Last NYC Photos 05.06

Yesterday schedule, timing, events occurring- everything was on time and kept the day rolling smoothly. Unfortunately I don't have photos of every event, i guess due to poor planning, and because of the random things occurring.
I had lunch with the bro and got to check out the Orvis designers office building with their amazing view from the 27th? floor- Times Square to BK panoramic, good stuff but no pict sorry.
Then coffee with an old friend Lauren- again no pictures, back to BK to chill with Marcia and talk about ghost stories and the job market.
Caught up with Luis in the city around 9:30 and took him out for a few hours and then took it on home. Great day.


These photos are from yesterday, and are decent enough to post up but not a good representation of how epic the day was, end to end. Today im taking my game back up north to do final prep work for the drive this weekend, and then it's finally gonnabe on.
The final photo is choice- this is the landlord to the building I lived this summer in brooklyn. he would just barge into the place sometimes, say something mildly relevant to justify his entry, then go on about the physics of life. His thick accent sometimes would just completely lose me in what he was talking/chastising us about, but generally by the conclusion I had the gist down. I wanted a photo of him but had to remain lo-key about it. He wouldn't portray the same reactions for a planned photo, so it was great this opportunity presented itself to shoot him doing his thing on someone else. His character was very genuine and i hope i catch another story again sometime.

sentimental blogging is the 80s power ballad of the blogospher.

I believe if you had met John who always smells like cigars and is everyone's grandfather you'd find yourself sentimental blogging too.

I'm finding it hard to resist.
