Over New York
Pronounced Ova NaYawk. The title and image imply an overhead view of NYC, but it really is homage to my Grandfather, who passed on his love of NYC. A longshoreman on the docks in Bklyn, every day he looked at the city's skyline. After retirement he would go into the city at least 4 or 5 times a week from our home in Windsor Terrace. He'd say to me in his thick Brooklyn accent, "C'mon kid, we're goin over NaYawk", which meant the city. And he passed on that love of NaYawk to me. Thanks Gramps!
