Al-Karappi, the Great Frozen Eye of Tehran

Originally posted 7/2008: The southwest corner of Washington Square Park is full of chess players. Many are intent on playing chess, others deal drugs (man hiding face). This wild man arrived from the 4th dimension, and threatened to kill me with his eyeball death ray.

It appears there's something going on here with Dr. Fury and his Infinity Formula. I really, really couldn't love this more.

ha, for some reason this photo looks like it's from the 70s.

The park has cleaned up a bit. Glad they kept the chess tables.

Great street photography

Ken, I hope you were wearing the "eyeball death ray protection wrist band" You can buy them direct from TV for just $29.95, but wait there's more.
