At the beginning of every month I dump all the DCIMs (digital camera images) off my smartphone for backup and so if anything happens to the phone I don’t lose too much previous data. I then upload all the images I didn’t share on social or otherwise, here, for viewing.

I took markedly fewer smartphone photos for the month of April than possibly ever before. An indicator of moving still further away from that lens and to my RX100M4 when I want a good shot, but also frankly because of technical difficulties with the camera app in Android 6.0.1 – just turning the phone physically while preparing a shot crashes the app. I need to completely off-load the device, and re-install the OS and everything else – this time-suck means “I can’t be bothered” and I’m just not taking as many photos. (Also shame on you Google!)

I am irate at my Google Nexus 6; I took ~20 shots of tearing apart this bicycle and rebuilding it, and this is the only image that survived. Unbelievable!

someone walked in and said, “I had no idea this was here!” So I asked, “Do you mean the Panorama, or Queens?”

some of the most authentic Mexican I’ve ever had in the boroughs
lots and lots and lots of TRIBBLES!
OK that’s cool!
never seen this before

I got an up-close look at one of these single-fork bicycles in the wild – I still don’t get this, other than its novelty. Didn’t get to chat with the rider.

Now this is a gripe, but c’mon MTA. On the one hand you tell subway riders, “There is no late-night M here, take the E instead” and then you tell them “There’s no E here some nights at all.” The two service advisories do overlap – so basically ‘no M or E, we hope you figure it out!’
