NEW YORK SPEAKS
It’s FAB FOTO FRIDAY and I’ve got some wonderful photos to share with you. First off, I have an announcement; I am introducing a new category of photos and morphing another one into it. Only in New York is now going to be included in New York Speaks. Think of New York Speaks as images depicting the voice of New York City. The City speaks to us; sometimes shouting out loud for attention, sometimes whispering in its stillness and beauty, sometimes informing, sometimes warning. I think you’ll find this to be a great addition to the blog and as you are all well aware, 99,9% of the photos are shot in New York City and more specifically Manhattan. The City is so big and like a Rubik’s Cube, it has many sides. We’re lucky enough to have Murray Head scouring the town for us, capturing the smiling faces of kids playing in this big playground of a city, dogs romping in the park, hawks and owls and the many, many species of birds and flowers that inhabit Central Park, as well as glimpses of the massive architecture and snippets of the City’s varied and colorful denizens.
This week New York Speaks is a reference to a very famous line in a movie shot here in New York City. In Midnight Cowboy, Dustin Hoffman as Ratso Rizzo is crossing a busy Manhattan street and a taxi cab cuts in front of him; He pounds his fist on the hood of the cab and says, “Hey, I’m walkin’ here”. New York is walking, talking and always moving.
WALK Don't! Run

STOP
GREEN Means GO
Mixing It Up, Pouring It Out
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
