REMEMBERING 9/11
Remembering 9/11. I awoke to the phone ringing."Are you okay, turn on the TV, the Twin Towers are on fire." I watched it on TV, watched as the two towers crumble one by one. I did not know what to make of what was going on at that point, did not realize that thousands of people died. I lived on the corner of Prince and Elizabeth, I ran up to the roof of my building and watched the plume of smoke cover the sun, the smoke coming from where I would normally see the Twin Towers. These pictures I took that day and the following days after the attack stayed in a box on my shelf. I never looked at them for years until this morning. It is surreal to think that it has been 10 years since it happened - Cedric Angeles. Copyright Cedric Angeles / Intersection Photos 2001

SFFD
Last week an elite group of men and women graduated to become San Francisco City Firefighters. 5000 applications were submitted for 35 positions. It was the first graduation in five years. And one that felt especially poignant given the loss of two firefighters from station 26 back in June. Congratulations to the graduates, especially #1073.

Heaps of Plastic
My show SURFACE opens tomorrow at Cavallo Point in Sausalito, CA.
In researching what I want to discuss at the opening I came across a couple of statics that show exactly why single use Plastics are so bad for our Oceans and our world. Between 500 billion and 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed each year. 1 million bags are thrown away every minute. And about 200 billion water bottles are consumed annually or 5,000 a second. *There needs to be a cultural shift in the way we think about plastic. Every piece of plastic that has made it into the ocean in the past 50 years is still out there somewhere. - Brown
