1. Three Changes by Nicky Silver.....A Night of Let DownsWent to the Playwrights Horizons Theater to see Three Changes, we won tickets for 5 dollars each. And boy am I glad that was all I paid. This play had Dylan McDermot who used to be on Boston Legal or something like that on TV and was really good and had o…

2. Timely MovieLast night I went to see "Waiting for Hockney" the story of a young man who spent 8 years on one piece of art and went to great lengths to meet David Hockney who he was convinced would understand and appreciate who he was and what he had done. At the end…

3. On the Road AgainWell before getting to anything remotely connected to art I will bore you to tears with my slice of life. So I am hitting the road again, doing my evening walks in the hope of raising my levels of high density lipids (the good kind) and to lose weight (fa…

4. Take Words Shake and Bake and Now a New PostI went and saw the move about Diego Rivera, very interesting with great pieces of paintings, photography and film from the 30's and 40's with Rivera himself and bits from his family. Aside from the historical interests, the visuals were fascinating for un…

5. Happy Birthday Thelonious Monk 90 years oldWent to a Thelonious Monk Birthday celebration at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Will post pictures later. Jazz is one of the real success stories about the fusion and diffusion of culture. One of the few things truly American in origin due to the force able m…

6. Going Away is Good.....Perhaps!Going on a trip to Los Angeles the place I was born and spent half my life and now I am about there to having spent more of my life away than there. It is always a strange experience to revisit ones home town when you haven't lived there for years, all th…

7. Life with MetalMy mouth is filled with metal, reference picture just uploaded. I am now officially a middle aged braces wearing geek. Pity me, join me in bemoaning my fate as a thrall of dental and orthodontic supremacy. I should be pitied and perhaps I will take my hat…

8. Interesting participatory artSo I was reading an article on Wired.com about artists who are mapping data from various sources to create pieces of art. One of them is Sheep Market where the artist hired people through Amazon.com using a new feature called Mechanical Turk where you can…

9. Who are you?I asked a variation of this question over on flickr and it ended up being one of the most interesting projects I have had over there. Now I am not sure if this will be picked up over here but what the hey, lets rip. Who are you as a photographer, are you…

10. Tribeca Film Festival is HereOther than the fact that I am attending a couple of movies I don't really have much to say about the film festival. While I enjoy watching movies and after taking a number of acting classes and doing a bit of acting my tastes have become a little more str…

11. I can't get a rise out of youI can't think of anything sensationalist to say to try to get more readers or responses. Should I stand on the street corner and scream, art is dead, photography is visual masturbation, digital is not real, stop the exploitation no more pictures of the wo…

12. Pictures You Won't SeeYou may think that my criteria for not posting is based on how good I think the pictures are according to my taste. Well that is partly true, but tonight I went over to the World Trade Center site to see the preparations for the Popes visit on Sunday. Now…

13. Bad Fats Good...Good Fats BadI posted a picture of my daily walking route, it is a lovely walk with lots of view of the river and the harbor. But I do this for a purpose. On my last blood test, my low density lipids of cholesterol were good and low, but my high density lipids the goo…

14. Numbers AgainToday I got a call from my doctor with results of my blood test. Nothing life hinging, just cholesterol numbers. Somethings down..good, somethings not good and what can I do about that. I eat better now but genetics, ah numbers of those little combination…

15. Smart and Funny PeopleI am a very lucky guy, so far I have gotten cards back from Amiko and now from TomSwift46. One set were fascinating in their artistic intent through painting, the others very smart and funny through design. I am both honored and happy to have begun and ha…

16. Happy Trails, Vaya CondiosSo my vacation has ended, we finished the evening out with an Italian dinner which after all the nice Mexican meals was not a winner. Too salty, and it was disappointing as this place was supposed to do better than this. Oh well, we walked around town, th…

17. Stagnating on FlickrSince I have taken up residence here at Ipernity my stream and views on flickr has gone moribund, I am stagnating over there. Not that I haven't added more pics, I have but not in the systematic manner that I have done over here. I find that this audience…

18. Nothing much to sayThis was a nice weekend and I have ended it with a couple of things. I tried to go to the Noguchi sculpture museum in Queens New York but they weren't open when I went. I did go to a nearby sculpture park and will post a picture of one of the pieces which…

19. Love the Cats But Man are They Taxing My PatienceSo far I have bought 3 baby gates for the apartment which Stretch still manages to get through and we have started to bring him into the same room with the girls. Right now Stretch and Sadie are the first to start working things out, which means Sadie his…

20. Public PhotographyYou may have noticed my latest pictures called Thingasaurus Walkers, I took my old sculpture from school and put a leash on it and started off a series of pictures that began as if taking thingasaurus on a walk or hanging out with the cats. I then took i…
