Photobreak: He&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;#039;s getting married in the morning

In tribute to my good friend Paul B. who’s getting married this weekend.

Don’t be nervous buddy. We got your back.

But if you do get nervous, we’ll carry you in.

Photo Break: Flying was better back then

Boy Reporter — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:34:17 +0000

This one is a no-brainer. Flying was probably slower, less safe and more expensive back in the 1950s and 1960s but at least it was more humane. You’re not getting crammed in with screaming babies, inconsiderate louts and god knows who else.

Also, for some odd reason, everyone dressed up to fly. No sitting next to a schlub in trackpants and a stained t-shirt. I could do without the cigarette smoking though.

I blowed into New York town,
And I looked up and I looked down,
Everybody I seen on the streets
Was all a running down in a hole in the ground.
I follered ‘em. See where they’s a going.
Newsboy said they’re tryin’ to smoke a rat out of a hole.

Photo Break: Here is New York

The Pornographer download The photos pair nicely with E.B. White’s 1948 essay, “Here is New York.”

There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter–the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these trembling cities the greatest is the last–the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York’s high strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh yes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company….
