Day 61: Unfortunate by Nick

Camden, NJ was once a manufacturing hub in the early twentieth century, when those jobs left the property values dropped and with it came economic depression for the city. In the past ten years it is regularly one of the top five most dangerous cities in America. It's a shame to drive around and see great architecture dilapidated and handsome row homes boarded up because it could be a sister city to Philadelphia. It is still the home of Cambell's Soup and the final resting place of Walt Whitman.

Day 60: Retro by Nick

I've always felt Catblatch has had hair verging on James Dean, he's is truly classic and current all at once. In short, he is my destiny. By that I mean he is the man I watch 30 Rock with. What the hell am I talking about? I'm just thankful I don't have work tonight and have internet access.

Day 53: Quick by Nick

It may not be fast compared to a CD by a 45 rpm is quicker than 33 rpm.

Day 52: Accident by Nick

I had an awesome picture of a spider that I was gonna shoehorn into today's theme until I walked out to my car and found this. Presumably this was not planned and accidentally expelled itself from someone's stomach. So... Enjoy!

Day 50: Odd by Nick

It was disappointing to miss a day due to poor internet connection. Taken during the wee hours of Sunday, my roommate was rather drunk (as was I) when he pulled this maneuver and I had to tell him to wait while I grabbed my camera. For whatever reason we have random action figures from 20 years ago hanging out in our apartment waiting to assist in the lighting of cigarette.

Day 48: Dark by Nick

It's dark and her name is Crystal, so... Dark Crystal, get it?

Day 47: Punch by Nick

Sometimes I like to do the the most obvious interpretation and try to make that interesting. Also, none of my other ideas seemed that cool and it's nice to give my mind a break. Also, I'm lazy and suck. However I do like the picture I took... It's a punch! With a Karate Kid headband! In all honesty she did just happen to be wearing it.

Day 46: Circus by Nick

Between playing quizzo and making the occasional drink I found time to make a big top out of straws and a napkin. The quizzo hosts girlfriend was the only woman not too shy to expose her bare feet for scale. My creation was left behind the bar for the morning crew to contemplate just like crop circles and the pyramids.

Day 45: Surprise by Nick

Pretty self-explanatory. My friend Lori is going to hate me but she was a better actress than she let on. I also tried the same exact idea as J with the same person but after two attempts failed it appeared he might be onto me.

Day 44: Sleep by Nick

Jane tapped out immediately after this sleeper hold by her father, Steve. Apparently watching cartoons was a higher priority. She did manage tell me she is two years old, has red shoes and owns a mermaid ball.

Day 43: Square by Nick

Spent the day at the Phillies doubleheader. Third base at Citizens Bank Park is square I assure you, though from this angle it's more diamond shaped. David Wright sucking nearby is not pictured.

Day 42: Bear by Nick

A few years ago I was watching the 40 Year Old Virgin with a girlfriend and during the waxing scene she said nobody can be that hairy, I begged to differ. During a conversation she had with our mutual friend Stacey, Stacey asked if I was "fuzzy like a bear." The answer was 'yes'.

Day 41: Naked by Nick

Works on two levels, one is obvious, you're welcome to speculate on the other. If you're really curious feel free to message me, in the meantime I'll keep it to myself. Posted after much debate and fooling with other photos.

Day 40: Disappointment by Nick

Final Score
Missy - 162
Catblatch - 134
Me - 129

Starting the game with three "I"s and ending with two was terribly disappointing, especially when I had been telling Jeff that my picture was going to be of his stupid face when he lost. The game was punctuated by some smart street talk as we all affected New York accents and attitudes for the game, really classy like.

Day 39: Height by Nick


This is taken from the observation deck at the top of Philadelphia City Hall, tallest building in the world from 1901 - 1908. The adjacent plaza is littered with oversized game pieces, it's one of my favorite odd structures in the city along with the nearby giant clothespin.

Day 38: Birthday by Nick

This document from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a birth registration notice presumably filled out by my parents a week or so after I was born. I wanted to manipulate it so you could see the texture in the paper more so than what is written on it. Tough theme today, truth be told I wanted to dig up old birthday cards, I have them going back to my twelfth, but they're packed away in my attic.

Day 37: Phone by Nick

Think about the last time you used a pay phone. It's one of those memories that one day is going to make us old timers the same as remembering life without internet or walkmen. Obsolete things have always fascinated me especially now that some of them are part of my history.

I know this is a day late but seeing as no one has posted for birthday yet I figured I'd sneak in.

Day 36: Leaf by Nick

Wasn't sure I was gonna make it today as I spent most of the day horizontal, praying for death. After my father gave me some of his migraine medicine that made my legs hurt I managed to snap this on his fridge. It's an art project made by my brother Andrew called the "Tree of Thanks."

Day 35: Secret by Nick

My friends Katie and Shonda were kind enough to pose for me, the result reminded me of an ad for Gossip Girl. There was only enough time for a handful of shots but they both got into character and were troopers.
