After the orthopedic surgeon has finished making me scream for the day (hopefully, no surgery will be scheduled), I plan to visit the subway entrance at West 77th and Central Park West to capture more images to share with you. There are at least ten more images at that entrance, unless I photograph each and every one of the ants that are on the wall (there are approximately ten of them alone!). I also plan to finish photographing the marine mosaics on the downtown subway landing. After that, I will be moving on to another NYC subway station to photograph that for you.

Well I hope that you don't have too much cause to scream.

I wonder how many people notice the art as They wend their way to work.
