warpaint @ music hall of williamsburg - 3.4.10

long time no blog! i shot warpaint when they opened up for akron/family at mhow and they put on a phenomenal show. not only was i impressed by their rockness, i was blown away by how they treated their fans. between songs they chatted to everyone who was there to see them. a class act.

the best porch in all of new york

i just got back from one of my whirlwind work trips to new york and i'm glad to be home. i usually stay with a friend in harlem while i'm there, but on this occasion i stayed with one of my oldest and dearest who lives in brooklyn heights. he has the most fabulous place on the promenade. and i can't even really describe his view with words. you can see all the way from the verrazano bridge to the empire state building. UNOBSTRUCTED. AMAZING.

it's really, really special. and while it was cold and much too windy this trip, i was reminded of the last time i stayed there in the late summer and slept every night with the french doors wide open. sigh. i have some pictures of the view and so i'll post them now, if only because there was a blizzard this morning and i'm staring out at two feet of snow. besides, we could all probably use reminder of what warmer weather looks like.

now that i'm sufficiently sad because it's FREEZING here, i'm going to take a cup of tea and go hide under my electric blanket.:)

coney island

this summer i finally made it to coney island after nearly four years of living in brooklyn. i can't believe that it took me as long as it did (and yes, i'm terribly ashamed). it's one of the most fascinating places i've ever been in new york....there's so much to look at. i didn't get to spend nearly as much time there as i would have liked because of the wilco show, but i did get to eat at nathan's and walk a bit on the boardwalk. i only took a few pictures and none of them are all that great as shot, but i lomo-ized them and i think they came out pretty cool.

i can't wait to go back and explore...maybe when fall gets here and it's not quite so unbearably hot....
