The World Cup ended up with quite the moment for the German team ... but still... GO U.S.A.

While it was going on, I was assigned to create images of new drinks that were made just for the Bacardi USA website... and the images produced looked exciting and delicious too!

Also, there was a great WLRN radio interview that was very pleasant.  It really does make one more complete to help others when you can.

Lobster season ends March 31, 2014

This was a big boy and I need to find another like a few years ago on the boat with Lisa and Sergio

This is the biggest lobster I've ever caught by myself on Lisa and Sergio's boat. It was mini season 2009, last day, last dive. I was so thankful...everyone else on board was so jealous

Last fews weeks of diving have been fun

But be real aware that the middle of the GoPro video has a six foot wide sting ray that was not noticed by the class it flew over while they were on the Belzona barge in Miami waters... the wing of the ray went 12" from my camera.

Oysters Rockefeller done according to the original recipe from Antoine's in the Quarter. Made with love and care by yours truly. After eating a dozen of these, you always ask, "Who's your Daddy?"...before you spank them.

Dr. T. N. Chan is one of the world's leading acupuncturists (Tai Chi masters as well) demonstrates a stance with Manjushiri Sword.  The only thing I could barely stand was when he used me as a sparring partner... I thought I was in trouble as his technique came "razor" close at times... 

Finally I managed  created  quite the portrait photo while we were there for a
beautiful snowfall at his home.  Check out the tracks... deer, big rabbits?

ok woodsmen... which tracks are deer and which are hound dogs?

I have recently spent several cold weekends in NYC to do time-lapse stock footage and ran back out to Roslyn where I grew up.  I went to a LIRR bridge that I had photographed over 40 years ago in B&W... some of my first rolls of film in that Nikkormat FTn

... and then February 2014 we have a new look

... what a zen moment to realize that 40 years later i still have pleasure to photograph the same site... thrilling

Fresh Little Neck clams help the mojo.

This is only ten minutes after my first deep fried flounder in Chinatown, NYC.

Eggs Benedict, of course, are so fat-free they're good for you.
