Keep on lying

Despite attending NYU as an undergrad, I never spent too much time looking at the monument in the park.  Wandering through early Friday morning, I met a man meticulously photographing the structure from different angles.  I ask why he picked this subject today, and a smile beamed across his face - "Not many folks know there are several hundred bodies buried here..." he explained, "so I'm working on a project to document it."  We spoke for a bit about his project, and why he was pursuing it.  I acknowledged his subject, "A potter's field, right?"  He nodded, and I mentioned that I will keep an eye out for his project once it is published.  It was a great conversation, and I was grateful to witness the passion he felt for the subject.
