Deb Bowman at the Underground

Catching my pal Deb Bowman sing at a local pub. She is going places! She’s doing a luxury cruise circuit for a year and a half after this. (Sorry my phone camera is so crappy.)

Sometimes you’re at that eye level.

stupid tree shot

I was setting up at Lincoln Center (after midnight) and got booted so I took these shots across the street at the small park across the street. This was a couple weeks ago before the spring leaves came in.

Yesterday, I watched the movie, Fair Game, which is a not very fictionalized account of the Valerie Plame affair. I’m both amused and disgusted with reviews in various places that say the movie is complete fiction and the reviewers trot out all the fake GOP talking points (i.e., Plame was a CIA secretary) and rant about how anything with Sean Penn isn’t worth watching because he is obviously a communist.

Anyway, Ms. Plame in the DVD commentary says at one point: “Look at that! Great shot. Whole lotta nothin.'” She’s talking about a desert shot in the film but for a second, I felt a little vindicated in my aesthetic.

All Knotted Up

tree roots

So I have the friggin back wall at SIP. Now I have to friggin decide what to show in big size.

Not Exactly Tunneling

Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center

The lights are on but nobody’s home. Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, with my good pal no one there.

Hoboken Doesn’t Smell Anymore

I lived in Hoboken, New Jersey for three years in the late 80s. Wow, the whole town smelled. My building and the PATH station smelled the same. Like dead swamp and mildewy socks and dead insects. Well, that is no longer the case.

Night Daffodils

The early blooms are out of course and I locked myself out of my apartment the other night but I had my camera and there wasn’t much wind so I fired off some (ha, 10+ second exposures) night shots. We’re getting hit by that massive rainstorm so a lot of these yellow friends will be trashed already. More bloomin’ to come.
