Well, I finally got around to building a dedicated home for Shiny, Pointy & Tall. You can visit SP&T; [Reloaded], which will continue to be updated, at www.hanasiana.com/spt. I'll leave this version up -- from now on it will be known as Shiny, Pointy & Tall Classic -- but it will no longer be updated. Cheers to the MoblogUK team -- and the MoblogUK community -- for inspiring me to undertake this silly project in the first place.

This is definitely the season for photogs traveling in groups.

Here's a rare picture of three different tourists photographing the Chrysler Building simultaneously! It's almost four, but the woman in blue finished snapping her picture just before I snapped mine. The third, by the way, is the guy in white behind the phone booth. You can't really see his camera but you can recognize his picture-taking posture.

Thus far, we have been unwavering in restricting SP&T; to pictures of people taking pictures of the Chrysler Building. The appearance of Christo's 'The Gates' in Central Park, however, has proven to be too much to resist. So here is a page of pictures of people taking pictures of 'The Gates.'
