Code of the Streets is indeed something to live by. No you don’t have to be from a big urban center like Brooklyn as in my case. It  could just mean getting a good grip on what rules or laws written and even more important: implicitly govern in your world.

Warm thoughts and prayers to Guru formerly of GangStarr who just underwent heart operation. Code of the Streets- GangStarr

Three ladies/generations go for some morning exercise around the park lake. The youngest spots the photographer.

An old man patiently passes the morning from his vantage.

Group exercising during the first days of the Year of the Tiger.

Sly and the Family Stone were big stars during my youth in NYC. They were also way ahead of the curve on racial integration in their band. Everyday People is one of their best songs. Hope you enjoy it.

Beck-Nobody’s Fault but my Own is a beautiful song evoking the Beatles and Pink Floyd with a little bit of  Donovan thrown in for good measure. One reason Beck is so good to listen to-like the 70’s music that so influenced him, is because he’s not afraid to experiment and take chances.

Dragon wall-what have you or would you draw or paint on your wall if you had a burning desire to express yourself without words?
Cloudy day-the sun peeks through the palm trees rustle. Don’t always need Coppertone weather to feel good. Nice to have some down tempo moments to keep the mix flowing along.

Reacting to the primaries…

Sorting-move the parts around like pieces on the chess board. White and black intersect,royalty,military and the common foot soldiers all moving around. Take another look and make your move.
Rows-hard, soft,smooth,rough. Layered in laminate,thoughts to contemplate.
Fingers-so simple, so vital…at times can appear monolithic.
Frames-letting light through. Providing context and perspective. Sometimes thick, sometimes thin…sometimes missing!
