Tuesday, November 10, 2020 - City facades: Twenty-ninth Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenue.

This is turning out to be the week of city facades. After hosting the voices and work of Elizabeth Lerman, Kate Alsbury, Jade Brown, Rebecca Nison, Kate Gina, Rahil Najafabadi, and Kellie Coppi last month; and then adjusting to these new, clear, and calming energies after the election, I’m taking a bit more time to breathe this week, and writing less for these Dailies.

We’ll be hosting a number of new voices over the remaining weeks in November, along with new pieces by at least a few of the authors mentioned above.

This evening’s city facade, along with the last two days worth of photos, were shot in and around the west side of Manhattan on Sunday, the day after the election results were called.

Following the jubilation and joy that filled the city for almost all of Saturday, I’ll always remember the next day as a twenty-four hour interlude of euphoria: the sky: crystal clear blue, the temperature: an airy high sixties to mid-seventies ––– without a trace of humidity, and the city: sleeping in and resting peacefully with the promise of new leaders taking hold of United States’ Executive Branch; a new President and Vice President in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, waiting in the wings. Or, said otherwise: a new day, and a new dawn.
