The Most Beautiful Suicide

Sure it’s morbid and probably been over exposed through the years from folks like Warhol, but I’ve never seen this photo before and am bizarrely drawn into it’s story.

I should remember to be a bit more morbid and get back to taking photos.

Plush Weighted Companion Cube Makes a Great Desktop

Plush Weighted Companion Cube Desktop Wallpaper As I mentioned before, I loved Portal and even after spending hours on Call of Duty 4’s multiplayer servers, it’s probably still my favorite game of all time. So, when I heard that Valve would have official Weighted Companion Cube plushies made up I tried to grab one… of course, so did the rest of the entire internet. Not able to get one right away, I waited until they were reissued and grabbed one. It came a few weeks ago and has been spending its days on the couch. One morning I decided to snap a photo of it and then last night that photo turned into a desktop.

Grab the desktop wallpaper now at MyBestDesktops.com and enjoy.

I should remember to spend more time with my WCC so he doesn’t get too lonely… or watch too much TV.

Spring Flower Desktop Wallpaper

So, I took some shots of tulips the other day when my woman bought some flowers to display during our Easter Brunch and turned them into some desktop wallapers. I’ll be posting them all to MyBestDesktops.com naturally.

Anyway, they feel great on my desktop and sometimes bring a smile to my inner face.

I should remember to use bright desktop wallpapers more often.

Super Bowl XLII

 Although I’ve never been that into professional sports, I can’t help but still think about how amazing that Super Bowl win by the Giants was a week ago. Just incredible. The best Super Bowl I’ve certainly ever seen!

Plus taking photos at Tuesday’s ticker-tape parade in lower Manhattan was tons of fun, too.

I should remember to catch a game or two occasionally…

Valentine’s Day Desktop Wallapapers at MyBestDesktops.com

Although I don’t personally do a lot of the traditionally accepted activities to celebrate Valentine’s Day, I do like the sentiment of being a little nicer to someone for whatever reason. So, to help get in the spirit, MyBestDesktops.com will be posting what I hope to be a whole slew of lovey-dovey desktops over the next couple weeks.

Today, we kick it off with Valentine’s Red Rose 1. Keep checking MyBestDesktops.com for the latest and greatest in sweet desktop wallpaper goodness.

In the meantime, I’ll try to remember to keep updating the thing…

New Year

Today feels like the first day I can finally take a moment and ease myself into the new year. The past couple weeks were just so jam packed… even when I was doing nothing. I hope I remember it all:


The driving all over Trinidad to find my long lost granny,


The time spent doing nothing with Flash II on the veranda in Tobago.

The Cris and caviar.


The death of my D80.


The feeling of a brand new D300 in my hands.


The shoot out in LA.


The drive up the Pacific Coast Highway.

The editing in NY.

It’s so much. Now, I just hope I remember to kick some ass in 2008.

Chinatowns

Chinatowns I keep missing photo exhibitions, so it’s time to start reminding myself again. First up is Chinatowns which opens tonight and goes through December 22nd at the Storefront for Art and Architecture down at 97 Kenmare Street. Basically, it’s photos from chinatowns around the world. Sounds very cool to me…

I should remember to get down there.

(Update: Of course I didn’t make it there… lame.)

Whale Hunt

articboat.jpg tugofwarwithwhale.jpg One thing I always love doing is going on “photo safaris” around New York with my woman. They always lead to visiting places I wouldn’t normally go or looking at familiar neighborhoods in new ways. 

Jonathan Harris of We Feel Fine fame also seems to enjoy a good photo safari, but his most recent was all the way to Barrow, Alaska (the northernmost settlement in the United States) to take part in a whale hunt, “a thousand-year-old tradition that provides the community’s annual food supply” and the result is the amazing Whale Hunt site that documents the whole trip in 5 minute increments.

I should remember try a bigger photo safari sometime…

Six Flags New England Photoshoot

I had the pleasure of heading up to Springfield, Massachusetts for another shoot with the fantastic Michael Warren. Other than a mostly rained-out day thrown in, everything went great. I can’t wait to go through the images and get started putting them into some work.

Although I took the shot above, I’m sure his version will be tons better. I should remember to keep shooting myself!

Yearly Cemetery Visit

Every year I try to make it out to Green-Wood Cemetery at least once during October. Last Saturday we went for a nice walk amongst the tombstones around dusk occasionally stopping to take a couple photos.

I should remember to visit the cemetery more often, and also remember not to get locked in after closing next time. Oops.
