Inadvertently explored Greenpoint this weekend and found some sweet sign and work truck type!

Yo! Check out my whip! My SUPER DUPER WHIP!

Not in Greenpoint but still some cool neon!

Sky High Murals of the fames “Up There” film —-> watch it here —-> http://vimeo.com/10562000

This gas truck also had the same type HUGE on the side of it, but I couldn’t get a good shot. Love the two tone drop shadow, and there was amazing pin striping details on the letter shadows that you can’t quite see here.

“Popular” for a reason!

If you are having a crazy wild night on the town this sign will attempt to keep you in line!

And the real reason I named this post Neon Bible… The word of the street is The Arcade Fire is releasing a new single soon. We eagerly anticipate! http://pitchfork.com/news/38818-new-arcade-fire-single-out-soon/

On the lower east side

Somewhere in Queens

My neighborhood deli on Wyckoff Ave. in Bushwick

Very uncommon drop shadow on the top right (not that these guys put much thought into anyway)

I consider the altering of subway advertisement a fine art, and mostly it’s distasteful. However, every once and a while you get some beautifully hilarious stuff like this gem:

So I have a theory about the camera on my cellphone. While others seem to be updating their phones so that the pictures are like 20 mega pixels, I personally enjoy the lo-fi aesthetic of my crappy cellphone! I consider it the polaroid of cellphones! Also, I had much better luck with this blog when i was mostly uploading photos, so in hopes to update more regularly I’m going to do a bit of photo blogging for now!!

Starting now….

The day last summer that the sky started to melt! Apparently it’s a Mammatus cloud formation.

Apparently they try harder in Mexico! 

DAY 2 
We are staying in Felippe Carrillo Puerto in the Yucantan Peninsula, Mexico. 

Breakfast in the courtyard of our hotel. Charging up for a long day of work

About 2 hours south of Carrillo Puerto we went to the Organic farm of Gualberto (on the right). A truly innovative and inspiring man. He went back to school to learn how to farm organically so that he could be a leader in his community and encourage entrepreneurial endeavors to keep jobs local.

He showed us some of the many vegetable and herbs that he grows

Oregano I believe

Magic fruit

One of the three types of basil be grows

basil again

Los Tomatoes

Purple Basil

Mico Tunel that he uses to cultivate plants. Protects them from heavy rain and insects… and it looks cool!

A type of lettuce

We were put to work harvesting beets.

and Cilantro

more to come……

Here is the Blog for everyone on the trip!

I love the nostalgia of old signs and such. (if you couldn’t tell from my site) Found a sweet Flickr site that I bookmarked a while back when I was researching for my site.

This guy Neato Coolville (aka Todd Franklin) is a well traveled man for sure. and you can go to his flickr photostream to see the amazing index of all things neato and cool!
