I like to think that this chair partied hard last night

indonesia ave & village way (they don't have street names--that i can spell)

2007-09-07T20:07:00.001-05:00

this plaster-covered brick bench sits on a small road going through the rice fields of a village in inodnesia.

111th St (Lenox and Adam Clayton)

2007-08-14T21:03:00.000-05:00

i think this looks like a mushroom chair- like it just grew in the planter.

As I stopped to take a picture, a teenage boy walked by and asked what we were doing. "You're taking a picture of a CHAIR?" Corey asked if he thought it's an interesting chair, and he said, "No! I put that chair, man." Well, now we know how it got there.

Corner of Puuahi & Kulanui

2007-05-21T01:21:00.000-05:00

I don't know anything about this chair, but I think it realizes its predicament and is trying to make the trek back home.

Upper West Side

2007-05-20T00:12:00.000-05:00

These were all taken on the Upper West Side near Lincoln Center, but ask me if I remember exactly when or where.

Behind the Dumpster at the Glenwood

These couches are the last of what was left of a big couch give away at the Glenwood in Provo.

More light would have been nice. Or a camera that is not actually a phone. There's a chair in this pic, I swear.

in memoriam (the chairs that were on 111th)

2007-04-24T11:22:00.000-05:00

me: so last friday i saw a heap of chairs on the side of the road
like an empty dinner party
and was getting out my camera
and some homeless guy started chasing me
so i never got the shot.
Becca: i think that story could make a good post
me: okay

111th (between Lenox and Adam Clayton)

2007-04-24T11:15:00.000-05:00

more chairs being thrown out on my street. chairs are apparently ALWAYS being thrown out on my street. we are a chair consuming, chair disposing people on 111th.

i have never even seen a chair

2007-04-23T16:07:00.000-05:00

do you realize i've never even seen a chair?

I just thought we needed a bit of green on the page.

Adam Clayton Powell and 111th

2007-04-19T20:16:00.000-05:00

Something to sit on, a broken tv, and all kinds of garbage.

Between Hamilton Terrace and Pathmark

2007-04-15T21:15:00.000-05:00

I think the chair was tired. It must be a hard life, holding up all of those tired people.

trash heap on 144th & convent

2007-04-10T11:28:00.000-05:00

all of this was outside of a church. i grabbed these on the way out for the night. a couple of men were on the corner having a conversation and it quickly changed to "she's taking pictures of trash!" there was some head shaking and raised eyebrows. it always amazes me the things that will surprise people in new york.

somewhere in soho

i felt like i was intruding...

W 10th St and Washington

2007-04-08T00:00:00.000-05:00

I was on my way to Uncommon Goods to go retouching when I happened upon this leather treasure hanging out at the bus stop.

It's a pretty genius idea really. You're waiting at the bus stop, you're tired, you want to sit. Why not have a nice leather chair there waiting for you?

Sadly the idea didn't last because the next day, it was gone.

74th and Broadway

2007-04-07T15:19:00.000-05:00

I saw this abandoned chair on Broadway over by 74th:

After I pull out my camera, I realize that a man down the block thinks I just took a picture of him. I yell to him that I was just taking a picture of the chair, and he yells back that it's his chair, feel how heavy it is, it's cast-iron, they don't make chairs like that anymore, he'll sell it to me for $100. I don't want to buy this chair, but I go over and talk to the guy and get a pic of him as well.

Somewhere on Canal St.

2007-04-05T12:01:00.000-05:00

This chair was placed next to one of the plethora of street stands. The back reads, "Thou Shalt Not Steal."
