onto the streets of disdain and anarchy









i think it takes very passionate people to stand up and tell you what they are thinking. I don't believe that everyone has to believe them. But in what they say, maybe some people will. I feel that not enough people can articulate politics like some others. And I feel many people are threatened because of this. I noticed that while these men were "speaking" many people decided, in their lack of belief, to not challenge in an intellectual manner, but rather call out rude names. I think every one should at least appreciate an individual that goes to the right place, at the right time to say, maybe not the right thing, but acting accordingly and with respect to the public, something that may be warranted of hearing. With that I give you Union Square in the Spring.

Memo: I am 5 years old in this picture.

Thats me, my mom and my younger brother. He sucks! Just kidding.

Why do Kids suck their thumbs?

Babies have a natural urge to suck, which usually decreases after the age of 6 months. However, many babies continue to suck their thumbs to soothe themselves. Eventually, thumb-sucking can become a habit in babies and young children who use it to comfort themselves when they feel hungry, afraid, restless, quiet, sleepy, or bored.

About 70% to 90% of infants suck their thumbs.1 Most of these children gradually stop on their own between ages 3 and 6.

So much love 4 Spring


Ah Spring. It has so brought so much back to life! See how much fun it gets so quickly when the outside temperature becomes so wonderful!


Here is a brother and sister riding side by side on the Swings in Thompson Square Park and so enjoying life.

OK so a little push up towards the highest point always seemed so adventurous for some. Maybe a little inspiration from one to another is much needed in these situations. ;)


One thing I've learned in life is that some dispositions are much more and widely accepted than others.






and that beauty is not associated with only male, female, adult, teenager, or whatever is presently accepted....

3 young girls enjoying the spring mood.



Everyone needs support and love from people outside of their immediate family. But then again what does family mean anyways.



surrounded....



The best lead in life is one that will show love and security that will follow you throughout life.



and always keep you coming back for more......................

Naked Piper In NYC!


Yes, my job is so interesting most of the time. It offers me such variety and chance. So this coming Friday the 30th. Tartan Week is kicking off. That is pretty much Scottish week here in NYC. So today, I was hired to follow around a "Naked Piper" through Bryant Park and Times Square. As you can imagine there was a full range of remarks and comments. Most of it positive believe it or not. Many people started dancing and others just looked in amazement. As yet again the sky line of NYC was peppered with the variety and daringness that we all grow to appreciate, or not. ;)

Wonderful Amsterdam Again


I had another wonderful visit to Amsterdam with a group of friends. We stayed on a house boat, that got broken into 2 nights in a row by the same junkies. Junkies shore can run fast by the way! I'll never forget Jeff running through the night street of Amsterdam with Tommy and I as he was wearing only his boxer shorts and no shoes or socks. What a site to see. If you visit Amsterdam by all means go on a bike tour and use Mikes Bikes as your source. You will see and learn so much about Amsterdam. It is so worth the $30.00 or whatever the hell it was.

Wowzers

This is basketball Hero Darryl Dawkins with Anne, from Lizzie Grubmans, dancing. No they weren't. :) Darryl was so fun and friendly I asked him to put his giant basketball hand up against Jennifer's to see the comparison's. Then I did it as well. I wish I got a shot......He could almost wrap his hand around a basketball.

Would you like a flower in your champagne?





Its OK if you would. I could have one made for you. :)

This was for a Moet press release on new drinks including Moet Champagne. There was a great mixologist there creating some really entertaining choices. I wanted to try each and every one but time and discipline prevented me. Did I say discipline? Wow. I haven't used that word in a while. ;) The space is beautiful that I shot in. So much so that I captured some video of us working on this. I hope to get that up here soon so that everyone can see how nice of an environment I worked in. My favorite drink is the last one. It had a small red sugar cube in it that made the champagne sing Hallelujah.
Did you know that:

La Champagne is a region of timeless natural beauty. The name derives from the Latin campus, campania or field. In Old French this became Champaign; today, Champagne.
As Christianity and the influence of the church spread, considerable vineyards were bequeathed to the monastic orders. In the eleventh century, when Crusaders who had entrusted their property to the church did not return, these monastic holdings were increased significantly. CHAMPAGNE WAS A REGION long before it was a sparkling wine. The region lies at a crossroads of northern Europe the river valleys leading south to the Mediterranean and north to Paris the English Channel and Western Germany and thus has been the setting of many dramatic events in the history of the French nation.

Where my vision begins


From the inside and back of my eye, so healthy and full of blood and good pressure.



To the outside looking back, so healthy and full of life and good pressure.
