This weekend I came across the work of Emerson Matabele at an arts& craft street fair. And I liked his keen eye for composition and knack for portraiture.
Travel & lifestyle photography is not well respected in photography circles. Many professional photographers think it is easy to travel and always bring back compelling or beautiful images, but they underestimate the skill & eye of photographers such as Emerson Matabele, Amanda Marsalis or Frederic Lagrange.
If you find yourself downtown today you can see & purchase prints by Emerson Matabele on University place all day.

Red September
My parents are in Russia on a very personal journey right now. And I decided to re-watch Hunt for Red October.
Such a good movie (even 20 years later*), great lines, great set design, impeccable score, solid acting, and a naval themed young Alec Baldwin. What's not to like?
Oh and did I mention that Mr. Baldwin just recently purchased in the hood? I hope he joins the Block Association. No really, I do. We need some backup.
* my only criticism: a few more women should have been in the movie.

It's Friday (Saturday) Night
It's definitely Friday night in the city.
I just overheard the following exchange outside my window:
"What are you F**CKING looking at?!"
"I wasn't looking at you, A**hole, I was looking over HERE!"
"F**k YOU, you f**king Douchebag!"

Kenne Valley & Irene
While everyone worried about New York City, Upstate New York was one of the places hurt by Irene. Friends who live in Keene Valley got it bad: their home and their business were damaged badly. So if you find yourself up there or are heading to Montreal and you need to stop for a snack please stop by Green Point Foods! It is a win-win situation, you will support these fine people and get some tasty treats!
