It's my blog's first anniversary. Many many thanks to all the friends I have made during this remarkable year: thank you for inspiring me with your commitment to your own work despite the demands of a busy life; and thank you for all the kind, generous, funny, thoughtful and supportive comments you have left regarding my own work. I have learned so much about my city, about the world, and about people and our ever-changing relationships with 'place'. As a way of saying thank you, I am sharing this street shot taken in NYC and the poem I wrote for it. From the bottom of my photoblogging heart, thank you.
Forget the stones from the river:
their polish is from
the silvered abuse of their
natural born faults;
their secret folds
unfolded by the tumult and
tears this craven river cries
as she searches for
the spring of her own pure soul.

3: 30 PM, Chicago Avenue. Blues Fest begins tomorrow out in Grant Park and since the Rolling Stones have always famously given credit to the Chicago Blues sound for influencing their music, thought I'd throw this in as well...
