As my friend Karl put it, “Even bounty hunting has been hit hard by this economy…”

Met a bunch of shooters walking around town today. A Nikon shooter with a D40 and the great 50mm f1.4 lens. In Washington Square, there was a Leica M6 with an early version of the 50mm Summicron.
My gear was caked with snow early on today. Need to take better care when I’m out. But I never will. Use it or lose it.
Very few people out today, except at Pilgrim Hill which I guess is the only sledding game in town.

Hassan Hakmoun performed last week at that great space, Le Poisson Rouge in the Village. The occasion was the Global Music Double Fundraiser which raised funds for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Also performing that night were Falu, Basya Schechter (Pharaoh’s Daughter), Luqmon Brown (Funkface), Malika Zarra, Haale, Bill Bragin (DJ Set) and Amon Drum (DJ Set).
It was a great night of music. And if the guy with the mesh back shirt is included, a great night of dancing too.

This past October, The Merce Cunningham Dance Company organized a memorial for Merce who had passed away this summer. In attendance were many notable figures in the New York scene including Jasper Johns and former Company members, many of whom also performed. It was a celebration of his amazing career and contribution to the world of modern dance and performance.
It was truly a pleasure and a gift to be in attendance and to capture the night for the Company.
