How a High School Librarian in Abilene Fought Back Against Moms for Liberty

I entered this profession just as the storm clouds of the current book-banning push were starting to gather; now I’m in the middle of it.

Fortitude, Part III.

#photography #monochrome #blackandwhite #urbanphotography #urbanlandscape #statue #sculpture #publicart #lion #NYPL #library #nyc

Black and white closeup of Fortitude the sculpted marble lion at the north corner of the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. The photo is shot from the side and slightly behind, emphasizing the sweep of the lion’s mane and the texture of the marble. The sculpture occupies roughly the entire left half of the image, with Fortitude’s head turned away to gaze at the facades of high-rise buildings in the photo’s right half. Some dark, slender tree branches stretch overhead.

Fortitude, Part II.

#photography #monochrome #blackandwhite #urbanphotography #streetphotography #urbanlandscape #statue #sculpture #publicart #lion #NYPL #library #nyc

A black and white photo of Fortitude, the sculpted marble lion on the north corner of the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. While most images of Fortitude justifiably feature his striking, handsome face, this photo is taken from the side and slightly behind, featuring more of the contours of his flank, haunch, and tail as he surveys the high-rise buildings across the street. Dark, leafless tree branches push in from the left and arch overhead.

Fortitude, Part I.

#photography #urbanphotography #monochrome #blackandwhite #statue #sculpture #publicart #lion #NYPL #library #nyc

Black and white photo of Fortitude, half of the pair known as Patience and Fortitude, the sculpted marble lions guarding the entrance to the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. The photo is taken from the foot of the sculpture’s granite pedestal so that Fortitude looms over the viewer, his head wreathed in a sweeping mane and his huge forepaws extended forward, as he casts his stern gaze up and left. Behind him is a glimpse of the library’s ornate marble facade and some other high-rise buildings beyond. A distant pigeon soars overhead in a cloudy sky, directly above the lion’s head.
