Happy Birthday To The Coolest Mom In The UNIVERSE!

my buddha mama! I got my passion and endless creativity from my mother! Everytime she snapped photos of us and brought out the photo books, she taught me how to look at things.

Kingston, NY

A tiny review of the town of Kingston, New York

Yes, a little on the sleepy side...not much activity here but the town definitely has it's charm.

PROS:
1. Late at night you can hear the faint sound of the railroad

2. NO WAITING IN LINES anytime anywhere. check out the DNV or Post Office..if you've living in NYC, you'll want to move to Kingston for this reason alone.

3. Street parking meters are 10 cents! PER HOUR!! I was having a long lunch with a friend of mine and we were 30 minutes late adding money to meter (um, 10 fuckin cents!) Guess what? There was no ticket! Apparently the meter maids don't hide in the bushes and pounce when your meter expires.

Oh yeah, and the ticket is a whopping 5 bucks. Now that's what im talking about. A town after my own heart.

4. Barnes and Nobles / Starbucks

5. It's OK to eat ice cream

CONS:
1. Sacrifice lovelife and social life (best if you want to become a nun/ priest this will increase your chances of getting laid)

2. Low stress levels and possibly low self-esteem

3. Sacrifice access to things containing "style"

4. Complete utter boredom

5. Barnes and Nobles / Starbucks

6. It's NOT ok to eat ice cream

I always tend to be stuck in the fork.



lots of ice cream everywhere

MMMMMMORE From Midtown

"people who need people...are the unluckiest people in the wooooooorld"

Homeless in NYC

New York City...

i've decided that there's never anything to do in nyc. along with the puerto rican parade on sunday, there was a wedding on the steps of a public library in bryant park, a band shooting their video during an impromptu set in union square park and a live theater group doing an anti-war play...NYC CAN BE SO BORING!


Man From Earth, trying to play a few songs before being told to scoot. They shot a portion of their video here...


Briggs, live anti-war theater at it's finest...it's not like there's a war going on or anything..

Puerto Rican Parade of Chicas and Chicos..and one Pig!

you can practically hear these girls getting whistled at in this photo...chickitas in effect.

the whistlers...

From Atlantis with Love

while walking around the bowery, i saw this gentleman and his very unique food cart. i asked him if i could photograph him and he politely declined. i was so visibly disappointed by this that i think he felt bad because seconds later he changed his mind and let me take the photograph. he's sparkling.
