Central Park 2009

That night thirty years ago, stunned, I just sat at home and played “You’ve got to hide your love away” over and over again. I was love sick and now totally devastated as well. I sat there sniffing line after line, thinking that the world would never be the same. I was certain it would get much worse. It was every bad emotion culminating at once. So many tears…Looking back, it wasn’t as bad as Pearl Harbor or D-Day. It wasn’t as bad as 9/11, but it’s still something impossible to forget…

Central Park 2010

I tried to describe this picture to a friend of mine, but sometimes the essence of a photo is lost in translation. I was struck by the fact that this woman, who was clearly on her last legs was every bit as happy as the young kids who have their entire lives to look forward to. They were watching a juggling clown perform his tricks. I see too many old people sitting around this town waiting to die, and found this scene refreshing…
