擁有飽滿的爆發力，酷味十足的搖滾型男David Cook，成功於「美國偶像 American Idol」第七季脫穎而出，隨即發揮銳不可檔的驚人實力，打破全美告示牌多項紀錄，11首比賽中演繹的歌曲全數挺進流行單曲榜，同時成為Nielsen Soundscan自1991年統計以來，在當週百大榜中擁有最多歌曲的超級新人王，憑藉14首新歌齊發，勝出邦喬飛在2007年所保持6首熱門下載榜的風光佳績。庫克朝著音樂夢想加速前進，同替Post-Grunge版圖劃下新世代強勢音浪。
出生於德州休斯頓的庫克，從小就顯露對音樂的才華，國小二年級開始在學校耶誕節和懇親會上獻唱，擔任餘興節目的主秀演出。進階中學之後，庫克更參加了多齣音樂劇，奠定許多紮實的根基。於1999至2006年間，擔任地下樂團Axium主唱兼吉他手，曾入選美國獨立樂團競賽15強之一，並拿下2004年堪薩斯市的最佳隊伍，經過四張專輯洗禮，最終仍步上解散的命運。2006年發行個人自製大碟《Analog Heart》，雖然沒有資金宣傳，卻因美國偶像的曝光，成為亞馬遜網站上「最暢銷MP3專輯榜」冠軍。RCA唱片公司的執行總裁Tom Corson形容庫克︰「他是多才多藝的歌手，對音樂有著敏銳洞悉力，一位天生的藝術家、真正的明星。」
首張同名專輯《David Cook》請到葛萊美加冕的搖滾樂界超級製作大師Rob Cavallo（年輕歲月、艾拉妮絲莫莉賽特、珠兒）操盤。暖身作品〈The Time Of My Life〉，直奔Billboard流行榜Top3+熱門下載榜冠軍，闖出美國偶像第2季以來銷量最好的成果；陸續擔任Soundgarden和Audioslave經典樂團核心人物的Chris Cornell，與加拿大籍全方位才子Brian Howes（Daughtry、Hinder）聯手撰寫之〈Light On〉，深獲Entertainment Weekly好評道：「聽過兩遍就能深刻的印記腦海，很有可能成為主流大熱門」，直接空降Top17位置；包覆耐聽順暢音符的〈Life On The Moon〉，宣洩如同Creed、Nickelback等團標準美國正夯的Post-Grunge曲式；不讓Daughtry專美於前的散發自信和絕對魅力之〈Lie〉、〈Avalanche〉，倚著滄桑沉穩的嗓音，快速蔓延過耳不忘的感染力；〈Permanent〉則是加入鋼琴+弦樂淒美協助的感人抒情小品。庫克難以掩蓋的耀眼光芒，外加堅持對搖滾的極度熱誠，早已準備好站上國際舞台大展身手一番！
我喜歡他翻唱MIMI的"Always be My Baby"

First Lieutenant James Cook made this his second landing on his first voyage to New Zealand on 23 Oct 1769 after going ashore at Poverty Bay (Gisborne).
"After passing and naming Cape Kidnappers, Bare Island, and Blackhead, he got as far south as abreast of Cape Turn-again. As the appearance of the country did not lead him to suppose he would come on any harbour he decided there to turn round and proceed north again in search of a watering-place. At length he reached Anaura Bay, which he called “Tegadoo,” and the ship's boats were sent ashore for water. A heavy swell was running, and little water was taken off. The natives at Anaura explained that water could be easily got at the next bay south, which Cook afterwards called “Tolaga.”
The romantic cove now known as “Cook's Cove” was the first spot in New Zealand where the voyagers had any luck at all. Fresh water and firewood were badly wanted. At Poverty Bay the water in the river was brackish and undrinkable, and, the natives being hostile, no wood was obtained. At Anaura, as I have just mentioned, the surf beat so high on the beach that little water was taken off, and impressions there were not of the best. At Tolaga a smooth landing was found in the cove, and the necessities required were procurable. The natives were friendly, and the civilian scientists of the expedition were enabled to carry out their researches in this new pasture without molestation.

taking a break from the street art to post this one. But don't forget over at my blog I have a whole series on the Bushwick Block Party bytegirlphotography.com
Earlier I posted a picture of a sunset from this same location in South Anchorage, Chapel By the Sea. Here are two versions of that nights sunset, not sure which one I like better the vertical or horizontal so I thought I would post both.
I think we could see our campsite from here, if we knew exactly where to look... and we had a telescope.

Aoraki / Mount Cook (center) is the highest mountain in New Zealand at 3,724 metres (12,218 feet) and is located on the South Island in the Southern Alps region. On 12 February 2017 we had a rare clear view of the mountain top. Panoramic photo is a 17 exposure stitch, Nikon D7100 raw photos using Apple Aperture, Panorama Maker 5, and Photomatix Pro.
