The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states.
The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor.
One collision and the whale is dead.
We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

2008 was rough. In the midst of devastating flooding, during a time when I was unhoused, we found out that the bookshop's lease would not be renewed.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark.
