David was near the northwest corner of Dearborn and Randolph. I asked him how he was doing and he said "I'm blessed". He's been out here for two years. Even so, he was a positive, optimistic man.At night he rides the train, because the shelters are dirty and have bedbugs. "I've had some drug problems in the past, but I'm in a treatment program and I'm doing better now. You just take one day at a time....sometimes one hour or one minute at a time...you gotta crawl before you can walk."
David (Michelangelo)
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created in marble between 1501 and 1504 by the Italian artist Michelangelo. David is a 5.17metres marble statue of a standing male nude. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favoured subject in the art of Florence.

David from North Carolina. Was married once and then 'just kind of dropped out'. Doesn't mind working but can't seem to get himself out of his current state. Has lived on the streets of Santa Monica for seven years. Lilah, his dog, keeps him from being lonely. Even though she drives him crazy sometimes.
Michelangelo’s 17-foot tall David lives up to its reputation as a great work of art, and Florence has done very well in displaying the 500+ year-old sculpture in an accessible and visually-pleasing setting. Installed at the Accademia Gallery (rather than the Uffizi Gallery as many people mistakenly assume), the hall is flooded with natural light from a skylight above. While the Accademia is expensive and more difficult to find than the Uffizi, the line is far shorter and amazingly they allow non-flash photography. With the light pouring in from above one can easily do hand held and still get great shots.
From Wikipedia:
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504 by Michelangelo. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favored subject in the art of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the statue was placed instead in a public square, outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence, where it was unveiled on 8 September 1504.
Because of the nature of the hero it represented, the statue soon came to symbolize the defense of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence, and the eyes of David, with a warning glare, were turned towards Rome. The statue was moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, in 1873, and later replaced at the original location by a replica.

No win for David this time. I was headed to the Sacramento
National Wildlife Refuge when I spied several Red Tailed Hawks on a short stretch of freeway side fencing. A wide shoulder enabled me to pull off. After playing the game of "hop to the next post, then the next one" a few times we moved ahead to a further bird, which appeared very interested in a spot in the grass right below it's post. After 5 minutes or so, the bird came down about 8 feet from the car and came up with this treat. I often have a hard time not clipping some part of the bird when this close, but this time I nailed it. Then I cropped the heck out of it to better see the prey. Go figure.
This is my uncle David and my dad during a recent visit to New Mexico. These two brothers have spent most of their lives together. Never seen them have an argument.
