During the Black Friday-to-Cyber Monday period, I worked with some real dummies.
Just after sunrise on the U.S. East Coast, wind out of NE at 15 and air temp in the 40s, this was the scene last Saturday:

FB is reminding us of our old postings. This was a reminder that "Time Flies!" It's cold in Virginia today and this was a welcome little revisit to a shoot with Iara Mandyn 4 years ago.
Now that leaves have fallen and outdoor colors are muting, it's nice to look back on the vibrance of Summer. uAV aerial of mermaid in the pool.

Was in NY last week for Photo Expo, then spent a day in the Meat Packing District. This is the first floor gallery at the Milk Studios. Last time I was here, the gallery was full of Sam Haskins' work. I'd been a Haskins fan for years since introduction to his work in Paris (a 1973 Pentax Calendar by Sam hangs in my studio). But, back to the Meat Packing District.... it is a concentration of galleries, restaurants, an access to one end of the High Line, the Whitney Museum, a 3-story Apple Store with glass steps in a spiral (each step tread must have cost as much as my first house), a Google building, the Chelsea Market and celebrity digs all around.
