I work as a film location scout in New York City. My day is basically spent combing the streets for interesting and unique locations for feature films. In my travels, I often stumble across some pretty incredible sights, most of which are ignored every day by thousands of New Yorkers in too much of a rush to pay attention.
As it happens, it's my job to pay attention, and I've started this blog to keep a record of what I see.

"I sometimes wonder if anyone still reads this stuff." Here's an unique perspective for the self-styled brash, anarchist, punkrocker turned maturing, computer-
geeky, old git in all of us, or at least those of us who remember John Coltrane's version of
My Favorite Things.
WrecklessEric dot com contains the words of a man filled with
faux passion and finite jest, whose composed some good music and written some good lyrics to go with them. For those of you not that old,
Wreckless Eric wrote the song
Whole Wide World which is what Will Ferrell sings to Maggie Gyllenhaal in
that movie before she jumps his bones. It was just last year. You might have seen it. Eric's done some
other things too. I bring this to the blue cuz I happen to be fascinated by the wry, personable, unapologetic, self-referential, egotistical and occasionally self-loathing way
the guy writes in his website, and cuz I'm a sucker for the history of
punk, cuz I'm a geeky old git who used to fancy himself a shoegazing punk enthusiast.
...and cuz I'm bored.
