We spent the weekend in Fire Island with some friends; a last chance at beachiness before the true changing of the seasons. We were lucky enough to have landed a lovely house on a beautiful plot in the Pines (thank you Shmul), and even with rain on Saturday it was such a gift of time… Continue reading Scenes from the Pines
Ben brought this *magical* fifty year calendar for me from Amsterdam.
Pennants flying in the breeze from the masts of boats at the harbor, Governor's Island What a beautiful day was Sunday! It's been 400 years since the founding of Nieuw Amsterdam, and on Sunday the city had celebrations of various sorts going on around the city's harbors– including free ferries to hop on and hop… Continue reading Harbor Day– Holland on the Hudson
Here are a few snaps from my trip to visit Kelley in Baltimore– a smattering flavor of the oddness and utter silliness that tends to pervade our visits; laughing til it hurts. Concocting plans like the founding of The Institute of Fun (for Higher Learning)*. Or, upon seeing a hideous and depressing structure (eg The… Continue reading A Baltimore weekend
Here is a detail of a three-shilling note (facsimile); one of several found in the "Interpretive Center" building of the Minisink Battleground on the banks of the Delaware River, near Narrowsburg, NY. We were up that way over the weekend to visit Ben's family for the weekend, and a bunch of us hiked up the… Continue reading Three Shillings. To counterfeit is Death
I'll be the first to admit: I don't follow fashion– not in an active pursuit, anyway. I enjoy flipping through the glossies during my pedicure and I've always loved fashion photography, but most of my (limited) pool of knowledge over the past ten years can be attributed watching Sex and the City. I've had a… Continue reading CFDA Fashion Awards
The flora around the city has gone mad with delight from the abundant rains we've had– the streets lush and green. A bike ride yesterday into Ditmas Park, and the plane trees looming well above the rooflines in some streets– cathedral ceilings of shade and flickering leaflight. Last night a piano party at a friend's… Continue reading roses and brownstones
Some interior shots of the beautiful and expertly tiled Weather Up, on Vanderbilt Ave in Brooklyn. Ben and I stopped in on Saturday evening, having not been back since last May when my dad was in town. Ben ordered one of their specialty cocktails and they go for the true mixologist flair. Very nice. We… Continue reading images from the weekend
Yesterday went to the small park-outside-the-park where the neptune fountain is; shot some footage of the water ripples and snapped a few of the man himself. Laughing, maniacal; trident-wielder in the spray. I think I'm coming down with the same under-the-weather/cold that ruined Ben's weekend. Just in time for the ramping-up of this project, too.… Continue reading waiting on a render…
Our two giant plants in the windows of the front room, enjoying the sun. I've been typing dyslexic all day. Weird. Memorial Day weekend– first great exodus of cityfolk to the hinterlands; civic start to the summer months. I've spent a fair amount of it working, but today has so far been for things of… Continue reading Summer things
