The book is stalled a bit, as we’re looking for the right paper for the edition, which needs a 19th c. feel; the papers looked a bit modern and slick and had to be changed. I’ll keep you updated.

Staten Island.
28-Jul-10Now we have a Cover…
17-Jul-10The Staten Island book is coming together… now we have a cover for it. Looks great: Staten Island’s best mix of the 1880s, 1890s, and today. You can order and get a look here.
The Book.
21-May-10You can pre-order the Staten Island book now. I am excited by it; it looks to be a thing of beauty. The illustrations by Lesley Chen are extraordinary. I’m told I’ve pre-sold three copies, thereby exceeding all expectations.

Still Plenty of Snow Up Here…
28-Mar-10Photo taken March 27th, 2010 on the flank of Table Mountain, not far from my cabin. While there is not much snow at the lower elevations, higher elevations of the Catskills, as you can see above, still have more than four feet of snow on the ground. The snow is solid, too - you can [...]
Time: 2010. Place: New York City.

Molokai.
21-Oct-09The Vatican just canonized Fr. Peter Damien, which gives me a great excuse to remember some of the good parts of my trip to Hawaii last year. I spent most of my time on Molokai, the small island where Peter Damien lived. Really all I need to show are images, which are extraordinary enough. And [...]

Helen Luke and Dante.
15-Oct-09Time spent among people reveals just how difficult it is, even for the most worthy and competent, to be capable of real love and relationship. Developing this capacity is in truth the sole bifocal commandment of the Christian religion, all others being mere ancillae; and it is also the goal of Jung’s school of psychoanalysis, [...]
