Our Lady of the Subways Consecrated & Venerated

I don’t like my copyrighted images to be reproduced in books or elsewhere without my permission.
But sometimes I get a kick out of seeing how my documentary photos have morphed into something
completely different. Lady Pink sent me the photo below from an art piece by a collective in Rochester,
NY called The Sweetmeat Co.  I admit Pink does look like an angelic vandal in my original photo taken
in 1982 (see below) but it was a surprise to both of us to see her sanctified in 2010.


Yes—that’s Skeme on the right. You are seeing the full frame for the first time. He was hidden under the
slide mount which was removed for the drum scan for our 25th anniversary edition of Subway Art.
Who knows what may be hidden under other mounts??
