All in The Age of Trump
Signs are everywhere in New York City, taking many forms. Collectively, the signage reveals our collective consciousness. On this trip, the signage brought together Halloween and the Presidential election, which complemented each other. One produced anxiety, while the other reduced it. Here are my thoughts about the signs and images from daily walks.
Once again, I was on 6th Avenue in New York City’s Greenwich Village for the annual Village Halloween Parade, where over one million spectators and participants joined me, everyone of us seeking a brief respite from the two-year lead-up to next Tuesday’s presidential election. Here are my thoughts about and observations from the festive evening.
On September 11, 2023, I spent a good portion of my day at the 9/11 Memorial Site in New York City and in the streets surrounding the site. Here are my observations about and images from my experience.
Today (February 19, 2023) I attended the Rage Against the War Machine on the National Mall in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Here are my thoughts about and images from the days events.
I spent two days at the 2022 Illinois State Fair last week, attending Governor’s Day and Republican’s Day, as well as enjoying the celebration of the Illinois’ agricultural industry, the Midway, the harness horse races, the assorted exhibits, and even some of the food, including the ice cream. Here are my thoughts and the images I captured.

Nevertheless, I had an opportunity to further think about what it means to protest, including the paradox that abortion-rights activists now face. Here are my thoughts and images from my two days in Indianapolis
I was crazy enough to fly to Houston for the NRA’s Annual Convention and the protests that would surely materialize. It was a fascinating experience on many levels. Here are my thoughts and images.
