(Apr 18) I am continually asked why I am doing this. It is hard to explain.

this stirs up memories of how f. scott fitzgerald described manhattan
When you enter the city by car on the Long Island Expressway,

the skyscrapers poke up past the roadbed
you rise as you approach Manhattan,

after paying a shakedown fee
Then you go down under the river

it continues to escape me
I’m still trying to get the perfect shot down here

maybe someday, sometime.
I don’t get many opportunities, due to expense and infrequent auto travel into Manhattan.

my skills are not
I think the ubercamera is up to the task,

sssshhhhhaaaaakkkkkeeeeeey shake
for now, here is my simulation of an earthquake during a tunnel trip.

that's a $90 shirt
