The West Indian Day Parade is massive. If you haven’t been you should put it on the to do list. Loud music, bikinis/feathers/glitter, jerk chicken, lots of people, lots of people dancing, flat bed trucks full of speakers. These pictures were taken when people finished the parade and I concentrated on the bikinis/feathers/glitter aspect but [...]

Here’s a new portrait I took of of beauty expert Jessa Blades. See her interview at the Castor & Pollux Loving Blog.
Julia Bainbridge
You can read about Julia Bainbridge, whose portrait I shot, over at the Castor & Pollux LOVING blog. We had a great time hanging out in Prospect Park. You can’t tell from the shot but we were surrounded by a healthy amount of bags from the Farmer’s Market.

Hot Child, Summer in the City
SO SO HOT here in NYC. Here’s how Kerrilynn and I beat the heat: Campari on the roof! Music from the summer of ’66:
One speeding ticket later
It was a road trip in the sense that Kerrilynn and I covered 450 miles… but not in the true sense as it was driven in less than 48 hours. I have a bad habit of shooting pictures while driving. The pictures are usually pretty bad but it looks so good whizzing by at 80 [...]
The 4th of July
Is the 4th of July the most photogenic of U.S. holidays? It certainly is the most fun. Food, drinks, explosives.
