A NYC PORTRAIT GALLERY

                   Here’s a brief selection of portraits that were gathered over 
               the past few years from the gallery of the street, with a
               special hatzoff to the many talented artists who have con-
               tributed.

NYC STAGECRAFT

                 I’m still completely fascinated by the random stagecraft that NYC 

                   presents with new sets and characters appearing at regular intervals...

"FELLOW CITIZENS"

                       This is a small part  of a series I call, “fellow citizens”. 

                    Tina Trachtenburgh (Mother Pigeon) and her daughter. 

                    She is an artist and animal rights activist, and her daughter 

                    is a model/musician.

                 This man has been painting his own future fantasy visions of 

                  NYC in a pleine aire style because he likes the interaction of 

                  the street.

                    This young couple was visiting from Buenos Aires and

                     were checking to see if the East Village was still hip.

              Stepping out of a friend’s store recently, I heard a mini ruckus 

              on the fire escape above and soon realized that the smoke 

              emanating was from dry ice and a fan.

WOMEN'S MARCH NYC

  This weekend we joined the Women’s March in NY, a jubilant event that lifted the mood for millions in cities around the country and throughout the world. It was truly heartening to witness the spunk, spirit and creativity of a powerful force, energizing the resistance on day one of what will undoubtedly be a long slog.

This woman said she was going to auction this

frothy faced ogre after the march and donate to

the resistance.

Shepard Fairey posters were a big presence.

This version of Trump Tower was created with a list of adjectives 

culled from articles on Trump in the NYTIMES
