent just runs in the family... Afternoon sunlight flowing in through the skylights.
This is the HQ of the leading tabloid. There was a truck in front of the building, preventing me from capturing the entrance and stonework, so I settled for looking up….
From this angle he’s almost frightening.
