I had the good fortune to attend today’s abortion-rights rally and march in Washington, D.C., which was dubbed Bans Off Our Bodies. Here are my thoughts about the demonstration, together with my images.

Calumny of Apelles
[Click on the photograph to enlarge it and commentary about a painting for our times]
I couldn't resist a snapshot of Sandro Botticielli's The Calumny of Appelles in the Uffizi. It is a painting for our time. On the right side of the painting sits King Midas on his thrown. He is painted with jackass ears. Two women flank him. One is Ignorance and the other is Suspicion. Midas' outstretched hand points to Slander.
The Eiffel Tower

Let me riff for a moment as a photographer. To photograph the Eiffel Tower or not to, that is the question. I have moved 180 degrees on that issue.
Trump and the UN: Gridlock

The church that is one block south of Trump Tower is offering sermons on the Apocalypse during the United Nations General Assembly week. Seems appropriate, given that Trump is residence at Trump Tower.
