I guess I was ranting about the LAND and all the stuff that gets people all riled up – like not having respect for our backyard or, “that is his problem, I think I will put another mall on this nice field, make a pile of dough, and go back to my nice remote house on the mountain top.”
Well, the issues surrounding our use and stewardship of the land are important, but CITIES are full of challenges as well. Hartford, where I will create my next project is wonderfully complex. There used to be fields and farms and forests where Hartford now stands. In fact the whole valley the city now rises out of used to be a lake – Great Lake Hitchcock - But that was before the glaciers advanced south and busted up the containing hills to the south creating the Connecticut River and , draining the lake. Anyway, it is too late to think about land preservation on Asylum Street. So lets talk about the people that make the city tick, the Jazz, the Salsa, the Rhythm and Blues and some tougher issues too.

Well of course I am going to do it with pictures. And of course I will share them with you as I go along.
I think they should be big because the folks who live in the cities have to be strong to maintain their dignity and pride. I think we need to celebrate that.
