Like the video, I do wonder why you used New York, much of his poetry was written about Chicago, he worked as a bricklayer and helped build many of the old skyscrapers in Chicago.

This was the best footage I could easily secure with rights. Got to go with what you have. Very interesting about his work on the buildings. Makes sense as he really captured so much great energy. Had to have been in it to know.
