Even though I’ve spent very little time there, I love New York. I think it’s the most dynamic, vibrant, exciting place in America. It’s got the best food and the worst traffic. Every nationality on earth calls the place home and you can find any product you’re looking for somewhere among the city’s hundreds of ethnic markets. Because of this constant influx of immigrants, the city maintains a diversity – not just in the color of peoples skin, but in the cultural traditions that make a place so interesting – unparalleled in this country.
Okay no, not for my photography business. I’m included in the photo that will go out with a press release about the Burke & Herbert calendar I told you about. Pretty sure I shouldn’t be stealing the photo and posting it here, but you can see it and a couple of others from the quick shoot here. Less than a week later, and as I sit here typing this, I am wearing the same exact outfit. In the photo, I’m the third person from the left.
We were supposed to get all manner of crazy wind and lots of rain last night, but the “storm” was little more than a blip in the area and some areas did see serious weather. But sometimes we do get awesome, crazy weather. It’s a relatively rare event here in mild-weather Washington, D.C., so I have to cherish it then. I’m sure if I lived in tornado alley or blizzard-friendly Chicago, I’d be well sick of thunderstorms, hail and nasty weather. And I’m not unaware that harsh weather brings a lot of suffering to a lot of people every year.
