From 22 Words - Photos of New York City Storefronts Taken 10 Years Apart

The wonderful Blog, 22 Words, posted great New York City photos last April (2014), taken 10 years apart in the exact same spots. This view is very touching. An example is the NW corner of Bleecker St. and Carmine St., just before 6th Avenue in the image above.

First Personal Blog Entry

Welcome to the first entry of my personal Blog. For a long time, I've wanted a forum for my own words... to write about subjects such as opera and classical music, cinema (esp. Asian cinema), other music, arts, culture, theater, pop-culture, food, travel, trends, politics, life in general and more. I look forward to providing many entries in the months and years ahead!

Note that this first entry comes while I am recuperating from an illness that caused my first-ever (in my life) hospital stay. 6 days of IV antibiotics to fight an infection. Yuck! I'm home now, still too weak to do anything particularly constructive but my mind is going a million miles a minute so I'm climbing the walls.

Again, more to come... :-)
