Today was the annual spring New York Cares Day. I was assigned to shoot at Marcus Garvey Park. This is a park in the heart of Harlem. 10 years ago it was not a place where falling asleep on a park bench was advised. Since then the community rallied around it and it is now one of the nicest “small” parks in Manhattan. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t need love and some extra help. Lots of volunteers from lots of different organizations came out to paint, weed, collect trash, and in general spruce up.

About Robert S Johnson
The times I have not lived near the water have been the least aware and most dangerous times of my life. Without Emmylou Harris - the world would have a less beautiful sound.
