In honor of the impending hurricane that’s about to wipe out life as we know it in NYC (for myself, I’m hunkered down with Jim and assorted family members at my uncle’s apartment on the Upper West Side, where we’re in possession of tremendous amounts of junk food, cheese, Carr’s water crackers, single-malt Scotch, and pitchers full of tap water), I’m delighted to share this series of four photos I took during a slightly different New York act of god: the late July heatwave that hit at about 107 degrees. This kid is one of my personal heroes.
