John Ruscher

Cobble Hill, Brooklyn: Breakfast with my former editor/boss; talk of Francis Bacon, Twitter, media, community, life, more.

Central Park, Manhattan: Solitary strolling with a Lilys soundtrack; the Central Park Sound Tunnel; Willy G, the “Poet of Central Park.”

Park Slope, Brooklyn: Backyard barbecue with new acquaintances and a few old friends; from sunshine to dusk to dancing; fireworks rumbling in the distance.
