is a book of image + words, made in a calendar year in the mid-00s when Sam Truitt was a full-time business writer for a New York-based publisher of commercial real estate research, statistics and analysis. The business was just west of Fifth Avenue on the north side of Thirty-Seventh, and our writing group was located initially on the top floor. I composed the state strips on the roof, which had an excellent view of most of the Empire State Building. In the spring our group moved to the fourth floor, removing easy rooftop access. I continued to compose intermittently through the day, yet now standing on the fire escape at the back of the building. That area also served as an airshaft. state/shaft shaft/state's text is a direct transcription of words spoken into an Olympus W10 recorder, that allows you to take photos while voice recording an avi file. While their order here is somewhat arbitrary, the way the image + words are arranged in this series is not wholly. This book includes a QR link to a video of the original recordings.
