Les Halles


Getting to go to Les Halles was a big deal for me, and the start of an epic evening in my eyes (it was followed up by a Cabaret and spider-man). I am a huge fan of Anthony Bourdain, and he is executive chef here, we won't go into what that means. Before going, I stopped at the Virgin store in Time Square, and got a Ramones T-shirt to wear. While we were there, I got a cookbook autographed by Bourdain, and ordered a thing I call the Slaughterhouse (pictured above on the cutting board with all the various meets and chips), as well as some Escargot. All the food was amazing, as was the atmosphere. The most amazing thing is that the restaurant is in no way about Bourdain.

Canon K2 (The Film Years)

     I was cleaning/packing for a move and found the drawer that all of my old/broken work cameras were stored in. It seemed like a great time to go through my photo collection and walk down memory lane. I'm breaking this into posts by camera starting with my first work camera, the Canon Rebel K2.      My dad bought me this camera when I gave up pre-med and was taking my first photography class in college. It was a black and white film photography class, which was dying out but still around. He got it for me at a Ritz Camera in Washington, PA. I used it for about two years before I retired it because it had an electrical short that no one could solve, and I couldn't trust it for my work as a photojournalist at the time.      Below are some of the notable adventures I had with this camera:     I already mentioned the B&W photography class, and while none of those photos really stick out to me (let's be honest, they were bad), the...

Jakob Dylan and Three Legs

     First, sorry about the quality. We all know by now how picky people are about you taking large SLR cameras in, and they are hard to hide. That leaves me with my powershot and grain.      Anyway, it was an amazing show. Jakob Dylan is a really nice guy too. IF you ever get the chance to meet him, I highly recommend it. They played a lengthy set that ended with "Three Marlenas" (A Wallflowers song from back in the day, and personal favorite), bantered a lot, sang to a baby, and so on. It is clear they were having a great time playing, and that always makes me feel good about being there. He also played a good cross-section of music from the new album "Women and Country" and his last album, "Seeing Things".
