ryhmes without borders





last night i checked out a hip hop showcase put on by nomadic wax. the beats were hot and the lyrics were spitting like fire. mc's from sierra leone, kenya, liberia and puerto rico were representing throughout the night. live percussion and smooth beats melded and welded together. the crowd was perpetually smiling and it made me smile too. i was happy to be in nyc...

here are some kodak moments...

precious life.


life is precious. as humans we hear people talk about the summer going by so fast or there just aren't enough hours in the day. it's true. life is quick and precious and fragile. we musn't forget, we're just these little animals roaming around the planet on machines we shouldn't be and in environments full of stress and distress.

and we must not be afraid to realize that today is today. we must live and love smile and hug today, not tomorrow. life is too short.

today i found out a good friend of mine passed away. dbf and i grew up together playing little league and basketball on the upper west side of manhattan. recently we'd see each other every few months. to smile with him and embrace him with a hug was a blessing. no more. he's passed on to the greatest journey. he's with friends and family looking down on us smiling.

love to you dave. i already miss you.

sosa to mercedes and habana too...





it's late night here in the big apple. i got some old school mercedes sosa spinning on the speakers, toda cambien toda, oh goodness me, it just switched up in favor of silvio rodriguez... mmm, that's the sound of love and life.

i've gotten through one day of camp, editing and sorting, sorting and sorting. there are three more days of musical folders and then navigation should be easier...

here is a sabor of gems that spilled some chills on my back and thrilled. truly made me feel dee-liteful, sort of like these cuban rythyms.

the blc...



...it's sunday morning here at brown ledge camp and the campers aren't camping they're lamping- in the cabins, in front of a film and outside reading. here at camp it's sort of like sundays everywhere- resting with friends and fams.

over the past two days i've taken about 1300 photographs. i got two more days here at camp and thousands more images. i'm swimming in a sea of photographs.

here are a couple little samplers of the love that's going down at this special little piece of land in vermont. and oh, a little editors note if i may. i ended up getting clocked in the face by this big white cruising seat!

a rainy creamy




yesterday rained. here in northern vermont the earth was saturated with water. in the morning, steph and i made it outside to play with the horses before the wet. then we hung out, inside most of the day, reading, working and napping. we made nav rattan korma for dinner and steph's friend, jesse, came over for dinner.

after dinner we went for a drive in search of a cone of creamy (which here in vermont is a soft serve ice cream). but halfway there the road was blocked by a firetruck. the wet had washed out our route to a cold creamy. guess it wasn't meant to be...

line on...




i have decided this summer to use my clothesline as much as possible. after washing my clothes, I've been hanging the cloth that covers my naked body on a line of string and behold, without electricity my clothes are dry hours later. nothing better for us on this here earth than to clothesline...

i'm also back on line. utilizing my insurance dough for my stolen camera i went and purchased a new digital camera. hopefully it will be helping me to make more magnificently beautiful digital images. this evening i am driving with my friend steph of nutty steph's to Montpelier, Vermont. then Friday I'll be hanging at Brown Ledge Camp through the weekend and making photographs for their new brochure and website!!! and sneaking into Lake Champlain for a dip or two!!!

the image of my poppa is the first ever from my new camera. and the other are from columbia university where i went for a walk last night with my buddy chris. he's catching a mobile...

dimanche


it's sunday, late afternoon, here in the deep springs of long island. it's gorgeous. the wind is so perfect and soft, it seems to be hugging me. the sky is painted with clouds that even a marsh mellow would be jealous of. and the free wireless internet from the east hampton public library is floating through walls and into my machina, as i sit outside the library, after an early dimanche closing time of 5 pm.

the playa is close, and rumour has it there is some free reggae deep springs way...

this is a road in northwest argentina. volcans everywhere.
