Coming up broadways big night. ,,,,,,,,,, cowan our cover story deals with children battling with a very grown up issue. Gender identity. Boys or girls believing theyre the opposite sex. Saying they were born this way. Here is rita braver. She could be any 12yearold girl. Hanging out with her mom and sister. But zoe was biologically born a boy. How did you handle it when people related to you as a boy . Yeah, i was like, no, im not a boy. Im a girl. Like, i like the color pink, i breathe like a color im not a boy. First reaction is fear. Not because who she is presenting to be. But of those around us, what are other people going to say . How are they going to treat her . Those are the scary things, what kind of life is she going to have. But zoes mother wont be using last names of the family in this story. Felt she had no choice. A single mom two years ago she accepted zoes decision to live as openly transgender girl. Zoes family and her childhood friends in her town near los angeles have been supportive. But survey of nearly 300 transgender youth found that 89 reported being harassed in school. Going back to the room back here. Z okaye, too, has encured cruel treatment from her school mates. The kids that do seem like theyre good kids they make fun of me. Yeah, just tell us how you is a specialist in the care of transgendered youth at childrens hospital, los angeles. She says that her patients have a condition known as gender dysphoria. The words that we use to describe persistent, discomfort about incongruence between the gender your assigned verse the way that you you internally experience gender. Estimates on the number of Transgender Americans ranges high as. 5 of the adult population. Or about three quarters of a Million People. But more and more young people are emerging as transgender. I see between one and five new trans kids a week. The growth is tremendous like 330 increase over the year of 2013. Just phenomenal. What do you think is happening . Are there more transgender children . Its not so much more there are more, its that trans people are coming out earlier, we also know that among trans people there are high rates of depression, anxiety, social isolation, suicide attempts, all of these things we see dramatically increase in trans youth. But young people that ive seen who socially transition in child had have support of their family this have very different experience. This is this implant now there is new medical treatment for young people like zoe. This is enough to last a year or longer. Doctors have recently started administering drugs that block puberty. The medicine every day in to the persons body. Keeps them from developing unwanted adult characteristics like facial hair for transgender girls or breasts in transgender boys. I decided that i was they can be reversed. But the effects of hormones what transgender youth can take later to look more male or female are often not reversible. Dr. Olson says by then her patients, like dennis, are not going back. In terms of making these changes so that you can go through life as a boy, what is the upside that have for you . Upside is that ill get to have part of the body i do want. At 13, started taking the hoar hone, testosterone as well as puberty blockers. He says he is always felt like a boy, though he was born biologically a girl. But he says being trans has not been easy. Its been a difficult process because no one really would want to be trans or enjoy it. Then theres the prospect of sex change surgery further down the road. Is that something that is a little bit scary to you . Yeah, it really is. Like how much pain it will cause. There are practical problems as whelm california, where he lives was the first state to pass a law specifically allowing Transgender School children to use bathrooms, locker rooms and enoplia on sports team of the gender this they choose. Some School Districts in california with opponents of the Pacific Justice institute, a conservative legal group, claim the law could put an unfair burden on other children. Youre saying under this law that 13yearold or 14yearold girl in a locker room has to change and dress be naked in front of say 16yearold boy simply because 16yearold boy is a biological boy but inside has mental condition and thinks that hes a girl. This is ludicrous and really unreasonable. He argues that while transgender kids should be completed with compassion they should use separate facility. His response use the bathroom, too. He has other issues, his parents are separated, and while his mother and brother have always been supportive his father was not. Finally his mom sent his father a letter. Said pretty much, work with us or you cant be in our lives because the child is not supported doesnt flourish. Dad looked at that decided, well, i can have a son or nothing. Nobody knows what were going through they have today his father, mike, has joined his mother in support group for parents of transgender kids. I was in a lot of fear and anxiety and especially when my kid came out he acknowledges that he hired series of therapists in an effort to convince him to live as a girl all to no avail. I was totally in the wrong area, spent lots of money trying to fix a kid that wasnt really broken. Parents are beginning to heed the wishes of their children at ever younger ages. The 6yearold happily jiming with her younger brother is mati originally named mateas. You mom told me when you were born everybody thought you were a boy except you, right . What did you think . I was a girl. You knew. Yeah. How did you know . I just i figured it out. Matis parents, christie and enrique when she was younger than two going clothes shopping, for example. Wed go to the boy section and mati would start directly going to the girls section. Matis parents say she was miserable when treated as a boy. By the time she entered kindergarten in san diego last year, they felt they had to enroll her as a girl. You know that some people are going to see this story on television and say, my gosh, they should have waited. They should have insisted on waiting longer. Why didnt you wait longer . She was in pain. I dont see that there was really another option. She was uncomfortable, she was unhappy. You cant see a child suffer like that. Nothing has been done that cant be undone. People that would say maybe its too early we should have waited, what did we have to lose at this point . Shes happier. Like all parents we spoke to for this story, christie and enrique told us they decided to go public because they want to help other families facing the same issues. I also want mati to know that its nothing that cant be talked about but also let her know she shouldnt be ashamed or afraid to be who she is. Doctors say some children who identify themselves as the opposite of their physical gender, do change their minds as they get older there is little data on how often that occurs. So far mati shows no signs of reconsidering. Have you ever thought maybe sometimes, gee, might be fun to go back and dress like a boy and be more like a boy . I dont want to. You know that how do you feel . Like a girl. Anything youd like to say for maybe other children who people say, oh, youre a boy, but they know that theyre a girl, anything youd like to tell them. Let them choose. Let them choose. We asked people a question, how much money do you thin y . Then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. I was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. Im going to have to rethink this thing. Its hard to imagine how much well need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. So maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. If we want to be ready for a longer retirement. The bhersheys smores, together is hothe unmistakable taste that reminds us that life is delicious. Cowan now a page from sunday morning almanac, june 8, 1959. A day that gave new meaning to the phrase, the mail must go through. For that was the day 3,000 pieces of u. S. Mail were delivered not by mailman, but by missile. Already practiced transporting mail by truck and train and plane, the post office decided to embrace the missile age. Two metal containers filled with letters were placed inside a missile which was then carried aboard the submarine ussbabaro off the coast of florida. The unmanned missile was launched from the deck. In 2 minutes later the jet powered missile landed at the Naval Auxiliary Air station in mayport, florida, where no the post master general of the United States, Arthur Summerfield unholded the letters ail signed by him and enclosed in official missile mail envelopes. Addressed to a whos who of dignitaries. Summerfield was standing by when president Dwight Eisenhower received his letter the next day delivered by mail carrier. You receipt marks historic milestone in use of guided missiles for communications between the peoples of the earth, his message proudly began. Went on to promise the great progress being made in guided missilery will be utilized in every practical way in the delivery of the United States mail. Well, no. As it turned out that first test of missile mail was also the last. This impracticality only obvious to the post office expost facto. Just ahead i can spot the whiteness of a bone summertime on an island oasis. [ girl ] my mom, she makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon.

Friskies grillers. Cowan its summertime for all practical purposes. And one of those purposes is of course, travel. This morning Martha Teichner takes us along on her travels to an island gem. Horses arrive in the 1500s. Now they far out number the 30something humans who live on cumberland. Its a sliver of an island not quite 20 miles long just off the georgia coast. A wild and magical place of spectacular beauty where nature feels large and people small. Which is why they love it here. This is a place, this Little Church was built by freed slaves, this is where john and carolyn got married. If you ever heard of Cumberland Island possibly its because this was where the late john f. Kennedy, junior, married carolyn bissette. It was extraordinary. There was no light. One candle up here. It was just the most magical moment. Gogo who hag been the eye lapped for seven generations arranged the wedding. By then id known him for 20 years he was very attached to cumberland. A place he knew he could have his privacy, he was very passionate about this history. But this story is about her love of that history. And how it shaped her life. Once native americans lived on the island then the spanish, the french and the british came and went. Their missions and forts gone now. Revolutionary war hero, general Nathanial Greene bought thousands of agers of land in 1783 his wife and daughters graves remain. The chimneys of few slave cabins are all that is left from the islands year ascot ton plantation before the civil war. Its next in carnation was rich mans vacation playground. The story is truly all about family. The family in question, carnagia. Some orchard is 22,000 square feet its monstrous. In 1880s, thomas, iron and steel mag nature andrews boar and partner bought up most of Cumberland Island. Mansions were built for his children including the orchard. He built even bigger house for himself, it was the scene of grand family gatherings. Here was the guilded age in the middle of a wilderness. In 1959 the mansion burned. By then the familys fortunes were in decline but cumberland was in their blood, especially thomas rather ex senntive granddaughter lucy. She passed her fierce passion for the island on to gogo ferguson, her granddaughter. This is grandma with an alligator, not sure its alive but fabulous picture. Growing up gogo, whose real name is janet, spent her summers with her grandmother. She always wore a bandanna and buck knife. Even for a dinner party. She had deer that had been abandoned here that she raised on a bottle. She gave us all this incredible sense of nature. Most people dont have. In 1978, divorced, in need of work, gogo took hanna her small daughter home to Cumberland Island where, like her grandmother she found beauty and purpose in nature. This is an alligator skull, this is from a hump back whale. Her house looks like a Natural History museum. These are all bones . Its bones, this is megladons sharks tooth. Id rather have these treasures then jewels. Except thats exactly what shes turned them in to. Pull your hair back. I think if somehow we can hinge this her love of everything cumberland became her living. She transforms her odd island signs in to jewelry and housewares. Her daughter, hanna, works with her now. Always these buckets outside of our house with bones and things. My imagination, i am madge inned her as a witch, a good witch on cumberland nonetheless. I am hike hiking through the woods or walking down the sand dunes i can spot the whiteness of a bone anywhere. Gogo ferguson is always looking down. Collecting something. As if she cant help herself but when she looks up she doesnt like what she sees. Ive seen so many of the historic structure go to demolition by neglect. Demolition by neglect. One of her examples, the pool house next to dungeoness as it looked then and now. Should should let it fall in. That part of the history is erased forever. By they she means the National Park service. In 1972 to prevent the island from being developed members of the carnagie family gave or sold most of their land and many billings to the National Park service. And Cumberland Island National Sea Shore was created. The problem has been the money to maintain it all. I think were doing an adequate job in some very lean times. Fred recently retired as superintendent of the Cumberland Island National Sea Shore he add mets the park service made a decision to maintain some buildings but let others go. Its always been a struggle to set the priorities on where the funding goes. Just let them fall in . Well, if its too far gone when building cant be restored then its just not a Good Management decision. But even as her familys history surrenders to nature, gogo ferguson finds her sis stan fans here. I cant think of any other place that id want to be. , i get everything from Cumberland Island, my sense of design, my sense ever color. Cumberland is just part of my soul. Cowan still to come. Basketball, parisian style. I love knicks. Cowan first. Back stage at the tonys. , and this journey plays every out all summer long during the Emirates Airline us open series. Dont miss your chance to see some of the top players in the world battle it out to see whos best. 5 weeks. 8 tournaments. 8 cities. Which champion will prevail, which new hero will emerge . This is your chance to find out. Tickets go on sale june 9th at emiratesusopenseries. Com ,, its sunday morning on cbs. Here again is lee cowan. Cowan yes. That was our mo rocca throwing out first pitch between Detroit Tigers and toronto blue jay, is even got it over home plate. Now just hours to go before tony awards on cbsmo traded baseball for broadway where hes sharing his back stage pass. Last year within Neil Patrick Harris took center stage at host of the tony awards he sang. He danced. Even jimed through a hoop. Leading broadways best. In an opening number that stopped the show. If theres anyone who can follow that act, its the man who hasnt just won a tony but as hosted the awards show three times before. Hugh jackman. Are you good host off camera. Mo, thats a very good question. The secret is out i am the worst host. I have been known, actually, to escape my own parties because im tired. People come to your house for dinner theres no opening number . No. Im good at the opening. I will cook. But ill expect you to clean up, is that wrong . Ill start switching the lights on and off about 9 30. Feel free to stay and clean up or you can go now. Jackman isnt just a song and dance man. Here he is rehearsing for tonights show. Hes also xman wolverine. Hes used to flying in to action and thats what he all other actors and crew have to put on this live extravaganza. James monroe nominated for aladdin the musical is one of those numbers. Lets talk about award shows. Sometimes tonys are always a better show. Because regular flat footed film actors dont do anything but smile and clap. Broadway people we sing, we dance, we act. Think of the tonys as 20 different broadway shows packed in to one. A great white way smorgasbord if you will. In charge of this broadway buffet executive producers. Time is of the essence you have to throw this together pretty fast. I tell you what hardest part of the show is the timetable because from nominations to show is one of the shortest period of times of any award show, it really is kind of dash to the finish line. It all starts with them going from theater to theater. To theater. Figuring out how to restage hit numbers to play here at new yorks radio city music hall. Throughout the night how many Different Actors will come to this back stage area . Over 200 actors will be on. Maybe not cost of thousands but of hundreds . Yes. Its probably largest cast on any tv show. Broadway doesnt take a break for the tonys. Most of the shows performing rellly play eight times a week in their own theaters, this week is no exception. Sets have to be built for this one night only show. Needs a brand new boxing ring built outside the city and shipped in to manhattan. Quite the investment. Alex is rockys director. Its a giant advertise the. Absolutely for all the shows in the telecast you always hear about sales bumps the next day all that. Our hope just to keep getting the word out about the great work that these actors are doing on stage. At this point you might be asking, who is tony . Named for actress on twa net perry were handed out in 1947 winning actresses were originally given silver compacts. Actors got gold money clips. Medallion was created in 1949. This is very much like the award that we have today only in 1967 we pit it on a pedestal. The tony awards are given out by American Theater and broadway league. Charlotte is in charge of the league. I think the 1967 is an important reason to talk about. Because that was the first year we were sell advised. Cabaret. You got it. It was something to hold where you were accepting your award on tv. Its on tv tony as have become spectacle names big beyond broadway. Like sting is is singing for a musical he wrote. Neil Patrick Harris is another big name hes not hosting, hes nominated this year for his gender bending performance in headwig and the angry inch. The opening number last your was fantastic, lets see what hugh jackman can beat that. When i talked to Neil Patrick Harris he threw down the gauntlet. Yeah. I always felt he went understated on the opening go back to last your, yeah, i got to tell you, im so tempted in a jokey way to throw down except i know ill lose in every way. It could be career suicide and yet its a great honor. The host smack down i smell reality show hit. I could do that. Can i bring the cause . Yeah. You havent seen xmen, have you . I havent. Hugh jackman doesnt have time to school me on super heroes. Hes got a show to do. Curtain up. Cowan just ahead. At home they carried for decades the secret of their own heroism bloom woooooah.

And you dont recognize his name, thats baseman auto years the government didnt want you to know his flame or exploits. Chester nez was a former ma preen and last surviving member of the original code talkers. 29 young members of the Navajo Nation recruited by the military in 1942 because of their fluency in the navajo language. The code talkers used that complex language as basis for a spoken code for transmitting radio messages throughout the pacific. Confident that the eavesdropping japanese wouldnt have a clue. In 60 minutes interview in 2002 chester nez remembered his very first coded message. [ speaking navajo ] translation machine gun is on your right flank. Destroy. By wars end some 400 navajo code talkers had served in the pacific transmitting life or death messages in code the enemy never broke. And for some 20 years afterward the secret language stayed secret just in case the u. S. Ever needed to use the code in another war. We give these exceptional ma rebounds the recognition they learned. Finally the secret achievement of the code talkers was revealed and in 2001 chester nez and four others surviving code talkers received congressional gold medals, from president george w. Bush. Medals for their ancient language to a crucial modern day use. We did. We won the war with it. Cowan chest errands was 93. We asked people a question, how much money do you think youll need when you retire . Then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. I was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. Im going to have to rethink this thing. Its hard to imagine how much well need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. So maybe we need to approach things differently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. Cowan the sport of baffle may have been invented in america its been exported all around the world including one place you dont often think of when it comes to hoops. Our man in paris, david cure cam mow. Wine, food, fashion. Well, now add basketball. [ speaking french ] i love knicks. The first basketball game ever played in europe was in paris in 1893. During world war i american troops introduced the game to the rest of the continent. By 1921, the first french teams were officially organized. Now, this game pit 7th ranked in white there against they beat paris earlier in the season took an early lead in this game. Theyre going to come in knowing that they can beauties. Daniel ewing is one of four americans on the team he played at duke spent with seasons with the los angeles clippers. Play hard, when we play like that were a tough team toe beat. Ewing typical of lot of former nba players, just as lot of american Baseball Players find extended careers in japan, you find many former nba players in teams scattered across europe. Russia, even israel and turkey. Among other things theyre dealing with new languages. The pair forward for paris he played basketball at michigan state. Hes been playing overseas the last decade. Been traveling for awhile. I like it. I learn new things every day, food, people, places. I enjoy it. I miss my family. Its not only being separated from their families but the pay here not even a fraction of what the average nba player makes. And contracts, well, generally know more than one or two seasons. That means many players dont get time to develop as a team. Like the three americans, ewing and brown have been with the club less than a year. But for european players its a great Training Ground. If you can play over here you can play in the nba. Easily. He spent two years with the nba has been playing abroad the last eight. A lot of talent over here. We have two or three kids that is talented enough to play in the nba. Just need a little bit of grooming and touching up. Speaking of touching up might want to do something about the names. Like lo corral duruwan the choir from we dont have young people, its singing. Maxine covers sports for largest daily paper in france. He says nbas mystique for the french can be summed up by one player. Basketball is popular is tony parker. The name may not sound french and actually his father is american but parker grew up in france, hes now allstar point guard with the San Antonio Spurs theyre squaring off against miami heat in the nba finals. In the nba. Nobody see a french player can play in the usa. Today there are ten french players in the nba. Young french fan the nba is the emerald city. Even though paris won this game 7253 they played fifth for the season disappointing of course built not discouraging or french like to say no pain no gain. Cowan next want people the know what its all about. Walking the walk. Its delicious. And its a great deal. Woman sounds amazing, but shouldnt that be called a blta . Waitress sweetheart, one bite, and youre not going to care what its called. Cowan World Leaders gat ared with world war ii veterans to mark the 70th anniversary of dday. Steve hartman caught up with one veteran who is on a mission to remind us of that historic day every day. Three days a week, 90yearold ernie puts on his support stocking and tennis shoes, lowers himself out of the rv hes been living in and slowly returns to the mission. To become oldest person in america to run across america. Im running the whole thing. Every step of the way. He began eight months ago near san diego hes now about 100 miles east of phoenix. Ernie loves running. If you can call him that. The world war ii vet ceaseless another much greater purpose here. I want people to know what its all about. Specifically this old navy man is running to raise awareness for one of the Unsung Heroes of the war, a ship he served on called lst. It stands for landing ship tank how allies got heavy equipment on to beaches. The u. S. Built more than a thousand lsts during the war but today only one remains in its original configuration. Parked here on the ohio river in evansville, indiana, ernie says if he can run across the country at 90 the least you can do to drive to indiana to see the thing. This shouldnt be forgotten. Eisenhower and churchill made similar remark that its the ship that won the war. Won the war . Without them, how could you take normandy. Which is why 70 years later ernie is out here returning the favor. Out here pretty much by himself. He runs five miles, gets a ride or hitch hikes back to his vehicle then runs another five miles two days later. Hoping to reach atlantic by his 94th birthday. If you think im a crazy old man, if you you can seed, youre a hero. Given that he already liberate the world my mine money is on hero again. How has being a mother changed you . Cowan coming up that whole cliche the dont sweat the small stuff you are too ex hasted to sweat the small stuff. Cowan catching up with actress mini driver. Later a portrait of times square. What does an apron have to do with Car Insurance . An apron is hard work. An apron is pride in what you do. An apron is not quitting until youve made something a little better. What does an apron have to do with Car Insurance . For us, everything. Bentastefree andr, dissolves completely. And unlike other fibers, youll only know youre taking fiber by the way Good Digestive Health makes you look and feel. Benefiber. Clearly healthy. Its sunday morning on cbs. Here again is lee cowan. Mini driver has complicated relationship with matt damon in the 1997 film Goodwill Hunting then again seeking out the easy roles have never been her steel as she sells anna werner in this sunday profile. Youre an idiot. What . Youre an idiot. Shes the woman who always seems to be in control. This American Dream they dont just give it to you with a bow. If we want it we have to take it. Whose characters speak their minds. To look at a thing is quite different from seeing a thing. Very much like actress mini driver herself. Do i look like i need that . Her portrayal of goodwill helicoptering brought her fame and oscar nomination. You say that you dont love me . Because if you say that i wont be in your life. Did you have to audition for that part . I did. It was amazing addition. Producers didnt want me at all. They didnt think i was sexy. Didnt think i was hot. They were probably right. One quality mini driver hag always had plenty of is raised in barbados and london she attended english boarding school. It was there as a teenager she decided she wanted to act. You started envisioning all of this when you were 15, how did you my idea of what it was i wanted to do was to story tell, was to be a story teller. If not like a play wright then be in the play, is that i wrote. I designed and created the idea of being an actor really early on. That vision generated parts on British Television then role as a love struck girl in the 1995 film circle of friends. Look like a rhinoceros. She soon decided to leave england and move to hollywood, a move she believed was made easier by her unusual family background. My family didnt operate in the same societal norms, my parents were married, my dad was married to somebody else, i grew up in a state of love. Albeit unconventional. Probably really good Training Ground to be able to move 7,000 miles away from my home begin a life here in industry that people are like, are you nuts . Clearly she wasnt. Soon she was getting significant roles ena string of film from big night. Let me ask you a question. To goodwill hub hunting. Do you have photographic memory . Its been ten years. To grosse point blank. And while other working actresses might have taken any role that came along she says her roles were all chosen with great care. I read something, i know immediately when i read it, can i apply myself toe this. And is there enough of me that i could lend to this to make it come to life which is what you have to do. Just work on a page. Youve turned down some parts when youve said i dont think im going to be good at that. Yeah. Definitely. Got to have something. A light, that thing in you that makes it interesting to watch otherwise you are just like pretty paint and who the hell wants to be that. I dont. Trust me, run after her now . Why are you being so weird and aggressive . A part she definitely wanted to say yes to was her latest role on Television Series about a boy which nbc just renewed for a second season. Dinners ready. Tell her youre busy. In it driver plays the quirky single mother of 11yearold boy, something shes familiar with because driver is single mother raising 5yearold son henry in los angeles. How has being a mother changed you . That whole cliche of dont sweat the small stuff, you really are too exhausted to sweat the small stuff. Cant carry that baggage. Im carrying a diaper bag and a child. Spending time with 44yearold driver you realize she cant sweat the small stuff because on op top of Everything Else shes a singer and songwriter. She got her first recording contract at age 19. Since then driver has made two cds with producer and musician. Her third cd an album of covers of other artists songs comes out in september. Are people surprised to find out that you sing . Yeah. Particularly at the beginning there was a lot of raised eyebrows, this is going to be a total car wreck. Then the best then to do was invite people to say, well just come hear. Im not going to address any of your kind of snidery. Can you tell me whats happening . She even lent her musical talent for closing title song of another recent project, the independent movie return to zero which aired on lifetime in may. Your baby is dead. Come on driver portrays a woman whose child is stillborn in the eighth month of pregnancy. I knew it would be the hardest thing that i had done, it really was the hardest job. I have no idea how to do it. All i could think of was just show um imagine, youre going in for a regular check up. They found the webs heartbeat its cute, funny and great. How do you begin there and end up with a doctor looking you in the isaying, theres no heartbeat and your baby is dead. When the movies producers ran out of money to complete the film, 700 families whose babies were stillborn gave money on the fundraising website kickstarter the finish it. I get emotional, how its so strange i can see people who theyre empty in what theyre offering up in to the world. You are going to tell a story that might bring comfort to somebody or remind us of our humanity and how what survives is love. Thats it. Thats what we got. We get to see that in one show which is sometimes superficial being like celebrity or actress. Its very good news. Driver says its challenges like those that fuel everything she does. From motherhood to singing to acting. It is fun, it should be fun. If its not fun then youre doing it wrong. I sort of think that about life. I really do. Its too short, not enough time. It should be fun, it should all be fun. Cowan still to come tyne daly caught in the act. Wella, wella, wella, uh tell me more, tell me more. Twizzlerize your summer fun with twizzlers.

If you let times square run around you can absorb the energy. Its quite a marvelous place. Im david cats ensteen im spending a year photographing times square. One thing i notice when i was working there the energy there is primarily positive. Everyone is just happy to be there. And they really want to show that they have been there. They are videotaping, photographing or doing selfies. I love the guys with the flag. I began the project last fall. I visit the square weekly, i usually stay about two hours at a time. There seems to be lot of people in costume or uniform in the square. Either police, sometimes military oftentimes action heroes. The red steps in the center of the square theyre like a stage. Everything is like a little scene out of a movie. Im tim tompkins, what we really do take care of times square. Notice the things that we dont notice bus were here every day. In times square we think of a cross road of the world. David has been around the world and seen ail the different elements and cultures. Ive photographed over 50 countries all over the world. A visit to an elephant orphanage in southern sri lanka. A young man with his chickens. A cockfight in bali. To have someone like that looking at times square we knew wed see things we hadnt seen before. I call this photograph, waiting for lady gaga and it was Incredible Group of faces and bodies to capture, they look like wax figures to me in their seriousness. Lady gaga of the house, i love it. Like a dance to me. Theres lots of movement and energy and it happens all the time. People are always taking pictures in times square, a little bit about exhibition and voyeurism, dave is a voyeur with an artists eye. Historically times square was known as very seedy place that nobody wanted to go to in the 12960s and 70s even in the 80s. One goal is find pockets within the square in the areas surrounding it that still have that feeling of what it was like to be there in the past. In separation of photographing new years eve in times square, i had no idea what i was getting myself in to. There is one Million People that sometimes wait up to eight hours penned in, they all have smiles on their face. Hope your frown turns in to a smile. You can line up, write on piece of confetti a wish. What they do then they add all of these wishes to over ail confetti that theyre going to drop at midnight your wish is down on new york. I plan to continue photographing in times square for a long time to come. Its rare for me to have project or assignment that is only a subway line away.

The reason i like my job have liked it for more than half a century i get to use my imagination. Freeze, you bastard i square to god in fact it is my best piece ever professional equipment. Im pretty sure that all young human beings have at one time or another in their growing up been actors. They have used their imagination to carry them away from painful or confusing situations. Have imagined to be more powerful or beautiful or brave or loving than they are. Then most people stop pretending that is when they need professional actors. You can be so remote, i just know we ail need toe hear stories about ourselves. I do. In 6th and 7th grade we pretended to be horses every day after school we would gallop around stamping our hooves and tossing our manes for hours. The first time i was nominated for an award for professional acting i was in my mid 20s, i was married, mother of my first two daughters. Id been working for nearly 15 years. In the category with me were contemporary actresses and much older revered heroin of the American Theater. Miss eva lagalian i knew she would get the award not only for the work she had done in that season, but for the work she has done and joy she had given audiences over along lifetime of acting. I wanted to be just like her. Inspector, i realize that you are not particularly overjoyed by this assignment because you dont think im up to it. I wanted to be a Long Distance runner. And the shoes, please, promise you wont every tell me where they come from. I wanted to be useful in my profession and keep on whine kneeing and tossing my mane around for a long time.
