YOU'RE BETTER OFF AT AARON'S
This is probably my favorite sign ever. I noticed it, at the corner of 5th Ave and 17th St in South Slope, Brooklyn, the first time I ever came into the neighborhood. I love that it's painted, all kinds of assumptions it makes in so few words and most of all, the fact that Aaron's has been shut down for about five years now. I think it was some kind of ladies' department store, possibly one catering to older/Orthodox women.

Are you Open to buying?
Image by Rosa Say
Or are you simply another photographer?
There is an Antiques Store up in Waimea I’ve driven by often, and only recently stopped in to take a look within, though it seems to have been there for as long as I can remember. It is one of those re-purposed kind of places, once someone’s home, and newly celebrated in another way by a group of four friends who are themselves collectors more than successful sellers; it’s one of those places you suspect is more public storage than retail enterprise. From the street it looks very small, and it was, originally; it’s rooms can be accurately described as tiny, and you surmise the house was likely built by someone very short of resources who only included what was felt to be most necessary. But then you get to the back door of the kitchen, and find it opens up into a back porch where additional rooms were added in another L-shape of communal living opened to a sideyard. And now, as an antiques store, what these rooms contain is of an amazing abundance of old things.
I was very short of time the morning I stopped in, and raced through it vowing to return: these photos are from that first visit. When I did return however, it instantly became one of those experiences which simply could not rival my first-time impressions, and I did not snap a single shot, preferring to look back on these, and remember.

Are we just rearranging the deck-chairs on the titanic
This morning I attended my first Fine Gael press conference. For some strange reason Fine Gael have decided to use orange tinted lights so all of the photographs that I took had a yellow hue … I have tried to adjust the white balance to compensate.
We are in the early stages of the campaign and already I am becoming somewhat depressed because it would appear that none of the parties are offering the sort of radical solutions that we need and I don't understand why they are all latching onto "clouding computing" as a solution. In the context of our overpowering economic crisis I really wonder what problem is solved by cloud computing? [Note: The Streets Of Dublin employs cloud computing]
Maybe Ireland's current economic problem has no solution and we are just undertaking a pointless exercise similar to rearranging the deck-chairs on the titanic. That is a horrible thought.

FG sets out extensive plan to tackle jobs crisis & rebuild economy – Bruton & Varadkar
Fine Gael Leader Enda Kenny has today (Thursday) launched Working for Our Future, the Party’s plans to create tens of thousands of new jobs over five years. The plan was prepared by the Fine Gael Enterprise, Jobs & Economic Planning Spokesman Richard Bruton and Communications, Energy & Natural Resources Spokesman Leo Varadkar.
Speaking at the launch, Deputy Bruton said: ‘Fine Gael’s jobs plan, Working for Our Future, is based on keeping people in work within Ireland, making it easier to start up new businesses, making Ireland a better place to do business, and helping more Irish businesses to look beyond our borders and sell on a global scale’.
Deputy Varadkar said: ‘The only strategy that can, and will work is a hard-headed political strategy. This will involve an investment plan which doesn’t rely on borrowing and taxation. Our revised NewERA plan will invest an additional €7 billion in revenue generating infrastructure like energy, broadband, and water’.
Key points
· Competitiveness: no direct tax hikes on jobs or enterprise; no income tax hikes, including PRSI and USC; employment law will be consolidated; consider a single business tax for micro businesses; simplify tax registration for start-ups; maintain the 12.5% corporation tax rate, cut the Jobs Tax (employers’ PRSI) for the lower paid; cut VAT in labour-intensive sectors of the economy like construction, hospitality, hairdressing, and newspapers.
· Building a modern economy: NewERA will invest €7 billion from NPRF and sale of State assets in water, broadband and energy, lowering business costs and improving competitiveness.
· Youth unemployment: 45,000 placements including National Internship Programme places in private and voluntary sectors; Second Chance Education for former retail & construction workers who did not complete their education; new opportunities for apprentices.
· Reduce business costs: slash €500M worth of red tape, tackle closed sectors like transport, medical, waste & legal services; address out-of-date pay structures in certain sectors; support start-ups by simplifying tax registration.
· Boost exporting companies: tax credits to multinational companies which support exporting Irish companies; service companies that export more than 90% of their output will be VAT exempt; a new Asia Strategy to treble trade between Ireland and Asia by 2025.
Deputy Bruton & Varadkar said: ‘Fine Gael is the only political party to put forward a comprehensive jobs and growth policy of this nature. The Labour party seems to think that extending austerity to 2016 will bring about higher growth. It won’t. The outgoing Fianna Fáil/Green Government has produced nothing but vague plans with woolly targets. Fianna Fáil’s constant attacks on Fine Gael policies are only an attempt to cover up the lack of any credible jobs plan from the Government’.
