9/11 photo with strange G.O.D message
illustration for those who love Claude Mckays America like I do, if you don't know it you are in for a treat
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate.
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.
Williamsburg NYC snow year 2000
Yesterdays snow pic out my window here in Paris reminded me of this shot I took out the window of the JMZ train in Williamsburg heading into Manhattan back in the winter of 2000
Manhatten on my mind-sketch
after yesterdays clear and clean NZ summer memory, today is a NYC state of mind. Unfortunately my travel plans are confined to brisk walks between Goncourt and Gambetta... could be worse!
NYC it's a gas
these shots are over 10 years old but I'm sure the flavor is still the same... greatest city in the world

I usually like to illustrate a new work for this friday gig, but this time
I thought this earlier work fitted the bill, a cop out I know... slippery slope and all that
