Today in the West Village, there was a public hearing for proposed plans to build a luxury apartment building where St Vincent's Hospital was boarded up almost two years ago - on those boards you may be able to read a poem written in familiar ink. The hospital is where Gregory Corso was born, and where Dylan Thomas died. St Vincent's employed 3,500 people and was the only full service hospital in the area. The posters and messages that were written in a public outcry for a vital community service were covered a week later with an american flag and signs that read, "the family of St Vincent will never forget 9/11/01"

ROCK PHOTOGRAPHY
Rarely is live music photography, and even videography, ever as engaging, entertaining, or informative as actually being there live. When I stumbled upon Richard Gin's flickr, I was totally impressed to learn that he is one of the rare few who captures excitement in his photography, regardless of what it sounds like on the opposite side of the lens. Rather than documenting the performance, he captures the essence of the subject, the performer.
