For the life of me, I cannot remember if I have used this picture before, but it is one of my favorite pictures of Abigail so if this is a second publication, cut a father a break. It fits the silhouette challenge nicely, I think.

8-23-12 Down
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night, we swam the Laughing sea
When summer’s gone
Where will we be
Summer’s almost gone
Summer’s almost gone
We had some good times
But they’re gone
The winter’s comin’ on
Summer’s almost gone
John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzareck, Jim Morrison
Since I did “Up” a few days ago I thought I should contemplate the other aspect…

8-20-12 First Principles
“Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Having returned to New York from a vacation that had many unexpected turns (including, it seems, having 5 days of pictures vanish from the computer and the memory card vanish as well), I thought it was time to get back to first principles. So I went to where I shot my first pictures of the Hudson Project on 1/1/11 and then took the same walk down to 102nd Street… (If nothing else has changed since then, I, at least, think I take better pictures and understand my equipment in greater depth now).
8-19-12 Too Early
To end the vacation I thought I would do one last iPhone shot…
Sunset is coming way too early these days.

“Summer’s lease hath all to short a date”
Shakespeare
I shot with my iPhone 4 today just to change things up.

5-28-12 Finally – The Warmth!
I am going to be doing some time jumping over the next few days to “catch up” and show Wellfleet in all its glory but so it goes.
Today was hot, hazy, and humid! Yessssss!

A similar kind of day but not one of the first.
4-16-12 South Ferry/Battery Park
“One swallow does not make a summer,
neither does one fine day;
similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.”
It was a beautiful summer day. True it is only April but I don’t know what else you could call a sunny day with temps in the mid/high 80′s. So as the day’s work ended I headed down to South Ferry and Battery Park.
Walk with me. I started at South Ferry (the transit station where you pick up the Staten Island Ferry) and walked Northwest up to the World Financial Center and back.

- Soon as I find my voice, talk to you all night
- Soon as I get these words, get these words just right
- Soon as I think I see you clearly in my sights
- Soon as I find my, soon as I find my voice
- Soon as I see my road, walk the straightest line
- Soon as I know what’s yours, understand what’s mine
- Soon as I hear in sync, I’ll be singing all the time
- Soon as I find my, soon as I find my voice
- There seems to be something whispering to me
- I don’t hear a thing, all night
- Something is blowin’ around outside
- Something is draggin’ me down
- Soon as I learn these ropes, bound to win this fight
- Soon as I know what’s wrong, try to do what’s right
- Soon as I get this darkness closer to the light
- Soon as I find my, soon as I find my voice
- Soon as I hit my stride, run the course on time
- Soon as I catch your light, do my best to shine
- Soon as I know my part, I’ll be practicing my lines
- Soon as I find my, soon as I find my voice —–Cheryl Wheeler
I visited the village of Piermont, NY today. I have not been here in more than 15 years and remembered it as the funky little village where I first saw Cheryl Wheeler perform at a club called The Turning Point Cafe. Piermont has grown up. Median income grew by almost $27,000 between 2000 and 2009!
But it is still a very pretty village located directly on the river, just over the border from New Jersey. 9W is still a great road and the people were still very friendly.
