Thought I'd try something a little different this time...

Happy Samhain!
Happy Samhain to anyone who checks my blog!
I've always loved Halloween and especially love it in
New York whereyou're encouraged to dress up
and be creative and gross as possible.
Actually, now that I think about it,
its just like every other day in NYC :D
Anyway, here's a photo of me from two years ago.

To complete the effect of me having just crawled out of a grave, I remember rolling around in the bushes of Bryant Park on 5th Ave. I also remember Rachel Simon, my lovely producer, being absolutely horrified and reminded me that rats and pigeons more than likely rolled around there too on a regular basis.... eeeek! I'd never thought of that.Oh well, I survived.
But I was part of a team effort with Rachel Simon and Venture Bros
animation director, Jen Batinich.
We called ourselves... Zombie Bananarama!

Not sure what I'm going as this year but I have an idea...
it might just have to be political! :)

A Quick Biography of Barack Obama by Jeffrey Lewis
New York City comic book artist and antifolk songwriter/performer Jeffrey Lewis performs his "low budget video" about presidential candidate Barack Obama
With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas,
Barack was born in the storms of our Honolulu Island.
From Jakarta to Hawaii to Columbia U. in New York,
where he studied International Relations and Political Science.
In the '80s, in his 20s, in Chicago, he did plenty,
working as director of Developing Communities.
He started job training programs and tenants' rights organizations,
where folks needed hope he helped at all opportunities.
After doing so much good for Chicago's poor neighborhoods,
Barack saw Europe and Kenya and learned the world is one home.
At Harvard Law School he was elected head of the Law Review,
and as its first black president he first became nationally known.
He kept fightin' for ya as a civil rights lawyer,
and at Chicago U. he taught Constitutional Law.
In the state legislature he worked on welfare and healthcare,
and he was elected to the US Senate in 2004.
As Senator, Barack opposed the wasteful war in Iraq,
he knows people need help more than big corporations.
What happens next is a guess, but I'm hoping that yes,
Barack Obama will become a great president of our nation.
GO OBAMA!
That is all.

The Voxys @ Union Pool 10/09/2008
Another wonderful gig by The Voxys.
The lads were on top form and dare I say, the best form I've seen them to date.
And Union Pool in Williamsburg might have hipsters that are a pain in the ass but it sure is a cool venue to photograph.
Here's a few samples from that night...

The Cloisters.
A couple of weeks ago I travelled on the A train to north Manhattan to visit the truly breathtaking Cloisters Museum & Gardens. This is a unique architectural amalgam museum made up of five medieval French monasteries set in the beautiful Fort Tryon Park.
The West Terrace provides magnificent views of the Hudson River unlikeany other vantage point in Manhattan. Its so peaceful.
And its filled with stunning art and artifacts. Here's just a few examples...
If you have never been, I urge you to go. You will not be disappointed, I promise you.
In fact, I lost myself so completely in my surroundings that I actually found it difficult to convince myself that I really hadn't been transported to South of France.
That is all.

The Voxys, Live @ Club 205 on the LES
Man, what a great night!
The lads were on fine form and they certainly looked the part but woe was me...
the lighting in this venue well and truly sucked.
There was only one spotlight in the whole place so it pretty much ended up being the
Julian Colin Sylvester show, as he was the one member of the band
in the one poxy spotlight!
Oh well. I worked with it and got a few interesting shots but none that I could say
I'm completely 100% happy with.
But here are a few that come close...
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the entire venue was painted with aluminium paint, so my flash was constantly being reflected back at me.

The Voxys
Left to right: Chad Flewwelling (drums), Julian Colin Sylvester (guitars and vocals), William McCormack (bass) & Trevor Murphy (guitars and vocals).Formed in New York City in 2008, The Voxys' sound has been described as upbeat jangly '60s-inspired melodic garage pop. And if you get a chance to catch these guys live,
you'll not be disappointed, I promise you.
I just love the dude urinating in the background.NYC... I love ya!
That is all!
