Ce La Vie...

Really enjoyed this ( Celui qui tombe ), not even the music (which I didn't particularly) could stop me from liking it. And it works on so many levels- as both sculpture and dance, love and confusion, and anything and everything we experience in life, art, and loss...

Feeling Groovy!

Really need to get my mind off the usual lunacy we are forced to live with on a daily basis, so how 'bout a nice lighthearted musical melody to soothe the nerves and bring in the weekend... So all you younger readers, aspiring musicians, and sailors trapped on aircraft carriers for almost a year with no goddamn end in sight, eating a hamburger patty with a scoop of rice (then hoping to find a…

The Tell Tale Heart

So... Trump, with the aid of the Secret Service, plays his little, Top Secret, Three Card Monty, Now Ya See Me, Now Ya Don't, food container/airplane disappearing act to avoid a possible Iranian assassination attempt. Deftly played! And let's just forget those loser reporters in the decoy plane that were purposely put in harm's way to secure his safety. But how, why would such highly detailed…

You Throw A Party, And...

What I have to remind myself- ad infinitum...

The Joys Of Retirement

Photos: © Stan B. I still wake up giddy most days, two-thirds of a year in, retirement has certainly not lost its sheen! Don't know if a return to employment will mar the scenery at some inopportune time hence, but for now... One of the things I find (that I could in no way foresee) is how in the moment I am now allowed to be, to experience, to feel! No longer consumed by time restraints, one can…

Trump Dump

We all lead busy lives- so just in case ya didn't catch the art phenomenon of the year... It sold for $1800, if we would have gotten our promised tariff dividend - that would have left the buyer with $200!

Helluva Week In Review!

If ya listened to the news this week one woulda swore that 60,000 Africans crossed the sea into Europe and invaded Spain by force. Actually, the news headline shoulda been- 60,000 Africans emigrate to... Africa ! Ceuta ( where the temporary immigrants emigrated to ) is a city in Africa that Spain just happens to occupy , after taking it from Portugal, who forcibly took it from the rightful…

One Man Level of Cool!

Photo: © Stan B. Having grown up in New York, I've always admired a sense of style. It takes something to possess one, even more to own it; and says something about the person and how they move in the world. Of course, it's ultimately superficial (never judge a book by its cover) but in a world so dominated by the visual- it can carry the day! Some may call it, "Cool-" the look, the manner, the…

American Fear

7/25/2026 Photo: © Stan B. It's a sad and sorry situation- but true. There's this growing trend of mistrust and fear even among peaceful protestors where some participants are now worried of being photographed, identified and made to face retribution. The result is that they now purposely position their signs in front of their faces in order to dissuade subsequent identification. I've also had…

The Parable Of The Snake...

He attempted to steal a Presidential election in front of our very eyes- do you expect any less of him in the midterms ? And then, there's this...

When Shit Talks...

How The CyberTruck Was Designed!

Things I Contemplated Over The Weekend...

A Coupla Things: Trump Assassination Victim's Widow Makes Stunning New Claim 😳 #Trump #Breaking #Politics - YouTube ICE Officer In Maine Shooting Has History Of Violent Behavior, Family And Records Say | HuffPost Latest News A Twofer: Republican election fraud They told her she could vote - YouTube And Finally: "We Don't Have The Biggest D*CK On The Planet!" - Nick Irving [DEBATE] U.S. Lost The…

The NYC Landscape

Photo: © Rob Stephenson If you're a photographer in NYC, you're a street photographer- unless you got a studio and shoot portraits. What's that... landscape? How many shots of the skyline can one possibly take? Obvious questions lead to obvious answers. And deciding what to shoot (and doing it well- the tricky part) is a problem that besets every photographer, especially in an era when anything…

Breaking News!

MAGA believes every single, recycled lie President Trump reiterated this evening concerning the 2020 election. Thank you for your attention to this matter- we now humbly await his state of emergency declaration to steal the midterms!

The Dems Screw It Up, Again!

Imagine if there was one thing , just-one-thing that most Americans could agree on, that most Americans actually want. Imagine one magical something that most Americans could unite on; i f only something like that actually existed- something like, something like... The Epstein Files!!! You'd think the Dems would have had their act together and hammered away at Todd Blanche at his DOJ confirmation…

American Insanity

Was going to post on photography, but it's just too fucking disturbing to ignore- people wantonly being assassinated on the street by our 'Law and Order' administration, a 'Law and Order' administration led by an adjudicated rapist, con man, traitor and pedophile revered by millions who proclaim themselves (as does he) to be both Christian and patriotic ...

Across The River

Photos: © Stan B. I was walking out of my mother's nursing home when I was hit with the hottest wind I ever experienced in my life, unnaturally hot, radioactively hot, and having grown up in NY, having experienced many a NYC summer, I realized- this is most definitely not normal! It was 98 degrees that day and the major reason I wasn't spending extended periods of time pounding sweltering midtown…

101 And Counting

Some things will always lie beyond human comprehension. Photos: © Stan B. The one thing I found myself most wanting to do when I was in Washington, DC this 7/04 was to walk about, megaphone in hand, proclaiming, "Climate Change is a hoax" as we all collectively melted in the 101 degrees of sunlight and heat. But I came armed with a coupla cameras instead, which were useless after an hour and a…

Happy 4th!

Photo: © Stan B. I can pass (in a crowd), and am no doubt considered some kinda Arab when in Europe (hell, most Americans ain't sure what a Puerto Rican is)- but this is indeed interesting! Meanwhile, this is as borderline Genius , as this is hilariously obvious . And as to further round out our nation's great history ... Enjoy the day!

Blogo Interruptus...

Taking a break for a few and will be happily sweltering away this 4th at our nation's Capital in the interests of patriotism and historic documentation. Hopefully, we won't get completely rained out (as I once was many moons ago in a similar NY to DC train run- there's an over 50% chance of pm thunderstorms) on our 250th. Looking forward to seeing the 250 (350?) foot gash in the non-reflecting…

It Is No Exaggeration...

Photo: © Stan B. None whatsoever, to state that we are dealing with an openly racist Presidential administration. The dog whistles and subtle code talk of yore are no longer needed and can no longer be disguised when confronted with the blatant in your face actions of this administration. I have nothing against actual merit based programs and promotions- I do have everything against a system that…

Digital Cancer, Analog Reality

Photo: © Stan B. Imagine waking up, walking down your block and finding Darth Vader's Headquarters right smack in the middle of what was once a picture book, beautiful, American town. Past tense. Just look at that cancerous, oversized monstrosity that metastasized at its very center practically overnight- breaking every environmental and zoning law that once existed, and every promise its creators…

Bloody Brilliant!

The Most Transparent Administration Ever !

Anyone Remember "The Board Of Peace?"

We need them now so badly , Mr. President! Can somebody, please... call the guy who created it?!? How truly blessed we will all be once they spring into action to solve this Iran debacle (and when the smoke clears... maybe take a look at that nasty pool )! Or maybe cartoon Supervillain, bribery aficionado and owner of Green water Services (he who Trump placed in charge of beautifying said pool),…
