The iPhone line
Here is my favorite photo I took this morning of the iPhone line. I couldn't believe my eyes. The shoes really make the photo.
More photos of the iPhone line (and other things) here on my Flickr page.
The shoes say it all.
One of my customers works at a local Apple store. Yesterday he told me that they'd hired 60 extra people -- in that one store alone -- just for today's madness. ACK!

Your pictures, your entire Flickr album, makes me want to put my house up for sale NOW and head North. I love your interpretation of the city. I'd love to have that experience one day.

Posted by: Amanda at June 30, 2007 10:21 PMi love that photo! the shoes are killing me! who wears green loafers outside of St. Patrick's Day, is what i want to know. :)
(i have a sinking feeling you're going to say that you have a favorite pair, you wear them all the time...)

I just love, too, that they are MATCHING. Like - what?? Beautiful, so random.
The umbrella must have been key, too - because this couple is in the front of the line, which means they had to have been there at least 2 days - and there was a monsoon on Wednesday night. Good call with Ye Olde umbrella!
Posted by: red at July 1, 2007 12:06 PMLine person #1, somewhere in a New York apartment: Honey, c'mon, we're going to be late and miss our spot at the front of the line! Hurry up!
Line person #2: Give me a second already, would ya? We're gonna be there for days...one last run through the checklist. Right, chairs, check..
LP1: --sigh -- alright ...taps foot
LP2: Big ass umbrella, check... Henry! What are you wearing! You can't wear those! Not your Converse sneakers! Did you not even look at me before you put them on? I mean, we discussed this, didn't we?
LP1, slightly under breath, exasperated: ... oh for god's sake..
LP2: Didn't we? What happens if we get separated, or lost? GO GET YOUR GREEN SHOES!
LP1: Oh, alright, alright. But I am NOT CHANGING MY SHIRT. I draw the line at matching shoes.
LP2: Don't worry, no one will see our shirts because of the umbrella.
