Greatness is achieving a goal & going through the journey of reaching that destination. It is about discovering your best potential and realizing that learning takes place daily. Greatness demands that we go that proverbial mile and traverse unchartered waters with courage & a determined spirit. Approximately 8:59am, July 31, 2007

On our way from New Zealand to England in 1972. We stopped at Los Angeles , California. My Dad spotted the then British Boxer Joe Bugner and asked if we could have our photo taken with him. Joe was returning to Britain after signing the contract to Fight Muhammad Ali for the Heavyweight Boxing championship of the world. My Dad asked a man who was with Joe if he could take a photo for him ? and asked if he knew how to use the camera ? Joe laughed and said "yep he (the other man) knows a bit about cameras. And so he took this photo. turns out the man who took the photo was Monte Fresco and yes he knew a bit about cameras..... and me in the middle... I didnt know who any of them were :-) but it was a piece of history I suppose...

Fear Not is a community-based art project that creates an anti-fear environment both on the street and in art spaces. The ongoing exhibition will include over 150 images of Fear Not Indirect Mail that has been delivered on the streets of San Francisco, Oakland, Brisbane, Austin, Chicago, Nashville, Kapa’a, and Wailua in the United States, Karlsruhe in Germany, and Florence and Milan in Italy, and London in England will be on view. Fear Not Indirect Mail involves participants writing anti-fear messages on postcards that are turned into magnets and placed somewhere out in the community (on bus stops, street signs, etc.) for someone else to find.
Jennifer Maria Harris: "I have shown my work in traditional art venues for many years, but I have also always created artworks that exist outside of those spaces and that invite and involve people from all walks of life, even some who might not feel comfortable in, or interested in, a gallery or museum.
In the fall of 2007 I read an interview in The Sun magazine with Irish poet and philosopher John O'Donohue. The interview focused on questions of spirituality and creativity, and along the way it mentioned that the phrase "Do not be afraid" appears 366 times in the Bible. I imagined the person who had gone through over a thousand pages looking for that one message, and it made me think about how we are constantly making choices with regard to filtering the information around us, whether that's information from the Bible or another religious text, from friends and family, or from our own thoughts. That made me interested in creating a project that would make those choices more transparent.
As human animals, it is natural for us to choose to focus on and communicate about what to be afraid of. In our current culture, where we are surrounded by an overwhelming amount of information from around the globe, this results in an equally overwhelming amount of fear-oriented messages, both in our mass media and in the information we share with each other.
The Fear Not project seeks to address this culture of fear, which cuts across communities and contributes to the divisions in our society, by inviting people to consciously deliver anti-fear messages to each other and create a culture of Fear Not. The messages tell people not to be afraid, but I don't think the power behind the message is in the words. It's in the reminder that we can choose to see those words in the world around us. It's in the reminder that we can then choose to pass those words on. It's in the fact that someone else chose to share them with us, without regard for our race, religion, or political beliefs.
In all of these ways, I hope to emphasize how the power to shape our emotional environment, and the kind of world in which we choose to live, lies with us, not with the media or anyone else.

this is one of those rare times I am speechless . . .
so much to crow about, but nothing to say . . .
“A rooster crows only when it sees the light.
Put him in the dark and he'll never crow.
I have seen the light and I'm crowing.”

This view is looking directly west from the Empire State Building in New York City. There are two busy streets below, the busiest, to the far right of the picture, is West 34th Street and to the left of it, West 33rd Street. The photo was shot in August 1986.
What attracted my attention the most looking in that direction was the round building (mostly hidden behind another building which is part of the same complex). This is the famous Madison Square Garden where countless world class shows and sporting events took place over the years. I remember being riveted to the radio (that event was not televised) when Muhammad Ali fought Joe Frazier in what became known as the fight of the century on March 8, 1971 in that arena. Couldn't watch it then, but thanks to YouTube we can watch it now! Here's a sample: youtu.be/Jt-vjZTVLV0
I was also a hockey fan when I was a kid, but by the time the New York Rangers moved here in 1968 (that's the year the MSG opened) I had lost interest in the sport. That happened in 1967 when the NHL expanded from six to twelve teams. For me, hockey was never the same afterwards!
The tall building on the right is One Penn Plaza built in 1972. The two smokestacks to the left of MSG seem to be gone now (not sure what they were). The little church in the middle of the greenery is the Holy Apostle Episcopal Church, built in 1846. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
The title fight between Sonny Liston and Ali was scheduled On February 25, 1964 in Miami Florida. Ali was not widely expected to defeat Sonny Liston who was favorite to win (7–1 odds). When Liston failed to answer the bell for the seventh r...ound, stating he had a shoulder injury Ali became the youngest boxer ever to take the title from a reigning heavyweight champion, until Mike Tyson won the title from Trevor Berbick.
