Fively

Linus Gelber

For those who always suspected I have a screw loose, here's your proof.

It's my birthday, and I need to get out of the house. Down on the Lower East Side I have a photo shoot with my friend Sean, and afterward I amble around lower Manhattan, thinking over the last year and how far it is from the one before. I feel I have no center. This shiny wheel catches my eye, and the nestled paths of spokes and orbit - or is it slings and arrows? - fits the day.

A few birthdays back I jotted this on a napkin as I looked over Manhattan from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade:

On Circle Day I watched Monster Island
From across the reach of water.


The ongoing and evolving Utata Thursday Walk project is a straightforward one - take the camera, go for a walk. I do that. It clears the head.

This image is from my third Thursday outing, which I generally do on Fridays, but which happened on the Wednesday this time out. Thursday is, after all, a state of mind; and this is my birthday anyway, so if I say it's Thursday, it's Thursday for me.

See the rest of my Thursday Walk images in the Getting the Hang of Thursdays set.

In a happy confluence of events, Utata does a lightning weekend project called Hot Wheels - this image fits snugly there as well.
