Coney Island, Sweeney Mfg, the only bridge that is perfect, the corner of 7th and 9th, Atlantic Avenue, at the facepainting booth at Fifth Avenue Street Fair, this boy was too beautiful to paint, but he wanted to look like a lion, I could barely bring myself to paint his face. Below you'll see Prospect Park West and Clover's Barbershop in Park Slope.
Growing up in the greater NY area necessitated many crossings over bridges and tunnels by car to visit relatives. As a result, these structures impressed themselves into my psyche, or so they say, giving way to the recurrent nightmare of being in a car on a bridge, hurtling toward some other shore, when the bridge begins churning, melting and finally snapping so one outcome is being spit out into some unknown abyss. The other outcome is waking up.
