I was looking all over the base of the Mother and Child statue for a signature or title but couldn't find anything besides a sea of sea-creatures -- so by supposition I'm going to say that Mother and Child are waiting for their sea-faring man to return (((with a sack full of fish for dinner))).

Jesus Christ!   Getting to and from work is probably difficult enough for this fellow without having to ponder the deep deep meanings of giant oversized Christmas tree ornaments.

Prices aren't low, but I suppose if I worked in the Financial District I would make the occasional lunch-time dash over to the Ferry Building to grab something tasty.   I suppose I would have to wear pants without holes in the knees.

Ha ha, that's great - the guy contemplating the Xmas tree decorations. Nice one!

The fellow surrounded by giant ornaments does look more than a little intimidated. He could be reaching for a weapon.

When we go out together, my wife threatens to make walk several steps behind so she can pretend she has no idea who I am.

Love the shot of the guy walking between the ornaments! Brilliant. I wish I'd taken it. It speaks to me of the way the holidays just kind of land on us and dwarf us, no matter how we feel about them. Wonderful!!
