On the steps of the American Museum of Natural History, NYC

I am just returned from a two-and-a-half week trip to Croatia. I decided on the spur of the moment as I had some time between gigs and Croatia seemed like a country in which I could see a reasonable amount in that time. It was a great trip. I was there on the off-season, so the cities and towns were quiet, but I felt that I managed to get a real sense of place without needing to jostle with summer tourists for space. I dropped off my film on Tuesday, so photos should be forthcoming.

Since returning, I'm still wanting to see as much as I can. I've been spending all my free time visiting museums and galleries, heading to the upper east side or Chelsea each Saturday and Sunday. The great thing about visiting other places is the desire to see and experience, and it's fun bringing that back to the city in which you live.

I shot this a while ago while waiting for a friend of mine at the Museum of Natural History. My friend was slightly late or I was early and so I just watched the street. This man was seated on the steps, smoking a cigarette. Pedestrians passed, each minding their own business. I took a moment to take this photograph.
