I think we'd better button our lips before those who aren't lucky
enough to live in our fair city and can't even enjoy a nice pastrami
sandwich come after us with swords and daggers.
I haven't spent all of my young life here. For a few years, I lived in
other places. But now, like Governor Arnold, I'm back!
I don't have a body of work that shows the changing city, but I do have
some others that I've posted to www.gallery.users.org/v/hankpix. I'll be
posting more photos in the future. Comments and criticism are always welcome.
By the way, maybe we could get in touch with all the LUG members who
live in the Big Apple and get together somewhere for a few beers and a
couple of belly laughs.
Cordially,
Hank

Hello Hank,
Haha, a fellow New Yorker! Wow, 71 years in the city, congratulations! Do
you have a body of work showing the changing city? I would love to see your
work, well, at least the edited version of it. ;-)
Yeah, New York is still a wonder to me. There is no place like it in the
country. I love E.B. White's essay on New York, he does capture the spirit
of the place.
Ah, the food, the restaurants are amazing. My wife and I treat ourselves to
some fine dinners once in a while (Daniel, Aquavit, etc) and always come out
feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. Besides that, it is great to live in a
place where everything is delivered (food, wine!), and you don't have to mow
the grass or shovel snow! I've done enough of those things.
Now, with a few analog and digital devices (sound and vision), life is
pretty good!
Regards,
Larry

Hello Everyone,
Well, no matter how you look at it, NYC is still the Center of the
Universe...at least as far as many of my fellow city dwellers and I are
concerned. After all, where else can you find the best cheesecake in the
world, the best knishes, and restaurants like Katz' Delicatessen on Houston
Street? Not to mention enough great hamburger joints and other eateries to
clog your arteries and cause you beg to for more--even while the paramedics
are carting you off to the emergency room to have your stomach pumped.
Okay, go ahead and shoot me down. But I can't help myself! I was born here
71 years ago, and I'm sure I'll leave from here when I finally go to Leica
Heaven. But not too soon, I hope.
Regards,
Hank
