homeless

Just of few of hundreds of comments made about this street fashion picture from the Sartorialist. Yeah, this must be New York.

Derelique!

Ghostbusters meet Metal'....nice and intresting

Guys, I think he's homeless and just doesn't want his boots to be STOLEN, when he sleeps.

As we Canadians know, duct tape fixes everything. Duct Tape Forever!

this is so awfull!!!!

this photo is so crisp and perfect and reminds me of my brother.

Nice job man. Striking! indeed. Especially to see it on a blog like this. This is one of our realities. A homeless person.

very interesting though I don't get it...

Clearly, the homeless exist for our amusement. I hope you at least gave him a few bucks.

A symphony of form and function!

Necessity is the mother of invention.

I battled with this photo. It affects the emotions in that it could be of a homeless or an eccentric person. Maybe you could have indicated that the guy is a construction worker. It comes close to the bone.

He either has duct tape on to keep is boots up or his pants down.

That's pretty cool. I love the open buckles and how they pick up the silver of the tin foil/duct tape...

this person is not homeless.He is a construction worker.

Awesome! I love the boots, but it's the duct tape in classic silver that made me take notice. It just goes to show that even a homeless person or city worker or whoever this person is can accessorize with wit and style, given what's available to them.

Another foray into the lives of the working classes? Honestly, The Sartorialist could use some hand holding in this area. The line between art and objectification isn't that thin, yet seems to crossed here frequently.

This is the kind of guy (or gal?) you want around in times of crisis! Inventive, Practical, & No-nonsense! I swoon for folks who know how to make a way out of no way! Survival of the fittest pair of boots!

i love how you captured the light on this photo, sublime!

new years eve

I was seriously considering shooting a massive dose of vitamin D into my neck via syringe, but the sun is finally shining and I'm inspired for a new round of 2011 days. Happy times. I wrote another wobbly song for perky ears: LISTEN HERE or not.

deer

a conversation about game farms: GNORBY- Hi Guys, I'm new to this website but have read many questions and answers from you all and you all seem very helpful about giving out good information. I live in NW Minnesota and I'm thinking about starting up a small game farm. I would raise deer and mostly bucks. I have about 5 acres to deal with. I would at no point want much more than 10 to 20 animals at a time. Is this something that can be done and how could I go about doing this. I went to school and studied wildlife research and would like to do something with that degree. I would like to know if any of you could point me in the right direction for fencing, posts, food type, and what type of deer would be good starters to get my farm going. Look forward to all your responses and they will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I was also going to ask some of you that raise deer, what do you do with all your shed antlers that you find from your animals. I love collecting deer sheds, but some of you must have thousands.

WILD RIVERS - Well, it depends on what you want to do with the deer you raise - sell them as shooters or as breeding stock. Either way you need a group of does and probably a buck to start. You are going to get about 50% does, so you need a plan for them. If you keep the bucks, how long are you going to keep them? Each year class will likely need a pen. They probably need to be a minimum of 2 years old to sell as shooters. If you are going for breeding stock you are going to have to spend a lot of money on your start up deer to get top of the line genetics. That market is very competitive. What you should do is go and visit some other deer farms to see what makes sense for you. Even if you have a degree in wildlife, you have barely scratched the surface of deer - we have been doing this 15 years and learn new stuff all the time. Also, like Dr. Kroll says, deer die, if you can't deal with that you shouldn't be in the deer business. Also, it is never your low end buck that dies, but usually the best one. Having said all that, raising deer is fascinating stuff - always something new. Each season brings its high points - right now we are watching the bucks grow out their antlers - some surprises and some disappointments - you just never know. Good luck in your venture. Also, like Dr. Kroll says, deer die, if you can't deal with that you shouldn't be in the deer business.
