Empire State Building Shooting

****WARNING**** PHOTO IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC****

Today, I heard something like gunshots around 9AM EST. I actually thought it was one of those nail-guns at a nearby construction site, but I decide to go outside and check it out anyway.

To my my surprise, I saw a fatally wounded man across the street bleeding from, what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head.

After hearing numerous accounts of the story from bystanders, I thought the photos I was shooting were of the suspect. Unfortunately, they were not. They were of the victim, of this tragic shooting.












My thoughts go out to the family of victim.

Train-ride make-up application sessions!

Ladies, I don't understand what makes you think, that no one but you lives in the world...I mean, it's bad enough to have to endure the transformation most of you do everyday, from a hideous beast into something presentable with your train-ride make-up application sessions...... But to have suffer the smell of nail polish, while you paint your nails on an enclosed train is quite ridiculous! Why can't you wake-up a little earlier, to apply your movie magic? I'm sure, if I decided to pull off my shoe and sock, and then proceeded clip my toe nails on the train you'd have plenty to say about that! HA-HA~
