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.
On Saturday, Restless People and Delorean played at Glasslands in Brooklyn. It was an amazing show. Here are some photos.

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.
Telephoned is a collaboration between my friend Sammy Bananas (Fool’s Gold) and singer Maggie Horn. They played a CMJ show this week In Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and I was feeling the music and the lighting.

This day started with a breakfast at Egg, but I had to finish the roll in this camera I just got in Brimfield so I carried it around with me for the rest of the day. I took it to a show with Little Boots in emerald sequins and a Tenori-on and a party for Refinery 29 at Santos with Of Montreal. And that’s where it ended. These photographs were shot on Fuji NPZ800.
