A visual metaphor for the way my brain feels after this work week:

Long, Slow Burn

Carolyn Drake

I've always been fascinated by the awesomely named Door to Hell, a natural gas field measuring 69 meters wide near Derweze, Turkmenistan that has been continuously burning for over 40 years.  A sight to see on my never ending Travel To Do List.

Though one could say that while the last few days here in NYC have not been as hot, they've certainly been as inhospitable.

more than that, it encourages them.  Photography is about being exquisitely present."

Where We Live

The silhouettes of the police along Canal Street as we marched onto the West Side Highway, eventually snaking around cars, some honking their horns in solidarity.  I would later see three people getting arrested for nothing other than marching in the street, an attempt to intimidate the crowd.  The arrests were random, unprovoked, and chilling.  There is an electric feeling running through New York City.  This city, she is weary and restless for change.

“It wasn’t until I started reading and found books they wouldn’t let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else.”

John Waters

As good a reason to read a book as any.
