WTC


Its almost anniversary time for 9/11.

Here is my homage to the view from our side… the Jersey City side. The late summer sun sinking into the West. A cross processed look of a city summer with blown highlights, aqua water, and gushing winds across the Hudson. Such a view from the dock near Pavonia Newport. A little dutched but a view none the less.

I think this image was from 1999 or so. I remember thinking how New York and photography and life was so far away from me. It was one of those days. Remembering the first few days. A cold February day…walking down 9th Ave to meet Yukako at a share. My luggage and a Texas winter coat. The coat didn’t last. Subways, Times Square, pizza, taxis, strange aggressive people. What a time. Its still far away but the distance isn’t so bad. Life changes. The view is gone.

Toilet

Only in New York can you come across a sight like this? I think I found this image near Washington Square Park in November 2000. Everyone seem to have election sickness from the problems at hand. Courts deciding the outcome was just wearing on the public.

You could find just about anything on the streets of New York. Garbage was just a matter of public discourse. Where else in the world can you find a toilet with headlines as such?
