On a recent trip to Pittsburgh, I passed this cigarette vending machine when I went to the restroom at Finnegan’s Wake (one of my favorite Irish pubs in town). It took me by surprise because they’ve been illegal in New York City for almost 20 years. I remember playing with the knobs as a little [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Elvis had cheap gas
Elvis’s Automobile Museum at Graceland is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. More than 50 vintage cars in absolutely pristine condition. If you ever find yourself in Memphis, the cars and the house are not to be missed. Among the cars was this old Tokheim gas pump from what must have been the [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: No breastfeeding
Mike Dizon and I went out for lunch around New Work City one day. We walked past Pepe Rosso, a pasta take-out joint on Sullivan St. that Mike insists is the best around. So I poked my head in to take a look, and saw this sign hanging in the entrance: No breastfeeding in Pepe [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Bottom loading instructions
While at Graceland, I came upon a truck with operating instructions posted on the side. These might be the most confusing instructions I’ve ever seen. I’m well aware that I’m not the intended audience for this, but there’s so much jargon and such poor grammar that I can’t imagine anyone can understand what this is [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Whirlpool dishwasher utensil tray
A few years ago I went out with a guy who made me dinner in his apartment. I’m going to refrain from saying what I thought of the food. But at the end of the meal as we brought the dishes into the kitchen, I noticed that his dishwasher had a unique design that I’d [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Tropicana grocery display
I don’t want to beat a dead horse here. We all know that Tropicana redesigned their cartons and there was a major backlash from consumers. In the end it was pulled from the shelves, but not before Matt Knell was able to snap this unbelievable pic: Matt showed me this photo on his iPhone recently [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: A 90-year-old’s cell phone
You know how you share one set of grandparents with your first cousins? I’m sad to say that my grandparents have all passed on, but I’m still very lucky to still have one nonagenarian in my life — my first cousins’ other grandmother. Her name is Jill and ever since I was a little kid [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Unattended Kids
This one wasn’t exactly a submission (I asked for it), but like yesterday’s it was snapped by someone other than me — the luminous Andrew Hinton. While we were in Memphis for the IA Summit, Andrew was enjoying a meal at the Flying Fish when he spotted this sign. WE LOVE KIDS, BUT PLEASE KEEP [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: Elevator button or fire alert?
Folks, this post marks a special occasion. My “Photo of the day” posts have become so famous that I’m starting to receive submissions — well, I got one, from a very nice friend. When I ran into Brian Shaler at SXSW, he told me that he had a great photo for me. He snapped it [Keep Reading…]
Photo of the day: The Huanting in Connecticut
I just loathe public misspellings. There’s something about the laziness of it all and total disregard for its intended “user” that really pisses me off. Now I know this isn’t one of my clearest photos. I made the mistake of leaving the house without my camera, and when Orian spotted this I insisted he take [Keep Reading…]
