Manhattan - Day 53

Hiked over to 7th & 18th this morning with a large box of clothes on my shoulder. After dropping it off at UPS - destination Dana Point California, I headed down to the village where I had a large coffee and a equally large doughnut that I had no business eating. Walking home up Washington, I spotted this mostly worn away ad on the side of a building.

And the colors just keep coming. Later I turned up 20th toward the gate at GTS and was greated by this view. Just had to snap a pic.

The 100 films . . .

In this blog I'll be writing about the 100 films that shaped, in some way large or small, who I am today. They won't be presented in any particular order and not all of them will make this list because they are great or even particularly good films. Perhaps some will be represented for a tiny, seemingly insignificant scene or line – something that I carry with me each day, while others will be here because I can slip into them like a well worn sweatshirt that you slide on when you're feeling down. Some will be works of art that continue to challenge, enlighten, or amaze me while others will be included simply because they continue to entertain me viewing after viewing. To others, some of films that will appear here might be considered great while others . . . well . . . might not be considered worth considering. Anyway, here it goes. Hang on my friends, the new year is here and I am off and running.
