Williamsburg Photo Du Jour: Season’s Greetings From North 8 Street

Filed under: 11211, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn, Wow, WTF

As captured today, December 6th, 2012. New York Shitty analysis:

If Santa tries to park his sleigh here, I’m prognosticating it will get towed. Or worse.
God help the man if he dares to venture down this home’s chimney. I’m guessing he’ll be greeted by this residence’s Rottweiler. Among other things.

Conclusion: This is my kind of holiday spirit! Ho! Ho! Ho!

P.S.: To truly savor everything that is going on here (and there’s quite a lot), do take a moment to view this image in larger format. You will not be disappointed!

New York Shitty Photo Du Jour: Live From McCarren Park

Today, despite the bracing weather, yours truly went for a sojourn around points north Brooklyn. The purpose of these peregrinations was two-fold:

Simply to get out of the house
To fulfill a request from a reader

The latter required I go to the park called McCarren. Anyhoo, after I did what I needed to do I happened across the above fellow (?). He was feverishly engaged in collecting material for (what I presume to be) his “mancave”. As you can see this includes a used bit of (what I hope to be) facial tissue, some leaves and a stick he sported like a staff. All in all, it was very entertaining. So much so I had to film him in action. Enjoy!

Hi, Heather!

…I’m an artist who made Brooklyn Makes and The Newtown Creek Armada and I believe we’ve met around the neighborhood.

I wanted to invite you to come by the new space I founded with Mary Jeys and Laura Chipley. Dobbin Project Space is a creative work and event space for artists, curators and programmers producing socially-engaged art and media. We’re having an event this Saturday, a Holiday Party Shoppe, with vendor fair and bake sale featuring Oslo coffee. Here is a link to our FB invite:

Done!
