Jon Glaser’s ‘Four Seasons’

Jon Glaser, The Occasional, Funny Or Die January 2, 2013

I absolutely love those photo series of one location, photographed from the same spot, taken in each of the four seasons. Whether it’s the rolling hillside of a British farm, or a sleepy New England country road, it’s always stunning and humbling to see the exact same locale transformed by nature. Like a private glimpse into someone’s world, watching as life passes by. I find these shots to be at once beautiful and haunting, hopeful and sad. I am grateful to The Occasional for allowing me to present one of my favorite New York spots in a similar fashion: the B/Q 7th Avenue stop, taken in fall, winter, spring, and summer. Enjoy.

Andy Richter’s Guide to Voting

The Occasional, Andy Richter, Dan Abramson, Erin Gibson October 31, 2012

Remember the old days of pulling a lever to cast your vote? Of course you don’t! That was a dumb time that only old people lived through! We’re young and our time is precious, which is why the government made it easy for us to choose politicians by marking a ballot and scanning it into a computer. But for the few of you who have never felt the ecstasy of participating in our democracy, Andy Richter is here to show you how to take part in the 2012 election.
