NYC in the Summer: June 2005

I never thought I'd be in THIS place in the summer time. The first thing I wanted to do when I got here was leave..and yet, somehow, the energy of the place has intoxicated me. Instead of wanting to avoid the subway at all costs, I look forward to my daily sojourns to and from the office...iPod and good book in hand. These are my moments of tranquility....amidst the masses, pushed up against stangers of all backgrounds, makes and models; this is where I find peace.
