Corporate Motto

Excerpt from a private note to my ex-partner's step-daughter...

"I guess that's possible but our real corporate motto was "Learning To Cope" which was a message we found spray-painted on the door to the freight elevator in the building where we had our studio. We built this great photo studio on the 4th floor of a decrepit industrial building in TriBeCa (NYC) and we completely refurbished the place so it was a high-tech palace. The only thing we didn't touch was the door to the freight elevator, where we left the spray-painted legend as-is, it just kinda fit our mood at the time."
