Month: October 2010

  • Friday on a Thursday

    I’m starting to get the jitters, big time for the race on Saturday. So, to distract myself, I thought that I would post a couple of photos of our new apartment. Yeah, we were tired of the walk up and all of our old crappy furniture, so we moved into this place. Psyche! These images…

  • Hump day is all upons

    Reagan is still very sickly, so last night I was flying solo at a Drake/Trey Songz show that I was covering. The show was in Times Square, which is my least favorite part of town (a long with mid-town generally). At least the rain had subsided by the time that I arrived. I was able…

  • Tuesday Timekiller

    Try to solve the puzzle below. You can mouse over the image at the bottom left to see what the finished image should look like. Click “play again” to re-shuffle the pieces.

  • La Musica Coolica #82 Kicking of an October full of Guest Posts and Cover Songs

    Cover songs. Tribute albums. I know that there are those out there who have a strong distaste for cover songs. Some who feel like it is taking something precious and personal and corrupting it in some way, and therefore ruining it. There are also some who think why should you try and change a good…

  • PJ Update October 3, 2010 Edition

    We had a very mellow and lengthy visit with Piper on Saturday. We hung out, chatted, watch some college football, etc.. Piper got a little bit confused when I was explaining to her about why Tennessee had actually just lost, when she thought that she had just seen them pull off a victory. After I…

  • Ben, Maggie and the BK Museum

    Last weekend, Maggie, one of Reagan’s good friends that she grew up with in TN was in town with her fiance from DC. It was especially cool to see them because it was our firs time meeting her fiance, despite failed previous attempts.  One of the things that we did was visit an exhibit at…

  • Fantastic Sunset

    [include file=http://www.jakesnewblog.com/wp-content/gallery/largefiles/sunsetpanorama600.html iframe=true width=658 height=650 scrolling=yes] (slide to view) This is an image that I pieced from a few different images. Like an idiot, I had the cam set to AWB, so the WB is a bit different it each, and you can see the seams. I was feeling too lazy tonight, to fix it.…

  • Happy October!

    I posted some kind of creepy photos in the spirit of it being the month of Halloween. They aren’t nearly as awesome as these ones, that I saw yesterday. But, who can compete with that kind of stuff!? Don’t worry, Reagan isn’t dead. These shots are from a session that we did with a painter…

  • Overcast City + Gourmet at Bloomies

    I had a blast shooting Thursday night. It is kind of weird, but when I first moved to NYC, I used to have a lot of dreams about being out, about wandering the streets and overwhelmed. In my dream, it was always night and overcast, with the city lights reflecting off of the clouds. The…
