The Days & The Nights

The lifestyle of a Flight Attendant is pretty unique. The majority of the month is spent traversing through the country, staying somewhere new each work day. It is exhausting but exciting… You join a team, a flight crew, for the duration of the trip. Then you say goodbye a meet Read more…


Vegan Flight Attendant Training, Week 3 Outtakes

Was sitting on my hotel room couch when the sky called to me… a rainbow I very well could have missed if I ignore the sky. It was massive and beautiful. Salad in car because I need a social break… everyday. Ethiopian that was way too salty. Kind of bummed Read more…


๐Ÿ’˜Valentine’s Day Photo Dump๐Ÿ’˜

Though Valentine’s Day is a bit, you know, trite, I am of the philosophy of the 1994 Built to Spill album “There’s Nothing Wrong With Love.” So some of the red happenings of Love’s official holiday. Red Velvet cupcake again, because it is mind-blowing Sugar cookies mostly for the kids. Read more…

Abandoned Movie Theater
Sayreville, New Jersey

On a recent trip back from the Jersey Shore to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn by way of the Outerbridge, this location caught my eye. An “eyesore” for many is pleasing to mine… a dilapidated multiplex, covered in plywood, tagged and overgrown with weeds. Ah, such things lure me in, boggle my Read more…


Welcoming Spring {Pictorial}

It’s that time of the year again. Spring fever. What beauty have you discovered leaving your den? Art Deco break in Bay Ridge At the Skyline Drive-in, Greenpoint Flowering trees ๐Ÿ’“ On the ferry Ready for star shoots


Simple Pleasures Returning

Slowly, very slowly, more simple collective pleasures seem to be surfacing.  The streets of New York City, once jarringly empty, have been bustling with a long-gone energy.  And I am reminded of how strong a “character” setting can be in a story, a powerful entity impacting all characters.  Ok, ok, Read more…


I know there’s a Full Moon every night
It’s just not always bright ๐ŸŒ’

Another edition of Moon inspiration for the archive. I was excited to do a moon shoot tonight to capture the full Snow Moon, but it may be cloudy… So! Some practice for an impending Phase Two endeavor… vintage photoshoots. Today I would be incorporating a few things I’ll need practice: Read more…


Yes & Snow

I kind of react to snow like someone in a movie, hands out and smiling gleefully. Though I am well aware of water cycle diagrams, powdery white fluffy flakes blanketing the entire neighborhood still holds a bit of childish magic. So I tried to take selfies within it, just like Read more…


๐•พ๐–Š๐–Ž๐–™๐–†๐–“ Made Me Do It ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
Bushwick’s ๐•พ๐–Š๐–Ž๐–™๐–†๐–“ Rising & The Satantic Panic

I don’t know how it is possible after years and years of blogging that I don’t have more ๐•พ๐–Š๐–Ž๐–™๐–†๐–“ puns on here! In fact the only one I could find was a two-sentence post that was referencing The White Stripes album… in 2007. So now, a post totally dedicated to Read more…


My Dinner with Angie
Staten Island Edition

I’ve realized that intellectual compatibility is the only way to be ushered past all my diligent guards. But beyond the gates… rewards well worth the usual frustration, hassle and disappointment of having said standards. Within these states of understanding, the exchange of thoughts and ideas is, to me, the most Read more…


Get Out, Get Under The Moon

Because it looks like rain a-coming for the actual full moon, I happened to catch it in the phase of Almost. To follow, a random collection of moonspiration I had building up, along with the shots from my telephoto lens. This is the best I can do with my equipment… Read more…


Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying
Abandoned Ohio State Reformatory

This was the destination that sealed Ohioโ€™s fate as my post-school year mini excursion. The historic Ohio State Reformatory. Though I wouldnโ€™t have to worry about trespassing or finding a hole to crawl in! Itโ€™s open for self-guided tours. And on this steaming hot summerโ€™s day, the parking lot was Read more…


Vegan Dinner & A Vegan In A Movie

With my fried chicken battle in mind, I chose an opportunistic visit to Honeybee’s, now in the space once occupied by Cienfuegos above Mother of Pearl. Honeybee’s, a bourbon and rye bar slash barbecue, is one of Ravi DaRossi’s empire of all-vegan eateries, as are the other two listed above. Read more…


Pet Sematary Screening

Watching an old and dear friend achieve Hollywood success is quite surreal. Watching them be swarmed by others in every direction… we basked in the love and added ours to it. And we also got star treatment, as special guests of Paramount Pictures, special guests of director Kevin Kรถlsch, at Read more…


Ten Things To Do Instead of Shopping: #7. Don’t Forget to Forget.

On the New Years resolution tip and inspired by my old friend in Seattle: Don’t forget to forget.   Neuroscientists and Google searchers know that the brain’s Limbic System, also known as the emotional motor system, has many very important components.  Inside, the almighty amygdala.  This little piece of grey determines how Read more…


Ten Things To Do Instead of Shopping: #4. Watch an old movie [Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood For Love]

Wong Kar-wai’s In The Mood For Love is about a man and a woman who discover their spouses are having an affair together.  A unique relationship forms as they utilize each other to process the betrayal and hurt while assuaging their loneliness.  With innocence and a naive curiosity they proclaim, โ€œWe wonโ€™t be Read more…


Birthday Outtakes, Part 1

I had the chance to stop at La Bella Pasta in Kingston, New York to score some of their vegan pasta.ย  Fresh made vegan pasta is a new blog reporting passion of mind. I hope as more accept plant-based as normal, other pasta makers will experiment with vegan options.ย  ย  Read more…


Phoenixville: A Cute Small Town With Vegan Eats

An hour from Philadelphia is the lovely borough of Phoenixville. Once the site of iron and steel mills, Phoenixville now has a thriving downtown strip containing diverse eateries, watering holes, and breweries. And some vegan eats! It is one of those places that feel like a mix of home and Read more…


War, Brotherhood, and Women (a way-late movie review and the start of a sociological commentary)

What are movies if not a means to compel a viewer–to thoughts and feelings… to carry them within the journey of a character, a storyline so that they may glean something from it. ย Whether it be a laugh, an escape, or–my favorite–something much bigger. ย Something new. ย Different. ย Something that can Read more…


A Fond Farewell to Summer: I can tell you my love for you will still be strong after the selfies of summer have gone.

This is kind of how summer is… and kind how the days after summer are, too. They are potent… and in the rear view seem further away when they’re gone.ย Seeing pictures from the summer once the school year starts is surreal.ย  Time passes with a tremendous stomp. This blog post Read more…


September: Thumbs Down

Sorry blog. The new school year is kicking my arse. Be back soon! For your viewing pleasure, this fantastic cinematic music montage. Sure, it’s cheesepuff but few montages accomplish more plot development. The innocent Jennifer Grey is sexualized (very necessary to the plot) and her skills (and footwear) get serious, Read more…


Ponyboy

Falling back, the glorious autumn sunset coincides with my drive home from the train station. This sky had me snapping pictures towards my neighbor’s house in creepy fashion. It made me think of Ponyboy Curtis. {Then I thought about how lucky I was to come of age in a time Read more…
