Some old pics..

This is me and Nate in the subway in New York. We had a very long night of drinking and god knows what else. I remember shortly after this was taken, we need to wake Nate up for his train ticket.. After numerous failed attempts, he finally stumbled to his feet and screamed; Here is my fucking train ticket!!!, and tossed a pile of money up in there air, then fell over. The last thing you wanna do in the train station is throw money around...funny shit..

This shot was taken at The Kerr Rd. house. I love the ghostly effect. It definitly captures the mood of that night.

Pondering Peace..

This is the cover of Yoko Ono's Album; "Season Of Glass" I always loved this image. These are the glasses John Lennon was wearing when Mark David Chapman shot him outside the Dakota Hotel on December 8, 1980. You can still see the blood.
The shot was taken by Yoko. She placed the glass on a window sill over-looking Central Park, one of Johns favorite places to be. It really makes you think..
I had the opportunity to see the original photo at the John Lennon Exhibit in New York recently. And ever since then, i cant seem to get this image out of my head..
We'll miss you John..

New York Lennon Experience

I figure i'd recap my recent trip to NYC... I went to the john Lennon Exhibit at the Rock N' Roll Annex. I went with Niki, Shannon, Greg and Kayln. It was a good time. The exhibit was interesting. It started of with a wall of name plates of artists that have been inducted over the years. Each name lit up according to what song was playing. Then the doors opened..Theres was a lot to see before we got to the Lennon exhibit. They had Bruce Springsteen's first car, a room full of CBGB's relics (including a urinal) and a lot of other stuff.
Then came the Lennon room..the brainchild of Yoko Ono. They had hand-written lyrics, rare photos, movies and the most interesting display..Lennon's bag of clothes he was wearing when he was shot. Unfortunately, they would allow any photos. If you ask me..everything in that gallery should be public domain. In all, it was a good time.
Afterwards, we went to ground zero. Its still a hole in the ground. It was only a few hours and it was already time to go. I hate leaving new york. And thats that..
Check out some pics.. NYC '09
