April 4 — Eddie doing what he loves in the Texas Hill Country.
This will be the last post featuring art in New York City — we are heading back south to Florida tomorrow, and whatever I post from the road will be from my iPhone camera. For a number of years I have been “collecting” photographs of street musicians. Whenever I hear someone play music on the street, or in an underground train station, I stop to take a picture.

I was wrong. For my birthday I could purchase photos for 20% off the regularly exorbitant price. We did have one photo taken, and it turned out to be…Continue Reading “Me & Eddie…”
A week ago Sunday, Eddie and I took the train into New York City for a day doing one of our favorite things — a long walk downtown taking in the sights and sounds of the city, and eating in Chinatown. On our walk I took pictures of a few “only in New York” moments. The first of which was pretty astounding — a pianist playing a baby grand piano in the middle of Washington Square park. He wasn’t on a stage, and there was nothing…Continue Reading “Only in New York…”
My friend Madeline and I were in Northport this morning, and as we walked past the park, we saw a film crew setting up. Given the three American flags in front of the cameras, we thought it might be for a political ad. But just who was the bald man having his tie adjusted?
