Because of the narrow hallway, if you are standing in the center of the piece and facing forward, this is the shot your camera will take.

From The Concrete Plateau

There is a five story parking garage across from the library I work at. It has become the hill I climb at the end of the day to watch the sun go down.

David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries

A great read for any city cyclist. On Tuesday, September 28th, the audiobook will be released. From davidbyrne.com:
In addition to music and narration by David Byrne, it also features location sounds, creating an atmosphere more akin to a radio show than a simple reading of the book.
 You can download the Introduction for free. Here is an excerpt:
Cities, it occurred to me, are physical manifestations of our deepest beliefs and our often unconscious thoughts, not so much as individuals, but as the social animals we are. A cognitive scientist need only look at what we have made—the hives we have created—to know what we think and what we believe to be important, as well as how we structure those thoughts and beliefs. It’s all there, in plain view, right out in the open; you don’t need CAT scans and cultural anthropologists to show you what’s going on inside the human mind; its inner workings are manifested in three dimensions, all around us. Our values and hopes are sometimes awfully embarrassingly easy to read. They’re right there—in the storefronts, museums, temples, shops, and offi ce buildings and in how these structures interrelate, or sometimes don’t. They say, in their unique visual language, “This is what we think matters, this is how we live and how we play.” Riding a bike through all this is like navigating the collective neural pathways of some vast global mind. It really is a trip inside the collective psyche of a compacted group of people.
