I added a couple new pictures to my recent section. Above: Rory O’Flynn at Olana in Hudson, NY. This pic is from Thanksgiving. It took me a while to get it up but it brings back fond memories of overeating, long walks, apple trees, and a sense of wide open spaces. My wife wrote about [...]
Less Pain on the Train
I had my first iPad sighting yesterday. A guy in his late 30s watching a movie, on the 2 train, with noise canceling headphones. He wasn’t exactly gloating but definitely proud. I’m not sure if I will get one but it seems like a very good way to ignore the terrible light and shoulder to [...]
Cruel Irony
“Lowlifes – get a real job.” Here I am having quit a career in graphic design thinking how smart I am when, out of the blue: sucker punch.

I found this amazing image on Matt Eich’s site. Mr. Eich shares a bit about the Ledet family alligator farm in Louisiana over at the Luceo Images blog.
Breaking Upwards
I shot stills for a couple of days on the set of Breaking Upwards. They made a feature for $15,000 i.e. you should probably do something really cool with your spare time too. This blog is entitled “You’re the Star of My Movie.” It’s kind of like a song title… somehow it just seems right. For [...]
