Thanks everyone for your comments. I'm never sure how to feel about taking photos of other's art (assuming for a moment that grafitti can be art). I mean, they did the work, and all I did was take a snap. All I'm doing, really, is recording their work. That being said, I'd never had a "feel" for 9/11 like I did during the few days I was in NYC this summer. Reminders are everywhere, and (like this one) they sometimes pop up unexpectedly. Most poignant was coming into the PATH station at WTC. I had no idea that it actually loops around inside the open foundation of one of the towers. Looking up at the blue sky, realizing that only a few years ago one of the world's tallest buildings would have been over my head was a feeling I can't describe. I'm not a spiritual man, but that place is as close to sacred as I've been; I was truly moved. But, I digress. Thanks again for the comments, guys and gals. Now I'm going to post a PAW (since this one was actually missed from last week) that will give a few of you pause... <LOL> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
