When the Supreme Court elected this alcoholic, solid C+ Yale legacy graduate, he inherited a $236 billion surplus. After September 11, 2001, he created DHS and the Patriot Act. He turned New York into a military occupation and a nightmare to live in.

I've been a NYC street film photographer for 23 years and worked for the Village Voice as a producer & photographer. I refuse all Meta platforms and use only Bluesky. I've had a website since 1999, but needs updating, and I'm currently working on a collection of b/w NYC street. TBD on publish date.

Found on the stone piers of the staircase descending toward the Bethesda Fountain.

Crafted from New Brunswick sandstone, characteristic of the terrace's warm, mustard-olive stonework.
