If you live in or frequent downtown New York, and I say “Joe Mangrum,” you might or might not know who I’m talking about.
But if I say, “He’s the guy who does those amazing sand mandalas in Union Square Park” – you’ll know who I mean.
Here’s a few of pics of him in action.
Let’s hear you say that 3 times fast!

Friday afternoon I sent the remainder of 16 years of notebooks & journals on to their next incarnations via a shredding truck. Some would say I should have saved them, but I felt it was time to let the good, the bad and just so-so go.
Svaha is usually uttered when you make sacrifices to the fire pit, but fire pits are not readily available in Manhattan. And the authorities would surely frown upon a home-made one, so friends and I gathered for a shredding party.
the container was brought to a location we could all get to easily with our bagloads

Coney Island has a intoxicating scent all it’s own; grilled hot dogs, 40 kinds of suntan lotion, and a dash of ocean spray.
For the past few years I feared one of my favorite New York spots would be sanitized and plasticized into a standardized amusement park. Fortunately while there are new additions; dear Coney still looks quite like herself..
This group of strollers dressed in 1920′s gear turned heads on the boardwalk.

See you on the boardwalk.
I must thank my friend Will asap. He told me about The High Line. A park created out of an elevated railway? Down Gansevoort Street? I just had to go.
My photostroll began in Central Park, and I didn’t make it down to the Meat Market District till nearly seven. Before I made my ascent I caught a few ground shots.

These photos were taken just before dusk. I will be returning for some light o’ day ones shortly.
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

So I’m strolling through Times Square and happen upon a crowd of people waving madly at what looked like a sign. It’s the one right above Forever.
And of course I have to stop to figure out what makes this sign so especially cool. It took about a minute to realize it was a screen. The zaftig figure in khaki & orange holding the camera is me.
Last night I did a bit of a photostroll along Broadway. I stopped off for a look see at the new MAC store near Lincoln Center. and I couldn’t resist photographing my stuff on their huge screens. Even though I have always bought PC; I am thinking about acquiring an Apple.
I look forward to some interesting feedback on that last statement in comments.

This past Monday I had frightfully good time exploring the Lower East Side with Dr. Phil. I’m right in the middle of reading his book ‘Ghosts of Manhattan.’ Stay tuned for a review.
Here’s a few photos I took during the tour.
