       Excerpts from the
       One Hour Photo Series

10/23/03     Walked into a downtown branch of the unnameable chain booksellers.
                     Happened to be thinking about what I'd read at a "Celebration of Home"
                     reading. Confused by the word "home" I hadn't thought that New York
                     City was the topic.                        

This is Where I Live
