There is energy, a vibe, a visual elixir of life that emanates from this urban skin. For most, it goes unnoticed. The streets are the stage; the buildings a backdrop to it's endless dance macabre.  Sometimes silent and in shadow: raw, dark and   teetering along the razor's edge.  Other times it is resplendent with brilliance and   bathed in heaven's light. You may hear this energy, smell it, taste it and even feel it brushing past your soul as you stagger or dart to your next engagement. One must stand still and open one's eyes,  however,  to truly SEE the spirit's that   move amongst us!                     j. wayne kaulbach
