Inspiration in New York City

[my view from Staten Island with lines drawn in]

Roaming the streets of New York City yielded so much inspiration for me. My entire time there I couldn't stop conjuring up one idea after another. It was as if the City was speaking to me everywhere I turned. From under the Manhattan Bridge to Kurt Vonnegut's favorite bench in Dag Hammarskjold Park, I soaked it all up in an effort to continue pushing forward as an artist.

But it was the time I spent at Ground Zero that reminded me how lucky I am to be alive and able to have the right to speak my mind as an artist. It reminded me not only of those who lost their lives but of our great country and the way in which we push on in the face of adversity.

Thank you to the kind people of NYC who willingly and unknowingly found there way into my camera's viewfinder. Stay tuned for a video that I am putting together from my visit.
