Every 80's kid had a bit of a crush on her, so it was a pleasure to see Molly Ringwald perform at Birdland last night. Humble and engaging with a great style she brings to her songs.

Retronaut's New York
The Retronaut himself, Wofgang Wild.
Last week I covered the opening of "Retronaut's New York" at Premiere Exhibitions at 5th Avenue, a truly fascinating look at turn of the 20th century panoramic photos of New York City curated by Wolfgang Wild. The exhibit also features a massive "Timescape" of Times Square created by Dynamichrome's Jordan Lloyd. It's a photo comp stitched together from several photographs taken throughout the century and represents a little bit of every decade. Painstakingly accurate with nearly 1000 layers. It's amazing.

From the archives
From 2006. The "Coup De Coeur" on a moonless night at friend's family house on Martha's Vineyard.
I went to hear Gabriela Herman speak today at B&H, she pretty much launched her career off of Martha's Vineyard, so it got me thinking of my little bit of vacation time there. This shot never quite felt right to me but I love it because it's lit solely by moonlight and Ursa Major is hanging out in the background.
King Tut in NYC
So I had the opportunity to photograph two of the world's most famous Egyptologists earler this week, Dr Zahi Hawass and Dr. Nicholas Reeves at "The Discovery of King Tut" at Premiere Exhibitions at 5th Avenue. I'm a bit of a History Channel junkie, so It was a bit of a thrill to meet Dr. Hawass, having seen him on so many programs. The exhibit itself is really well done, and although they're replicas, there's no way you would know...

Great American Songbook Foundation High School Vocalist Competition (what a mouthful, yessh!) winner Lucas Debard made his NYC debut at Feinstein's/54 Below the other night. Congrats on your big win and slaying the room!

Ricky Collins
Spent some time with the Brooklyn Bolts of the FXFL this weekend--guys working hard to make it, or make it back, to the NFL.
Bloodmoon
Did the blue moon, had to do the blood moon! Thankfully things cleared up a bit and was able to get this--I just love how the camera was able to pick up a few stars as well. Y;know, I miss the night sky, I miss the sense of wonder it invokes. Maybe I need spend a few nights away from the lights of a city...
Best Time Ever
So, I pretty much live right across the block from Kaufman Astoria Studios where Neil Patrick Harris is shooting his new live show, Best Time Ever. Last night during the premiere, he and Reese Witherspoon found themselves racing up rigging hoisted 10 stories in the air then ziplining down to the street. Naturally, I had to run to the roof to catch the moment after seeing a few rehearsals earlier in the day. Gotta say, totally real.
