The State, The Cities, and The Towns

It’s been a long time and I’m back with another picture packed post for the New Year. Where has the time gone? The last thing I remembered was eating a scrumptious meal at Avenue Sea in Apalachicola then BOOM; it is January and I’m back in the lab getting this post out to you. But what happened in the mean time…I mean in between time since you and I last met. A lot, take a walk with me.

After putting the lid on the final edits for the Apalachicola shoot I caught I flight to NYC and headed home for the holidays. It felt good to be back home for a few days so I wasted no time making my rounds visiting friends and family. I literally took over a thousand pictures but since you’re on a tight schedule I’ll only share a few. Check it out:

South Jamaica Queens – This is my old neighborhood. I used to live on the third floor of this very building.

Jamaica Avenue – My favorite places on The Ave are The Coliseum, Hot Waxx, and a mixtape spot on 165th street.

Spanish Harlem – I was here to visit family and attend a shoot for a grass roots music video. This was one of the many locations they filmed at. I was so moved by the murals I decided to take a picture.

Columbus Circle – One of the things I miss about NYC is the subway. While waiting in the wrong place for the right train to the Bronx I caught some very cool jazz.

The Waverly Diner – One of my favorite places to go in The Village. I didn’t eat there this trip but it felt good to stop by.

Damascus, PA – I headed up to the mountains and took this picture behind my mentor’s home. I seriously love it up there.

Tetris – I am a HUGE fan of Tetris and while I was in Pennsylvania I had a phenomenal game. I got to level 110 which is 999 lines and had a score of 2,271,284. Beat that!

State Street Grill – I visited my sister in Montclair, New Jersey. We had lunch at the local diner and that’s her in the picture.

My Cousin Mikey – Mikey and I had a blast out in SOHO. As you can see he is still a twisted from his late night strawberry shake.

The E Train – My little sister took this picture. It seems she is becoming quite the shutterbug as well.

The crew has seriously been on the go for the last few weeks filming a variety of subjects. So far I’ve gotten a chance to get aerial shots by way of a parasail, film rare birds like painted bunting, film the mangrove tunnels in the Everglades in a canoe with the skipper, take pictures of people swimming with the manatees, film the wild in a air boat also in the Everglades, filmed a few hotels, and some very cool spas.

I Love This Job.

Till Next Time
