Brooklyn Street Art

Here's some street art around the office in Williamsburg. I really like these wheat-pasted NES cartridges that are re-mixed. This one is titled AC Slater's Preppie Pump Up Saved By The Dumbbell.


Love the way this person draws. What an interesting looking character.


This spray painted stencil is SO detailed it's quite amazing.


George Forman's Get Outta My Grill.



Mike Tyson's Punch Out 2. Check out how they pixelized his face tatoo! And the description of Ear Biting Action!

1st blog - Hamakua Coast, Hilo

So, this is my first blog and I'm sorry that it's so late. You'll have to excuse some of the posts since they will be from the last year or so. I'm just now getting into taking the camera with me and/or using the one on my Raspberry (Red Blackberry). I got inspired to finally post from my recent trip to Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii.

It was a business trip to check out the site for a new venture I'll be pursuing - investing in tropical hardwoods. Although for business, it was a much needed break from the city (ironic because I live in the 'burbs now) and the vog (volcanic ash - yuck!).

It's amazing how different the islands are from one another and even within the islands themselves. Hilo is on the wet side of the Big Island. Although on the island with the greatest volcanic activity, the air and climate is cool, clear and refreshing. I could actually breathe and my throat didn't feel like it was on fire (side effects of vog)! The land is all private property and pasture land (you can tell by the clover) with some old growth koa trees that are being cleared for the new planting. It was beautiful!

This was "the road" we were on . . .

By the time we had seen most of the property, the mist started to come in . . .

All in all, it was a gorgeous day and very productive as well. Another island this "Island" Girl (Manhattan Island, that is) has fallen in love with.
