Remembrance of things past
I took a walk around the meatpacking district the other day. I haven't been over there in quite a while and was shocked (although not really surprised) to find a giant high-rise going up right in the middle of some of the oldest storefronts.
In this photo, my back is to the new building and I am looking at a place whose glory days have long gone. The late afternoon sun was shining right on the "B" on the wall and it just gave me the feeling of time passing...too quickly for me to stop and way beyond my control.

Mechanics Alley
Just after sunset, the city takes on a mysterious air...shadows appear where there were none and the light keeps to the street, not daring to venture down dark alleyways.

Snowman, NYC style
I think this is the most awesome snowman I have ever seen. This was taken at a hot chocolate fair on W 18th St.

Mars Bar in the Morning IX
The walls keep changing, but the man remains the same...this and the following photos are of the 'Morning Man' who sits outside Mars Bar on 2nd Ave & 1st Street. I see him on my morning walk and he is one of the few things in this city that doesn't seem to change. The graffiti is different nearly every day, the building next door was torn down and replaced by a condo block and the same is happening directly across the street. The world keeps spinning, but Morning Man holds his ground.

Mars Bar in the Morning VI
Someone broke the gate in the wee hours of the morning.

Could it be a metaphor of the building in the background? A structure of glass bricks, hard and strong, but some day, it too will melt away into the history of the city.
