WORDS ON WALLS

         I've been collecting "Words on Walls" for many years and they do seem to generate a
         feeling for the pulse of the city.

URBAN PORTRAITS

   I have a longstanding fascination with the variety of styles as well as the sheer volume of
   urban portraiture that I come across on a regular basis. Here's a small sampling from the
   last couple of years.
   I'd like to add a special hats-off to the many artists, anonymous or otherwise who have
   contributed to this wonderful presence.

MASKS

I've had a longtime fascination with masks, and though many here were taken spontaneously, I've also
collected a few over the years and had friends wear them in sundry city settings.  Happy Halloween!
