Walk the City

相机更新换代，于是多了一个随机游走城市的理由。已经出门采风过几次，准备陆续将照片整理结集往相册里放。想起电影“The Brave One”里Jodie Foster饰演的Erica Bain开场的那几句台词，抄来放在这里点缀一下俺这个新扭腰客的相册，似乎也还应时应景。来纽约定居整一年，从最初的茫然抗拒到逐渐喜欢上它，这个城市在从里到外慢慢的包容同化着我，仿佛珠贝和砂粒日久天长的艰难磨合。一年的心路里程由镜头慢慢来诠释。


Erica: I'm Erica Bain. And as you know I walk the city. I bitch and moan about it. I walk and watch and listen, a witness to all the beauty and ugliness that is disappearing from our beloved city. Last week took me to the gray depths of the East River where Dmitry Panchenko swims his morning laps, like he has every morning since the 1960s. And today I walked outside the acres of scaffolding outside what used to be the Plaza Hotel. And I thought about Eloise. Remember Kate Thompson's Eloise? Eloise who lived in the Plaza Hotel with her dog Wennie, her parents who were always away, and her English nanny who had eight hair pins made out of bones. That Eloise. The adored brat of my childhood. [blurs into other ramblings]
