Labor Day Weekend Re-cap
We had a pretty eventful holiday weekend. Reagan’s sister Jody and her friend Chrissy came to visit Piper (and us). During our activities, we went to the flea market (above), saw the last showing of “9-5” on Broadway, and had some really great visits with Piper. ^–Throwing back some grub at Shake Shack ^—Reagan and…

Reagan’s Red lippy
Reagan and I had a really fun night tonight. It rained all day, so I had kind of written the day off and spent most of it catching up on sleep. She woke me up in the afternoon and suggested that we go out tonight. I got ready and was just kind of loafing around,…

Common Sense + Diesel
Last night Common played a show on Bower at Capitale. It was to promote a new Diesel fragrance. I’m sure that if you read magazines, you have seen the ads. Anyway, I was shooting the red carpet for SoJones. It worked out well, since Reagan had a girls night, tonight. It was the first time…

Biggie’s not dead
He is alive and well, riding the A train. I have actually seen this 2-seat dude on the A train, a hand full of times, now. He always has his ipod cranked so loud that everyone can hear it, as he mouths the words and does that head-bob, that only really huge guys can do.…

Revolutionary War Sites
Wally and Pete flew in late Wednesday night (late). That didn’t stop us from getting up with the Sun, on Thursday to pack in a full day. We started out (after seeing Piper) in lower Manhattan. Here is a shot of My dad and brother Pete, at Alexander Hamilton’s grave (at Trinity Church). How funny…

Nice weather for ducks (and ruining a set of bearings)
Yesterday was the final weekend of 2009 Summer Streets. It just happened to coincide with the weekend that my dad and youngest brother were in town for the tour-de-revo-war ’09. It wasn’t the best of weather, in fact Hurricane Bill threw a pretty nasty burst at us the previous night, taking out 500 trees, in…

Three Day History Tour, beginning tomorrow
I read the book “1776” earlier this year. So did my dad and my brothers. It was all part of a plan hatched by my dad. The idea was that we all read the book together, then have a pow-wow, here in NYC to visit the local sites that we all read about in the…

NYC Half-Marathon
I was up bright and early this morning, to get to Central Park in time to get some shots of the NYC Half-Marathon, which started at 7 AM. It is a good thing that it started so early, too, since it was such an extremely warm day. After shooting the start, I booked it down…

La Musica Coolica #37 (DP)
I had kind of forgotten about these guys, until one of my old homies from HS brought them up on FB. So, thanks, Mike! I first heard of Digable Planets on a compilation album that I picked up for free at this record shop I used to work out. The compilation is called “Jazzafunkapyschadelic.” It’s…

Bike Rides and Helicopter Crashes
The plan was to get up super early and go on this epic ride today, for Summer Streets. I had mentioned the plan to our friend Col, the night before. So embarrassingly enough, Reagan and I were still in bed, trying to decide whether or not to go, when Col called and was like “where…
