YOU'RE THE STAR OF MY MOVIE

On the 4th of July fireworks and rock n’ roll are must haves:

NYC is snowy today but here’s some sunshine from King Sunny Ade:

Still feeling the slap of winter after returning from Miami, FL and Tulum, Mexico. I’m getting the weekend started right by singing along with The Walker Brothers:

A new pic of jewelry makers Phoebe and Annette Stephens, of Anndra Neen, for the Ladies of Castor & Pollux. I was 30 minutes early so happily found this park a couple blocks away while checking out their neighborhood. While Fall may just be NYC’s finest season (I love some hazy yellow light) I am [...]

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:

Is the 4th of July the most photogenic of U.S. holidays? It certainly is the most fun. Food, drinks, explosives. From the house I grew up in I could see the fireworks streaking over the Washington Monument and the 4th of July is filled with many strong memories: –a Beach Boys concert on the National [...]
