Photographed on my last day in New York City, taken by an artist on West Broadway. I was with my nephew Marcus, absorbing the last smells of a city that left two years of previously undefined emotions that completely changed me.

"In a time of globalization and multiculturalism, the human race as a whole has become curious about the different cultures and beliefs of other peoples. Although we make a conscious effort to understand and explore our surroundings, we must look closer at the familiar and explore the world in multiple dimensions. By doing so, we will become aware of the more obscure environments, languages, and subtle traits of humanity. Likewise, we will realize the constant change of all things, thereby neutralizing our own pre-conceptions. This closer exploration will ultimately create a more compassionate and enlightened human race; one that is better able to understand others and the importance of our world, for now and for many years to come."
