Wandering through narrow passageways the city is shining the river at our feet.
A small globe brilliant then glowing leads the way through passes ever more thin and darkening as we pursue the lodestar that by day transforms into the sun.

The shadows on the street are not the ones in your dreams.

The origin of an idea...lost in the city...dreaming.
And so became the towers.

studying Egon Schiele many years ago...

A city exists on a continuum; buildings are built and torn down. Certain live indefinitely - symbols of something greater than their perhaps mundane use - illustrating value and symbolic significance to present and ultimately coming generations. Others are transformed or eliminated as time moves on and exist as they are only in the present - a night, a day, a week - can change everything.

To document these structures and conditions, both timeless and ephemereal, reveals the meanings and intentions of a particular time, place, and culture (and of the person documenting). A culture can be defined by what it chooses to preserve and by what it chooses to destroy.
