Fall-en Behind

Sometime a summer ago.  

I went to Pennsylvania

and I watched a woman sloppily eat Chobani.

(along with other things)

And I came out on the other side---in October. 

Central Pop

A little summer flavor.

Vaulted, Unvaulted

A few things that grew dusty in the basement of my hard drive.

Sunset Park Library

A recent project of mine, completed in a little over a week.  400+ titles on a 9x9' sq ft wall. 

And, thanks to Steph Ching, you can view a time lapse http://vimeo.com/40194846

  

A Fresher Morning

The morning comes, the night decays, the watchmen leave their stations.

The grave is burst, the spices shed, the linen wrapped up.

The bones of death, the cov’ring day, the sinews shrunk & dry’d.

Reviving shake, inspiring move. Breathing! Awakening!

Spring, like redeemed captives where their bonds & bars are burst.

Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field.

Let him look up into the heavens & laugh in the bright air.

Let the inchained soul shut up in darkness & in sighing,

Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years,

Rise & look out, his chains are loose, his dungeon doors are open,

And let his wife & children return from the oppressor’s scourge.

They look behind at every step & believe it is a dream.

Singing, “The Sun has left his blackness & has found a fresher morning & the fair moon rejoices in the clear & cloudless night;

For Empire is no more, & now the Lion & Wolf shall cease.”

Excerpt from America: A Prophecy

William Blake, 1793

Since Last Time

Been a few weeks. Here's a recap:

Work. Double exposures of dogs and flies. St. Patrick's Day. Some signage. And my first driver's license.

Straphangers

Give me your best line.

Before there was Google...

There was the NYPL Picture Library.

Think of something--- anything--- and voila.
