first two days

Arriving in new york two days early, I met my friend michael in herald square. He has a place in sunset park, which is the southern most part of Brooklyn. On the roof of his building is an expansive view of Manhattan fading into the distance. One of the many things that I enjoy about new york is the city's roof access. It’s more of an accesory than a physical part of the building. There is always a seat with a view.

I covered a lot of ground in my first two days, before meeting the group. A lot of tourist attractions. Walked across the brooklyn bridge. Saw ground zero. explored times square, which is not not new york, it is disneyland. and saw a celebrity (Don Cheadle).

also, while visiting my friend's loft in bushwick, i met an artist who has collaborated with barry mcgee. He had all his work on display in their loft. It was a cool thing to see before visiting the galleries and museums. a prefunk of sorts. so, he gave me a couple of buttons and a link to his website:
