03 Snow Day
Dec 8, 2023

18 Chairs in New York 07
Nov 29, 2023
This one takes the prize for being the most unreal. One night, as I walked down the street, I was lamenting the recent lack of interesting chairs. Just as I said that, an ice cream truck appeared—with a vendor’s chair strapped on side. It was a surreal and magical moment, a reminder that even on an ordinary walk, New York still finds ways to surprise you.
