September 18, 2010. How long do you think this art form has been around - mosaic in one form or another? Here, the work predates and echoes the work on the street above, in the East Village, where street artists have taken over street lamp bases, door lintels, and sidewalks. The portrait of the birds, nearly noble, not seen as the pesky scavengers that dive bomb strollers on the sidewalk.

THE LONELINESS OF PIGEONS
January 3, 2010. These birds couldn’t have cared less how close I came to them. It was cold and they were alone, trying to catch the warming rays from what little sun there was on the steps of the 33rd Street Post Office. The soft grey and purple of the chest feathers gathering just at the round of the breast, the bill tucked into this feathery mass. The bird to the right is almost a perfect cold weather pose and seems to be the only outward looking bird, maybe aware of this human mass approaching it – with no outstretched hand to offer sustenance.
