I just love signs, not sure why… Especially the signs in New York. The font just really appeals to me. Also, the old tile that is moldy and barely visible. You can see it in the brokeh, the old 42nd street sign. Wonder how old it is.

Going to New York was great. Living in Hawaii you forget that a good part of the world goes through what’s called “Fall.” It’s really weird, trees shed leafs and they change colors…

Cory Shaw from Ilovephotos.com invited me to the Tetris Burning Man party at Aloha Tower last night. I must say it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Here is one of the fire dancers demonstrating her awesomeness. She was using ‘poi balls’ but obviously not poi but fire.
