Earlier this week I was in Washington, D.C. covering the March for Israel, which drew over 290,000 people from across the country. Here are my thoughts about and photographs from the day.
All in Public Declarations
Chandler Bing
While I was in New York last week, Matthew Perry (aka Chandler Bing) died. While photographing the Halloween decorations in the West Village, I also visited the intersection of Bedford and Grove streets, the location of the building where the six friends resided and frolicked. Here are my thoughts about and images from the intersection.
Gobsmacked in Brooklyn
I spent Saturday at a rally outside the Brooklyn Museum, followed by a march that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge. By far the most newsworthy aspect of the day was the Hassidic Jews who marched with the Palestinian Community because the they believe Israel is in the wrong. Here are my thoughts about what was a very tiring day, as well as the images I captured.
Time Trippin'
Yep, I returned to Madison, Wisconsin this weekend for a wedding. It was too beautiful Sunday to spend the afternoon driving back to Chicago, so here are my thoughts and images from my on walk around the city and the campus. Time Trippin’.
9/11
On September 11, 2023, I spent a good portion of my day at the 9/11 Memorial Site in New York City and in the streets surrounding the site. Here are my observations about and images from my experience.
The Walk
Experiencing New York City in all its glory on a 10-mile walk. Punk rock, Cage basketball, Skateboards, Speed Chess, Jazz Musicians, the Barbie Cafe, 9/11 Memorial, Playing in the Fountain, and Assorted Other Stuff. Here are my thoughts about and images from the day’s walk
On the Vanguard
I spent four mornings checking out the WGA, SAG, AFTRA strike in New York City this week. It was then off to an afternoon of tea and cake. Here are my thoughts about and images from the writers’ and actors’ strike.
Peruvian Protest
While headed north from the Lower East Side, I found myself in New York City’s Union Square today, where about 25 demonstrators were holding a rally in support of Peruvian President Pedro Castillo Terrones, who was ousted from office and imprisoned during a December 7, 2022 coup. Here are my thoughts about and images from this demonstration.
