I took a bike ride over to the Domino Sugar Factory last weekend to check out an open house that the new owners were giving. It was my first opportunity to see the Factory close up inside the gates. Likely, it was my last chance to see it before they tear down a large portion of it because as you can guess, they are setting up luxury condos in it’s place. I hope they save the main building and the […]
In case you’re not in New York, or you just can’t get yourself down to see the show, take a look at these instead (click image below):
I saw the Banksy exhibit today in the Village (7th Ave South, just above Bleecker St in between Jekyll and Hyde, and Sushi Samba). Although, admittedly it might not be for everyone, I really really enjoyed it. You should definitely try to go. I believe it’s only up for this month of October, so go now! Banksy has a great sense of humor and definitely makes you think twice about being a carnivour. Anyway, I took a whole bunch of […]
Banksy has a show near my office now and they’ve put up two nice wall murals to call people’s attention to it. This is the better of the two. It’s at Howard and Broadway, if I remember correctly. I know I’m a few days late in mentioning it but in case you haven’t seen it yet, here it is.
Peter Saville (one of the greatest designers of album covers and other mediums, not to mention a founding partner of Factory Records) was in New York on Friday for a panel discussion and signing at White Columns in the village. He was supporting a book that documented a recent show in Zurich of his design ephemera. I was a huge fan of Saville’s work growing up, so it was a real honor meeting him. It turns out that, like most […]
Last weekend we were fortunate enough to receive an invite to stay at a friend’s rental in East Hampton. It gave us a chance to have a last chance at going to the beach in Amagansett and Montauk and visit Jackson Pollack and Lee Krasner’s house and studios. It was really cool to see the floor of Pollack’s studio and see the remnants of some of his well-known works splattered on the floor. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t let me take photos […]
…looking forward to showing more photos of this weekend from the far east…. of Long Island 😉
I was just putting up shots from my recent long weekend to the Pacific Northwest (Washington State and Vancouver B.C.) when I discovered another photo set from a trip to Marfa, TX (and surrounds) that I never made a public link for. So, check them both out in the Archive List on the upper right of this page, or click below:West Texas, trip 2, March 2007Pacific Northwest, August 2008
Finally some holiday time for me :-). I'm off to pick up Monique on the isle and then it's off to Vancouver.
