Remembering 911.

September 11, 2015 § 1 Comment

My gorgeous sister in her other life dancing outside of the WTC. My son came home and told us the teachers shared their 911 stories today, so we shared ours. I told him about how I was working on a tv show downtown during the day, but had just switched to nights and was sleeping when the planes crashed into the towers. How it was a beautiful day. The mishegas that followed. Who remembers the duct tape we were suppose to buy?  The Anthrax scare at NBC and the men in full hazmat suits who came in to investigate while the editors and producers had to continue to work unprotected. The burning smell that lasted for weeks maybe months? I can’t remember now, but can’t forget that smell. The pasted photos of the missing persons and how everything is just different now…

I spotted these cool paper shoes outside MOMA on 53rd Street. They belong to Philip Laforest who was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in the 1950’s. Philip is a self taught artist. Check out more of his impressive work at PhilipLaforest.com.PaperShoes2PaperShoesPhilip2

Rock ‘N’ Roll Project | Martin Scorsese

July 3, 2015 § 3 Comments

Walking down 48th Street and Lexington Avenue today I found myself wondering where I was as I passed by Colony Music.  At first I thought maybe it had been reopened as a smaller version of itself until I realized I had walked into the middle of the set for Martin Scorsese’s new HBO show Rock ‘N’ Roll.  Alas the PA who asked me to move along snapped me out of my fantasy flashback in time.  They even dirtied up the streets and a couple of the drivers for the vintage cars were engaged in a real life drama as they verbally duked it out.DSC_6433 copy2 DSC_6435 copy2DSC_6523 copyDSC_6460 copy copyDSC_6438 copy2DSC_6393 copy
