wednesday
 another
 water tower 
water tank
 another 
from the jury break room window

 thats columbus park
 down there
 its on the edge
 of 
chinatown

 when you serve regular jury duty
 you go to chinatown
 for lunch
 or
 walk a bit further to little italy




 my last day as a grand juror was monday
  it will be 8 years
 before
 they can summon
 me
 again

 i admit
 i went
 into this 
with a chip on my shoulder

 i had wanted to serve
 but
 in the afternoon
 not
 the morning session


 i also
had
 some
 preconceived impressions
 of 
my fellow jurors

 i have to admit
 for the most part
 i was wrong

 it was a positive experience overall

   i took this photo
 as
 we were leaving 
at the end
 of 
our last session 
on 
monday 


i used
 that
 buz sim effect
 this time 
not
 because
 it wasn't a focused photo
 but
 because 
grand jury is a secret process
 no one should be identified
 we only knew one another
 by 
our juror numbers 

oh and i didn't sign either of these photos
