Literally one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched. 

New York City Ballet presents New Beginnings; September 12, 2013. 

Filmed at sunrise on the 57th floor of 4 World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, this short film captures an extraordinary and moving performance by principal dancers Maria Kowroski and Ask la Cour of Christopher Wheeldon’s “After the Rain” set to “Spiegel Im Spiegel” by Arvo Part. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a tribute to the future of the city that New York City Ballet calls home.

Committing to my craft like a Trappist Monk

By |September 10th, 2015|Categories: Syndicated Content|

I took my first Photoshop class in the fall of 95.   I did it then because my dad was an engineer and I thought it cool to mix some computer classes into the ethereal quest of attending art school. It was probably the best decision I made, part form studying photography in the first […]

“When you’ve got no: chairs, tables, plates, knives, spoons, couches, rugs, drawers, mirrors,…”

“When you’ve got no: chairs, tables, plates, knives, spoons, couches, rugs, drawers, mirrors, lamps, shower stalls, cupboards, hooks, pictures, cabinets, music, internet, phone … only one pair of shoes, six socks, two pairs of underpants (one for on, one for off) … simple pleasures crystallize into epiphanies. Santa Maria Novella toothpaste, from the outpost in San Marco with the boozy Auntie tottering through a nimbus of melograno. It’s twelve bucks, But unless you ice your toothbrush like a gâteau, lasts a month. Winnie and Dusty won’t use it; it’s all cloves and iris and brown like anchovy paste. So it’s mine, twice a day with a sneaky third to scare away the taste of coffee and fear. No lurid branding in fat fonts promising teeth like a Narnian winter (more likely to give you the graveyard smile of a Florentine nun). No plastic tubes the size of burritos. Two skinny ounces of pressed amalgam that might have pleased Caravaggio. It’s an effete pleasure, like a wristwatch or San Marzano tomato. But when you’re living the monk life, tiny oases of beauty become the beads of your rosary.”
