Holidays on Facebook give us all a chance to share family photos and honor those that came before. This one posted on Veteran’s Day of college friend Malcolm B. Smith’s grandparents, Katie Elizabeth and John Calvin Smith caught my eye.

Daddy was a good looking man and a great catch. He had a great laugh and beautiful sense of humor. Below, Daddy before a grenade robbed him of his eyesight and happiness. He married once more, fathered another daughter. My sister Diane and I both gave him grandchildren, but he only lived to know my son. However from his bloodline, he now has grands and great grands. RIP daddy. Jerlean Noble

Repost from last year.

Here’s a salute to all the Veterans today and my cool dad who covered 4 presidential conferences as a correspondent for Stars and Stripes during WWII – Casablanca, Cairo, Tehran, Yalta, and Bitter Lakes. The photo below was taken sometime in the 1980’s. See more of his photos and read about him from an earlier post here.

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.

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.
