Nine Days In January, 12th-21st, 2007
On Jan 12th, I went to a this cool Art Space in Brooklyn called 3rd Ward I think. They have a bunch of space and rent out rooms and teach lessons on print making.
They had a bunch of crazy shit on display.
Like this weird huge mechanical lute/piano that didn’t really make any noise.
On these minute branches connected with string.
In addition to a musical performance.
Which included rubber banding the crowd into a smaller…
And smaller space.
The pictures were nice, Josh and Geoph enjoyed them.
I liked this skin outfit, though it is a bit freaky.
Just skin’s good enough for me.
I liked that first picture so much I had to recreate it with the peeps I came with.
Katz got a dope decal too.
I was headed to Charlotte’s house for a party after, and everyone wanted to come along. Everyone now included Nick’s cousin and his friend and the friend’s girlfriend.
I was nervous I was bringing a crowd, so I called ahead, but Charlotte said it was cool.
And so we partied. With band.
And a little bit with a violin.
And it was good I came, because I brought the numbers that made the party successful.
I even busted out the good camera for some dope portraiture. Here’s nick.
And John.
And I even did an impromtu photo shoot of Nick’s cousin’s friend’s girlfriend.
Wearing some C Spot.
And then C Spot herself.
I forget this guy’s name, but he gave a good look.
As did the classic pass out on the couch class act.
Look, artsy scribbles.
Obviously, it got late, so we all left.
But john still had some party in him.
A very nice night all in all.
A few weeks earlier, I had done a favor for a the wife of a friend of mine, so she repaid me with a gift card to one of Jenna and my favorite restaurants Babbo.
So we went. We had no reservation, so we waited by the door patiently for about 50 minutes.
When we got to the table, Jenna was ready to eat.
But there’s always a bit of time to ham it up for the camera.
What can I say? Candle light is good for us.
We had a plate of meat to start, which had some hits and some misses, like the clear paper thin slices of pig fat.
Then this dish. I don’t remember what it is.
The mint angel wings tasted delicious, though.
Jenna enjoyed her ravioli
I thought my pig got smoked a bit too much.
But the desert never lets us down.
Ever.
Not even the coffee stirrers. Though this visit to Babbo did not blow me away as much as last time.
During dinner, I got invited to some late night Wesleyan poker, so we headed to Derek and Liz’s to catch a game.
With the usual suspects.
Including Jenna! What a delicious addition.
Orson thought so.
Five days later I came across this, my editor’s reel.
Right on time too, because I had to put in my final all night editing installment on the shotgun project.
But not before doing some moody shots.
In a dark.
Or before Johnny got some good red digit shots.
So I worked all night cutting together explosions for the Shotgun Project showing in midtown. Then I found this picture by Ben The Rose and added a vignette and some red to get it moody.
I went back home at 5am, slept all day, then went over to Jenna’s friend’s place to do some game night action.
Everyone gathered round for some Taboo.
Not before the Jenna and Kerri photo shoot.
Drink up.
Feel up.
Lick it up.
And kiss it up.
Now we can taboo! A fun game.
But we had to be on our way to our second party of the night. Yes, we are so popular our Saturdays come double booked.
It was Derek’s birthday.
So we partied at his friend’s nice wide open apartment.
And felt cheery.
Even caught up with a this globe trotting couple, back from several countries in southern asia.
Interestingly enough, I never got a picture with the birthday boy. How strange. But on with the post. Jenna and I went to bed and awoke on the final day of the Annie Liebewitz exhibit. So we trained it down to the Brooklyn Museum.
And pulled “a Mexican” on the huge long crowds, just walking through the front door, and buying tickets with an elegant cut. One of the best i’ve done.
Saw these crazy lifelike rubber statues.
Then couldn’t cut to get into the actual gallery, so we did take a bit of a line.
But that was nice, cause we got to see these beauties.
The exhibit was packed, so I couldn’t take the pictures I wanted.
But damn that woman can shoot.
Pretty spectacular portraiture.
Pretty spectacular weekend.
Which finished with a peekaboo.
Dinner at klong.
Beautiful.
