    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…

    Wednesday night I was helping Reagan with some images for a guest post that she is doing for some style blog. It was one of those step-by-step hair style things. Anyway, we had just finished it up, and I was breaking down my camera, when she called me from down the hall to come get…

    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.…

    Yes, Best Coast. You may or may not remember, Reagan and I saw them open for Kid Cudi earlier this summer. We both really liked them. They are kind of an odd combo: Two cat loving middle-aged white women, and a dude on guitar that looks like he grew up listening to metal. They are…

    We had a really good weekend. I was able to see Piper 3 times, which is a rarity. We spent some good times hanging out with friends, and the weather was great all weekend long. Of course that meant that Monday had to come with a vengeance. The shot above is a view from my…

    First of all, the funniest thing ever: When we arrived Saturday afternoon, Piper was just waking up from her nap. She was kind of playing with the little device where her G-tube (feeding tube) connects to her belly. We didn’t think much of it, at first. But after changing her diaper, clothes, she was still…

    Grade= F Milage= nominal This week, I earn a solid F. I didn’t evaluate last week, but I earned an F then also. I was going to give myself a pass for last week, since I scored my fastest half-marathon time, to date, on Sunday. Alas, I was a total POS this week. I was…

    Friday was awesome, because I was able to spend the morning hanging out with Piper and Reagan. Piper recently got some new overalls, and Reagan was excited to try them out on her. They were especially good during her walking therapy, since Piper’s normal britches tend to fall off. Reagan got a shot of me…

    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…

    Feel free to skip this post. It is nothing more than a long complaint. I am sick for the 9000000th time, this year. I knew it was going to happen when my office mate came in coughing her lungs out last Thursday. It is a little bit ridiculous. I was supposed to run 11 miles…
