it was really weird in person. like, visible from all over the city - to an extent where everyone walking down the street would turn to each other like "is that really happening?"
the full on eye contact thing made me laugh out loud. it's as if you were walking through the jungle in nam and came across a wounded soldier. what drama, what moral quandry.
I have books going back to 2003 on my Amazon wishlist that I still intend to read someday. I can't tell if that's pathetic or if it shows persistence and optimism.
Click around that flickr page, or google "Pakistani Starfleet" and brace yourself, though I don't think the full extent of it is visible on the web; we're talking decades of work, feature-length films, etc. I saw it at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore (still there, through September I think).
what a great post! I have been walking a lot lately too, and since this is the first time I've lived without my bike for 3 years, I definitely notice that the slower pace is better for contemplating -- "noticing," like you say. I am kind of jealous of your Philly walking-- because Philly is more fringe, more unpredictable actually than NY in a lot of ways. NY is so full of things (esp. in Manhattan where I am staying now) but Philly has those long spaces in between things so might make you a little more forced to notice smaller stuff
