  1. I saw this guy walking around NYC today.

    Respectable looking businesman, on cell phone, with an "almost homeless" placard hanging around his neck. Iphone had a smudge on the lens, hence the blur:

    coincidently, christies auction house is right down the street with a 20-30 million dollar Basquiat hanging in the window.

    these are crazy times!
