Getting my outline together for the Aqueduct Murals in Queens. This jockey was photographed in 1941. I plan to paint him about 20 ft tall. There will be an opening reception at the track on Nov 23 with all the artists involved. Follow the updates here https://twitter.com/AqueductMurals

I have been reading up on the work of Imogen Cunningham a 20th Century photographer with a less invasive documentary styled work. I was immediately drawn to this image and quote and wanted to share it.
"For it is in this inadequate flesh that each of us must serve his dream, and so, must fail in the dream’s service, and must parody that which he holds dearest. To this we seem condemned, being what we are. Thus, one and all, we play false to the dream, and it evades us, and we dwindle into responsible citizens.
It is only by preserving faith in human dreams that we may, after all, perhaps someday make them come true” — Imogen Cunningham
