I'm not the first to fall in love with New York City, and, no doubt, I won't be the last. This vibrant and ever-changing town offers something for everyone. It can be as big or as small as you make it. Walking her streets can enlighten and inspire. And it's that inspiration, wisdom, and creativity that I hope to share in this cloud of connections. It may interest no one but myself, but that should be enough.
Here I plan to document my city, as I find it. I'll show off the strange and old refuse that could become the remarkable and new treasures of the next person to walk by. And to kick things off I'm showing off a recent sidewalk image I came across on a cold Sunday morning. It was on a corner of 5th Avenue, near 8th street or so.
I was with my sister, who I'm proud to say I've recently gotten to know a bit better. We were walking off a late and wild night, taking in the sites of my neighborhood. This angelic image caught my attention. I can only speculate as to the artists intentions, lifestyle, and ultimate vision. That speculation has kept me wondering about this person for the last couple weeks. Who was it? Did they intend for this chalk image to stay for a day? A month? Did it come out just as he or she expected and hoped? Did he or she know that I'd happen upon it? Was I somehow destined (if anything can be destined) to see it? And, if so, what was I to learn from it? Perhaps, I was meant only to learn that I should share my pondering with others. And so I am. If you know of this artist or image, please share with all of us.
Awesome!!!
