Meditation Series: (7/8) Selected Doorways, NYC (1990s)

My photo of Brooklyn Public Library’s enormous Grand Army Plaza entrance did not immediately reveal the wealth of visual imagery present on the columns and the ironwork above the doors. I wish I had taken pictures of each detail: they so beautifully represent all that is available for everyone to read in the public library (unless […]

Meditation Series: (1/8) Selected Doorways, NYC (1990s)

This series will feature 8 different doorways from the photos in my archives. Please […]
