It was Bike to Work week last week; I got in three commutes (usually, I might get one, so it was a win for me!). Gonna try and keep those numbers up!

Spring is springing, though it's still a little chilly for my taste.

This morning on my way to work, I got caught up in that whole power outage on the MTA situation, so I decided to go get breakfast at Nagel's Bagels while I waited for it to sort itself out. I was sitting, flipping through a copy of The Economist when this man came and sat across the table from me. He asked me if I knew what Riker's Island was, and proceeded to tell me about the 33 years that he's spent in New York State's various prisons. His name is Gary Prince, but he goes by Prince "like the singer that just died". He's been locked up since he was in his 20s - he's 61 years old now. He's met all of the infamous prisoners - David Berkowitz, Colin Ferguson, Mark David Chapman, and others during his incarceration. He's been released for about a month, and is trying to navigate a very unfamiliar world. I asked if I could make his portrait, and he agreed, and asked if I would put it on the internet, so people could hear his story.
