Union Square, intersection at 14th Street—this afternoon, sun’s shadows seemed perfectly aligned and perpendicular with Manhattan’s North-South streets today. I think many New Yorkers sensed this, but just didn’t admit it to themselves.

Nydia
spent the weekend down in DC and visited the National Gallery which is one of my favorite museums. it’s chuck full of masterpieces; the main rooms are all lit with natural light; and there’s a beautiful austerity to how the art is displayed. this is a photo that i took of Randolph Rogers’s marble statue entitled “Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii”. carved in 1860. photography of a museum’s general collection is usually permitted. it’s the travelling shows that prohibit photographs.
400 Blows Brooklyn-style
St. Giglio Festival in Williamsburg began last Sat. with the ceremonial procession of a seven-story high statue topped with St. Giglio himself. It’s a stone’s throw away from the Lorimer St. on the “L” train.
