^–Dash Snow Tribute in SoHo It is such a nice surprise, when I think that I’m going to be working all weekend, then find out on Friday afternoon, that I’m off the hook. I took full advantage and slept in on Saturday until noon, to catch up on some sleep. Reagan was a good sport, … Continue reading Fall’s a comin’→
Piper wanted to make sure that she wasn’t going to be left out of any Labor Day plans. She did this by giving us another scare. When Reagan was visiting her on Friday, she hadn’t been feeling well all day. Her doctor was debating on whether or not to send her to the ER, all … Continue reading PJ Update→
Much love to the b-berry cam. They always come out gritty and distorted, just the way I like ’em. My metrocard is a 30-day ride, that starts counting days, from the first swipe. They come to me in the mail. So, when I get a new one, I just put it in my wallet, so … Continue reading The good and the bad→
I have been keeping a photblog at photos.jakesnewblog.com for a couple of months. At first I really liked it. I liked making the photos show up 1000px wide, and all that jazz. But I really haven’t been feeling it lately. So I have decided to totally abandon the daily photoblog, for a quick and dirty … Continue reading Tumblr→
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 … Continue reading NYC Half-Marathon→
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 … Continue reading Bike Rides and Helicopter Crashes→
The first one caught my eye because it is about a guy who lives in a cave in Moab. It’s called “Could you survive without money? Meet the guy who does.” It was in the latest issue of Details. It is basically about a guy named Daniel Suelo who used to be a college professor … Continue reading Fav articles of the week→
I had a blast hanging out with the guys from Rich Yung, Triple 5 Soul, e.5.Charlie, and the Cargo guys, for the past two evenings at the Cargo show. SoJones got me hooked up with press credentials, and the Cargo guys really treated me right. The music was awesome, both yesterday with DJ Camilo, and … Continue reading Cargo Art Music Fashion Show→
Something really exciting happened yesterday. The WLB clan was expanded by one, yesterday. Reagan and I now have a nephew. My little sister Melinda, who was actually not due for another couple of days, went into the hospital early yesterday morning. Apparently she was in labor for several hours, before the doctors ultimately made the … Continue reading New Nephew→
Next Monday and Tuesday evening, I will be covering the Cargo fashion art and music trade show for SoJones. I’m pretty excited about it. So feel free to check out SoJones next week for some hard-hitting photo and literary journalism (the part about “hard-hitting” is tongue in cheek, of course) by yours truly.
