What did I do today?

You can tell this is just a filler. There's really nothing to post, this is an old photo of a building in Upper East Side, New York that I took 3, maybe 4 years ago.

Mystery solved.

This is a promotional photo from Nike

Sometime in June, I mentioned the gesture made by Spanish forward Fernando Torres, after scoring a goal in a World Cup match, and provided a link to a photo showing this gesture. 5 months on and I keep on getting visits here, by bulks, looking for that photo, which has since been removed by its original poster. Maybe they're just curious as to why he was not invited to join the national team this time. Or maybe they're just wondering if he's recovered from his current injury. The image shown here is a publicity shot by Nike, his current sponsor.

Come to think about it though, it was quite obvious that he was gonna be huge, and a lot of people would be looking for anything at all about him. So maybe it's not such a surprise after all.

One visitor who eventually found the entry, I guess after some digging through my archives, left this comment:
"The gesture done by Torres is known as "the archer". He did it imitating his Atletico Madrid idol Kiko"

Old trees

Just another experiment in post processing... this is a digital snap of trees as observed from a window of a moving train... on the way to Berlin. I tried to make it look like an old sepia print.
