When we live in silence and solitude of the land, cities seem startling.

New York City – 2008 -
A couple of questions to ponder…
New York City – 2008 “I’m a child of God, and being a child of God, I’m essential, and no one has the right to limit, or the power to limit, my ability to be somebody.”
Ruby Sales“What would our world look like if everyone believed and were given the ability to be somebody?” Please spend a bit of time with that question. Which then leads to the next question, “Does our inability to believe we are essential lead us to think of others as inessential and treat them as less than?” I find it important to ask myself those questions and then how do I live the answers to those questions? Sorry but I actually asked three questions. 😁

The Confused Look
The Confused Look This is an image from 2008 during an overnight in New York City. I’m not sure where they are from but something in their faces tells me they are not from the city.

The Business Place
The Business Place So who would walk into a bathroom in New York City with his camera and take a photo of the urinal? Ya get three guess. While you are thinking of the answer I would like to share a sign I read once in a men’s bathroom. It said, “We aim to keep this bathroom clean, your aim will help.” Have an awesome day!

Looking Up
New York City As of August 2008, New York City has 5,538 highrise buildings, with 50 completed skyscrapers taller than 656 feet (200 m). This is more than any other city in United States, and second in the world behind Hong Kong. This image of the GE building taken from 5th avenue last November when Kirsten and I had a long overnight. The GE Building is an Art Deco skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan. The 70-story building is the 9th tallest building in New York City and the 32nd tallest in the United States. One thing about Midtown Manhattan is the lack of horizons. You will find yourself almost always looking up.

Streets of NYC
New York City Street Life I can’t let Paul have all the fun with black and white street shots. So here is one from New York City a few weeks ago. Of course this one was not taken with an M6. 🙁 I don’t remember where I found her but she had her own little place on the street.
