wall st. wanderings
little alleyways that reek of history, conceived of in the minds of money and built by hardened hands of those with less. architecture that sweeps and juts, decorates and adorns. the buildings themselves seem to be suited down, just like the brokers and day traders and analysts who rush about these busy streets. exploring the area, there's a sense of these endless layers of action and interaction.. lots which is left unsaid or unknown. i wonder what goes on in this building or who works in that building and what it is they do. while much of manhattan has the feel of youth to me, the financial district is strictly salt 'n pepper hair, distinguished accent, oxfords and hush puppies, french cut and french press. oh yes, and that bothersome construction and those workers. dear lord, you wish they could keep things tidy around here.
