Photo of the Day: Stagehands on a break
Broadway is in a current roiling state of unrest, due to the revelations (known by everybody for years – even I knew about it) of Scott Rudin’s abusive horrific behavior. The unrest around this issue is exacerbated by the planned … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Lumber
I took this somewhere in Minnesota on a thundery day. During our months off the grid, my boyfriend and I traveled not by interstate – but by backroads only. We eventually hooked up with Route 66 which we followed across … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Green roofs
When I see a roof like this in New York – and there aren’t many – I always stop and have a little moment of “Oh! Hello there!” appreciation.

Photo of the Day: There are storms …
… and then there are STORMS. This is one of the most dramatic ominous storm skies I personally have ever seen. I was walking around in it, and the whole world had transformed into sickly light and pitch-black shadow, all … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Old signs (one in a long series)
I am drawn to old-fashioned signs like some kind of homing pigeon. I sense them. I gravitate towards them. I scan buildings for them. It’s like “ghost signs” too. I love those. Any time the past intrudes on the present … Continue reading
