Care for a Swim?

LIC Photo Trip

LIC is probably the only neighborhood where I haven't been overwhelmed by the number of photographers prowling the streets (and no, I went before 5 Pointz said farewell).  The overground trains + mix of old and brand new make for some fun B&W shots.

Fire Island - Beach

Yes - we did make it to the beach during the day (and I managed not to get sand in the camera!)

Mr. Sunday

A favorite Sunday afternoon activity of mine was going to the Mr. Sunday day party.  Absolutely worth a trek down to Gowanus, so get on their email list for next summer.

Fire Island - Dinner Table

Now that I've finally processed and scanned this summer's collection of photos, it's time to expect a deluge of posts!

Being a part of a share on Fire Island was a large part of my summer, and house-wide dinners were central to our experience.

Here are three candids from one Saturday night.

Product Placement?

Correspondences: Ad Reinhardt at 100 Opening

A good friend helped organize an exhibition in collaboration with the Brooklyn Rail at Temp Art Space (I couldn't resist taking my camera to the opening).

Temp's wonderfully interesting basement is one of my favorite places for event photos...check out the full gallery.

Great evening at Hotel Chantelle - check out the link for the full gallery.

Brighton Beach

Last [early] Spring, I made it out to Brighton Beach with a few Russian friends.  Let's just say that, yet again, I was the only one who didn't speak the language (our meal at  Nargis Cafe was incredible nonetheless).  This place seemed familiar - but quite different - simultaneously.  The American Dream seems to be much more pervasive in NYC than anything I've experienced.

Inca Trail - 1

I'd highly suggest hiking the Inca Trail before it becomes even more of a scarce/depleted resource.  We had a great group, guide and overall experience.  If you ever go I'd highly suggest Llama Path.

Drag Queens

I've gotten to know a few of these two lovely ladies from their performances at This n' That  and am thrilled to see how their careers have grown.
