I love this. The white tag in the background takes it to another level of greatness.

i've really been getting my photography bug back in action in recent weeks. expect to see more pics in days to come. including perhaps a new portfolio of *graf trux* that will include a few stunning nyc examples of the art.

Did you know that Andrew Marvell wrote a poem "The Nymph Complaining for the Death of her Fawn" (ca.1650), which ends as follows:
Now my sweet fawn is vanish'd to
106Whither the swans and turtles go,
107In fair Elysium to endure
108With milk-white lambs and ermines pure.
109O do not run too fast, for I
110Will but bespeak thy grave, and die.

111 First my unhappy statue shall
112Be cut in marble, and withal
113Let it be weeping too; but there
114Th' engraver sure his art may spare,
115For I so truly thee bemoan
116That I shall weep though I be stone;
117Until my tears, still dropping, wear
118My breast, themselves engraving there.
119There at my feet shalt thou be laid,
120Of purest alabaster made;
121For I would have thine image be
122White as I can, though not as thee.
