And to follow the images from Part 1, we took a quick walk through the Arboretum, before heading back to the city to view the fireworks on the Hudson River. Pretty epic. The following day, I met up with some friends at Beach 98 in Far Rockaway for a day of nothing. Perfect.

I want to get one of these “THINK SAFETY” banners for my studio. After this last week of shoots, my studio is a war zone. Keeping organized is important but I know it’s gonna get wrecked starting Monday.

Yesterday was awesome; actually, this whole week has been amazing. First, Alexis and Derek of Sleigh Bells came by my studio for a shoot for Nylon. They were rad and had good music which always get things moving. Can’t wait until their record comes out. Some polaroids below.
Then, my good friend Louis Abelman came over to have dinner and we did some portraits. He works at The New York Times and is a documentary filmmaker. We had fried chicken again. This is going to be on the jacket of his first novel. Anyway, the images came out nice and were Interview Magazine / Irving Penn inspired.

Joel hosted Thanksgiving this year at his loft in Williamsburg. The meal was epic, and the desserts put me down.

Saltie is a new bakery / sandwich shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that recently opened at 378 Metropolitan near my studio. They offer a wide selection of baked goods daily along with a variety of sandwiches with nautical names. They also serve great coffee and desserts. I’ve been coming here for lunch pretty regularly for the past month. The ricotta loaf is especially amazing and the Captain’s Daughter, an anchovy and egg sandwich served on freshly baked focaccia bread, never disappoints. I recently sampled the ice cream sandwich, which comes with one’s choice of ice cream between two thin chocolate cookies. I would have to recommend the salt caramel ice cream. Go by and check out Saltie; it’s amazing. For more info, click HERE.

On Sunday, I have to admit, I got marathon fever. This November 1, 2009 was the 40th running of the New York City Marathon. I was literally in pajamas as I watched these athletes getting closer and closer to my house on T.V. So I put on some clothes and grabbed my camera bag, and ran to the corner of Bedford and Grand St where volunteers hand out water cups to the runners. I got a coffee, and only waited a few minutes before the leaders in the mens’ race were coming toward me, including Meb Keflizighi, this year’s NYC marathon winner (photographed below). Their arrival was only forecasted by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and Mayor Bloomberg riding in a classic car (also, photographed below). I watched thousands of participats run and wheel up Bedford Avenue. Two things I want to know: how you run from Staten Island to Williamsburg in 54.42 minutes and is there a better alternative to green paper cups. I want to congratulate everyone who ran this year including my buddy Justin Tejada who finished the race; it was memorable to watch.

This is a building I’ve photographed a lot over the years, but never like this. On Friday night, Tanlines and Yeasayer performed at the Guggenheim Museum for the It Came From Brooklyn Concert Series. Having press access to the space really helped out in terms of getting to where I needed to be. The stage was situated at the foot of the rotunda in the lobby, surrounded by the Kandinsky exhibition. Both performances were out of this world, and the ambient light only lent itself to my color treatment on these images. I’d like to thank Jesse from Tanlines for the press pass and invitation, and the Guggenheim staff for being so accomodating. I’m really proud of Eric and Jesse from Tanlines; they played great and on a very special stage. Also, big ups to Ira from Yeasayer, who also put on a great performance.
