About Me
- c.o. moed
- MY PRIVATE CONEY presents IT WAS HER NEW YORK, the short stories that accompany the work-in-progress video and photo collection of the same name (myprivateconey.com - media link - IT WAS HER NEW YORK). The stories and the media explore the tender rubble that holds both my mother, Florence's and New York's soul as one disappears into old age and the other into gentrification. All are real observations and/or experiences with very little tall-tale telling. Except when it makes the story better. Please visit myprivateconey.com for additional information and sample works.

A poem in pictures!
A sturdy chair. A quiet place. Yet something seems restless. Incomplete. An interesting photo.
you could do a picture show with these captions. Your photos envoke so much..
beautiful, claire... lovely work going on here!
A stool-so simple and elegant. My Grandma also sat on this type of seat--looking out on the passing parade and doing her own security watch as well. I love your blog Claire. It is always inspirational.
ahhh, just one thing missing......
