The constraint of time imposed by the self-imposed necessity of finishing the book on the same day makes it impossible to look too deeply into the images or second-guess my choices.

If all goes as planned, over the winter and spring we will relocate to Stone Ridge, a hamlet within Marbletown, NY, a 15-minute drive away from Kingston and a few minutes more away from Woodstock, New Paltz, and Poughkeepsie. Just 90 miles due north of Manhattan, but much quieter, more rural, and definitely less abrasive than this outer-borough locale. […]
