Details. I look for details that are reminders of another time, another era. They punctuate the landscape of our lives. As I walked down Broadway I saw this magnificent timepiece that adorned the now defunct New York Sun newspaper building. One side offers the temperature, the other the time of day. It made me think of a time when New York City supported more than a dozen daily newspapers. A time when both morning and afternoon newspapers thrived. A reminder of a simpler time when people actually got their news from the newspaper, not the television or now the Internet. Reminders of an ever changing world and anchors to another time. A better time? I guess the jury is still out.

Hi Aud:
Nice shot! Is the clock still there? And the neat thing was your ruminations about how the news business (should be all caps I guess... BUSINESS) has changed so.
Geeze...
