"A Taste of Old New York."
Rick actually stopped me as I was lining up a shot of the subway on that overpass... to ask if my Fuji was a Leica M, We started talking and he told me how he was born on this street, and now living in Alabama this is his first time in the neighborhood in 23 years. We walked together for 5 or 6 blocks, as he looked around to see just how much his neighborhood has changed... He told me of stick ball, of which house was the best for halloween candy... Playing hide and seek in the Steel Cable Factory where they would later teach him and his friends how to weld together their first bicycles.
I met a former Magnum Photographer the other day at work, who told Dave and I that we were photographing old new york, thats why street photography is so important... its the only art form that can stop and capture time itself.

I think this may be my last big walk before 5 Peaks ( 2 weeks tomorrow) tho I may squeeze one in next week. It was probably far too hot to do this (27oc) but hey ho. A hot and sweaty 9 miles done. And yep, went up that big hill :0)
iSilhouette. It's almost the end of the day and past my bed time but I needed to get my shot in. The ipad came to my rescue. I'll catch up with you all in the morning.

don't get me wrong, it's just a fairy chimney and a baloon in capadoccia. it is so usual to see them together. if you see something else here, it is your dirty mind :p
I normally joke about eating cheese with Guinness as I rarely combine the two. However, tonight I figured why not give the combination a try. Its pretty damn good… tasting that is. Im not sure yet how good it is for my body - Internally. We all know how it is for the outside. Just look at the before and after video for day 173!
Today I spent a good portion of the day chasing a forest fire that started with a lightning strike. 75 acres went up in flames sending billowing smoke several hundred feet high, chocking residents and forcing an evacuation. I was out on some crappy business thing and I saw the fire. Immediately I thought, stock footage oppurtunity. I now headed home to grab my camera. I figured I'd call my Mother since she would want the opportunity to get a story for her site. We headed out, following the smoke. We were met with slight opposition with cop after cop sending us away. They were attempting to get people away from danger while we were trying our best to get closer to it.
After several failed attempts at penetrating the road blocks we found a female officer that gave us the information we needed. All it took was a good looking man to get the other part of her brain working! Ok, so i'm lying! I was driving so I stayed in the car and let my mommy talk. I'm only 28, I have a lot of growing up to do!
The media was being let in a few blocks down. We drove down past residents out talking to one another. I could tell that for some of them this was the first time ever talking to their neighbors. Its odd that it takes a disaster to bring people together. We arrive at the final barricade before things get real thick. I start snapping shots of everything including the police cars. The whole time I thinking of what I could composite in front of this. The scene from American History X comes to mind. This is stock gold I think to myself! While shooting, a woman approaches us and asks who we are with. We let her know and then she invites us to ride along with her down to "ground zero" sometimes having media clearance kicks ass!
We hop in her SUV and with ease, roll past every barricade. About 10 blocks down smoke is thick and the area has been evacuated. We get out and walk straight back to the edge of what was less then amazing. It looked as if someone had a camp fire burning. The flames were no more than 2 feet tall. I get a better blaze in my backyard fire-pit. oddly enough, the smoke was thick and spread so high and far they closed both the turnpike and I-95 for 5 miles.
Ok, I'm drinking beer so I'm rambling. Its been pointed out that every blog that I've written while drinking beer is longer than ones sober. I'll try to reel it in and stay on topic.
Ok, so we get a first hand up close view of the fire. I had a business dinner at 6:30 and I smelled completely of camp fire. We went home and I quickly changed before Sushi! Mmm I love sushi!
After dinner I went home to relax for a few minutes before Joyce arrived. I figured since I didn't' get anything good enough for Day 175 at the fire I'd grab a shot of something before She got here. Unfortunately I misjudged how tired I was due to complete lack of sleep for the past 3 days. I passed out for an hour. The next thing I remember is the door bell ringing. Then Joyce walking in. oops, guess I lost track of the time.
I figured that since Joyce was here and I've not seen here for a few weeks that I'd grab a shot of her and call it a night. I did just that and was then off to Walmart to get ready for Cleatus and Lil Bobbi's appearance at the Redneck Circus. I've stained my beater with coffee and mustard. The wigs are ready and I've already started in with the beer. I am going at this event full bore.
Until then… drink beer and eat cheese - Michael
