In another example of deep pockets doing good work, Levi’s has opened a free photo studio/lab on Wooster Street, where the Deitch space used to reside. I dropped by yesterday to check it out. I normally try to avoid NY freebies that are open to the public, because they tend to be a bit too … Continue reading Levi’s Photo Workshop at the Old Deitch Space→
Reagan and I went to the closing party for the RE:Form School Exhibit last night at the St. Patrick’s School in SoHo. It was a very cool project, meant to raise money and awareness for art programs in public schools. In addition to featuring pieces created by students around the country, some heavy hitting contemporary … Continue reading RE:Form School→
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 … Continue reading Hump day is all upons→
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 … Continue reading Ben, Maggie and the BK Museum→
[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. … Continue reading Fantastic Sunset→
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 … Continue reading Overcast City + Gourmet at Bloomies→
In May, Shepard Fairey worked with 100 kids from the CityKids Foundation put together a wheat paste mural that was installed earlier this week in WFC (which happens to be the compound that I work in) So I stopped by and snapped some images for Cutratedmag. If you have a sec, this short video is … Continue reading Fairey + CityKids at WFC→
Totally kidding, about the “already” part. Holy cow, torrential rain makes a week drag and drag, no? Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be shooting the event below. So, please (pretty please) feel free to come by. I mean– Bloomies, you know where it is. And.. free Heine. How can you turn that down? Post script: I. Hate. … Continue reading Is it hump day, already?→
The weather was awesome today. I was able to spend some time on Governor’s Island, this morning shooting some promo stuff for a boot company. It was my first time back to Governor’s Island since the Clicquot event. The setup was at picnic point, on the north end of the island, and the catering crew … Continue reading GI and NY Harbor→
In case you haven’t noticed (and you probably haven’t) LMC has been on a several week long hiatus. It isn’t that I have run out of music to share. It is just that I feel like I have been distracted/uninspired for a while. Today isn’t even Tuesday, and I’m still not feeling super inspired. But … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #80 (Billy Idol)→
