Today, New York, tomorrow, THE WORLD!!

The wonderful Washington Square Park, with the famous arch we've all seen in the movies. This was a great park on a great day. Lots of musicians out playing for people, including a guy that was playing not one, but TWO TRUMPETS at the same time! Incredible. Up the walk from him was a three piece band that was filming a music video. I can't convey to you, dear reader, the depth of the cheesyness of these guys. The singer looked like a low rent Ricky Martin, the drummer had on a black mesh semi-see-thru sleeveless shirt, and they guitar player kept doing the "strum the guitar then shoot your hand up in the air like the rock GAWD you are" kinda thing. Directly opposite them was a young guy just whailing on a sax. I mean this kid filled the musical void created be the douchebags filming the video. No one was paying him any attention. Lots of people were watching the video shoot. Goes to show ya, there's rubes everywhere. Even Manhattan.


The Statue of Liberty. That was quite a thrill to see, even from far away. We walked down to it after going thru Ground Zero. Even though it's sort of just a construction site now, it's anything but. I didn't like it, and didn't (want to) shoot any pictures. Anything I could shoot is already in magazines by now anyway.



Times square. Crossroads of the world. I was asked if I wanted to buy a Rolex. Though I'm not sure how the guy would have spelled it. I'm guessing at least two "x's"
















This, friends, is a cell tower. Not-so cleverly disguised as a tree. As you can see, it sticks out just a bit, I would say probably more than a regular cell tower.

Seriously..........!!

This shit has got to stop. If I see one more inbred idiot with some redneck treacle printed on their car, I may have to run them off the road and beat them senseless(full?).

Forgive the bad picture....

I was sitting in traffic through a little neighborhood last night, looking in my mirror at this lavender (yeah, lavender) toilet sitting on the curb and I was struck with this thought: fathom if you will the bathroom that this monstrosity came from. The presence of a purple toilet suggests the rest of the room probably matched. I suppose if I were sitting in an entire room that color I probably would shit myself, so maybe it all works out.

This is my friend Aidan.

He is super cool and rather enjoys the tire swing.

I got nothin'

I'm sure none of you want to read on as I continue to gush about this pudgy little person, so I will hold off.

I've wanted this shot for a year.

This is the appropriately titled Mud Bay (see below). I drive past this delta every time I go into Canada and have always wanted to shoot it. The timing (or weather, or light) has never been right until last night. It's at the very southwestern tip of Canada, looking south toward America.

The magic of photography....revealed!

The sad fact is that to get this picture....













You sometimes have to stand in this much muck.

No title would do it justice.

And what could I possibly write here that you are not already thinking?
