Faces of the Recession

As one of the many who have been laid off and affected by the Recession when I came across this blog by Photographer Andy Cook, I was greatly moved.

Photographer Andy Cook, was laid off in December of last year and decided to hit the road and document the many faces of the country who have also been affected by the Recession.

F Train

I took this picture of the workers on the Downtown F Train at the Sixth Avenue station yesterday with my Iphone. Such an awesome New York moment. It couldn't be more better...well if only I had my proper camera!

Sunday afternoon at the MET and Roxy Paine

Last month after I dropped off my Grant application to the Brooklyn Arts Council in DUMBO, I decided to take the opportunity to enjoy the last of the great weather; so I stopped by the park at the Brooklyn Bridge. This little girl playing by the water seemed to perfectly capture beautiful day.

I get really frustrated with young artists or designers who yap about all the great ideas they have and don’t take any action because they’re waiting for a manufacturer, sponsor, or whatever to help. Or even worse, they’re waiting to “make it big” to realize these projects.

Endless Possibilities.....

So recently I have been completely overwhelmed by some new personal possibilities in my life. While this is a positive situation, I think it might be driving me completely crazy. My mind is contently ticking away wondering where these possibilities might lead me. I'll leave it at that until the reality of it actually reveals itself to me. Until then I'll leave you with a piece I recently finished for a show in Boston.
