I look for art everywhere I go. Art just happens whenever anyone puts their mind to it and wants to express what they are thinking, feeling, seeing or reacting to.

Guardians
October 2, 2009. Wall Street is guarded over by the Sentinels of the Canyon. High above the street, these two shrouded and hooded figures watch over the activities of all below and around them. What secrets did the sculptor lock into them that they point to the east, but lower their heads to the rising sun? What do they shield behind their robes, a strength of arms or wisdom?
As I travel around the City I am always aware of the art around me, in all of its forms. I enjoy watching the lamp posts as I pass by, the sides of buildings, the sidewalks, the sky, almost anywhere. Sometimes I spot artists I know from Union Square, Soho and elsewhere in the City.
