I look out over 62nd and Columbus, which is a nice Manhattan intersection because John Jay at 61st and a Catholic church at 60th keep the building profile down. Plus, there are trees. So I get churchbells and a good view of storms coming up or across the Hudson. Right now, a starling in the callery pear downstairs, traffic on Columbus, an ambulance parked in the bike lane, and a single pedestrian. Sun reflecting off the condo towers.

....to open the machine up is a funny and ridiculous feat...had my friend ryan power help me....the optigan actually saved our friendship because as tempers flared, holding the machine balanced by both of us, having a disagreement, almost coming to blows but the beautiful optigan seperated us until we calmed down.
