1954560369/9/14 So I was waiting on the subway platform at the 14th St. underground station for the F/M train today. It was at least 100 degrees in the station. There was also a rotten fish stench that was blowing through the tunnels that was so foul it was making me gag. I got on the train, finally, then got off at the 42nd St. stop and was walking down 40th St. in Manhattan and saw this. It made me chuckle a bit.

1954560009/11/14 Still to this day, it bothers me. People stepped up, people worked it out. I was working at WTC in 2000, a second job as a stock boy at Banana Republic on the ground floor, and I left NYC to go back to school in NJ. So many good people were lost that day. I was watching the reading of names of people lost today, and it is still painful. The names of soldiers lost in the effort should also be read on t.v. I will always be proud of my Dad for going and helping to sort out the rubble with his buddy Cliff Blanchard.

I was taking this picture wondering if people every traversed that bridge out to this spot and then saw the first set of waves hit it and decided yeah, probably not.

A problem I have always had with graf over the years is the impermanence, but even that impermanence of graffiti is a statement. It is a dream of mine to check out some of the early cave paintings. This picture was taken at Newgrange in Ireland. A mystical place.

19584450710/13/14 This structure on Montserrat in Spain is the Santa Cova which was built around a cave on the side of the mountain. The cave at one point housed the "black Madonna" statue, thought to be carved by St. Luke, which was hidden there from invaders and later re-discovered there centuries later. It is a pilgrimage site.

19717833312/19/14 So I have been trying to get this picture for years now. It is two subways passing each other underground. The perspective is looking from one subway into the other. I have tried to get it many times but have not been quick enough with the camera or the image didn't come out. Tonight I finally got a half decent one. One of the small victories of the day.
