A Bowery tribute to Keith Haring

Joe Newman — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:19:49 +0000

This Keith Haring tribute mural in the Bowery section of New York City at Houston and Bowery. Haring painted the original there in 1982 but it only last a few months before it was painted over. The recreation was painted in May to honor what would have been Haring’s 50th birthday. It was scheduled to remain up until Dec. 21, 2008. I took this shot while I was in NYC during the Thanksgiving weekend.

D.C. voting rights rally

I’ve been shooting a lot of protests lately. This picture is from the Veterans Day rally in support of giving D.C. representation in Congress. In D.C. we pay taxes but don’t get to elect anyone to Congress. I think they call that taxation without representation.

The view at sunset from my friend Mike’s property in Montvale at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western Virginia. Mike, who has 50 something acres, uses this cabin as a barn, though it was a hunting lodge at one time.
