The Homestretch

The marathon is sometimes just as long for the spectators, especially those of us without tickets or special
access. The picture on the left was taken just a few hundred yards in front of the finishline; The picture on
the right a few hundred after. The middle picture shows the walk around the Great Lawn we had to traverse
to get from one side to the other. The finish line is in the middle there somewhere.

I'm still not used to the digital camera. I like the spontaneity but the focus and framing leave a great deal
to be desired.

Civil Disobedience

New York City, East Village, Summer 1996: Mayor Guiliani evicts 13th Street Squatters








The past election got me thinking about the various ways we express our feelings about our government. (On one hand an orderly election, defeat graciously conceded, victory accepted. And on the other hand... )
I lived in the building I took those pictures from for 8 years. I was not a squatter, yet I was treated as if I was a vagrant by the occupying police force and dragged out from the apartment where I paid rent. Luckily I grabbed my camera.

Another article from the squatter perspective: Squat the world.
