Childhood in Manhattan - New York City

Childhood in Manhattan

Families wander through Lincoln Center

Children with their parent in one hand a bunch of bright baloons in the other. Why does this make me think of Mary Tyler Moore? That wasn't even in New York!

Find a nice spot to read your paper

This woman was perched, seemingly happily, on the fountain in front of Lincoln Center, reading her New York Times. Seems like an excellent way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Tamir took this photo, knowing it'd make a great shot. He was right!

This is a real party dog and, yes, a model. He's been photographed with many a famous person. Introducing Dexter, the wonder dog!

Looks tasty! - New York City

Looks tasty!

Birthday parties

If you have the chance to go to someone's birthday party, you should go. Heck, if you have a chance to go to any party, go. At this particular party, there was a theme of "jungle room", and the place was decorated with flowers, vines, tiki torches and the like. The guests dressed, generally, for the jungle and fun was had by all. I found myself surrounded by writers, directors, photographers, makeup artists, models, actors and entrepeneurs. A very New York Experience.

It doesn't FEEL like the middle of Manhattan - New York City

It doesn't FEEL like the middle of Manhattan

Relaxing in Central Park

On a beautiful Spring Saturday, an ideal thing to do is relax in Central Park. Catch some zees, catch some rays and relax a little.
