New York feels a little emptier without him around. Looking at this photo–Miles, his squint like worn leather, his fingers holding grace like something fragile and rare– it reminds you of something you just don’t see anymore. And the rest of us– we're left wondering: Who was driving that truck? And all we can do is sigh: Death sure knows how to steal the best stuff when your'e not looking.
