like your mother said ‘before you leave the house wear clean underwear.’ has never before been more important than now. i am sure the TSA will be checking you status the next time you fly, what with the discovery of a new underwear bomber plot. the question is only how? any suggestions?

$10 limited advance, $15 advance, $20 door, 21+.
All guests must attend in period attire.
On Sunday May 20th, join Winkel & Balktick for a journey into the world of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his coterie of colorful characters. Indulge in the company of upper crust aristocrats, nouveau riche playboys, daring bootleggers, bohemian artist-types and kickline-ready chorus girls.
Our venue is the Andrew Freedman Home, an enormous Italian palazzo-style villa completed in 1924. Freedman, a Tammany Hall operator and financier, built it as a retirement palace for wealthy socialites who had fallen on hard times.
We will begin our celebration upon the limestone terrace and verdant lawn with croquet, bocce, bandstands and champagne. In the evening, the doors will be thrown open and we will continue our gallivanting within the recently-restored Billiards Room, book-lined Library and opulent Grand Ballroom.
The day’s entertainment, ranging from Jazz Age live music and performance to leisurely lawn sports and games, will be announced shortly.
If you are a devotee of the French Riviera of the 20s or the New York of the Great Gatsby, please contact us for performance and participation opportunities.
This event is generously co-presented with No Longer Empty, whose This Side of Paradise art exhibition and program series at the Andrew Freedman Home is open now through June 5th.
Since 1985, The Andrew Freedman Home has been owned and operated by the Mid-Bronx Senior Citizens Council, a non-profit social service organization devoted to serving the families, youth and seniors of the Bronx.

Avedon this summer in NYC
May 8, 2012yes a busy month to begin the summer with Avedon at Gagosian gallery until July 6, 2012 should have some pretty sharp images on display see the press release, you remember him right? he’s the guy who did this
and this
and my favorite
fun
how many models have i wanted to grab and shake their pretty heads until they understood what i wanted from them? but this was done in fun.
Opening reception: Friday, May 4th, from 6:00 to 8:00pm
“Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Richard Avedon’s legendary photographic murals and related portraits. The exhibition has been drawn from the collection of and developed in collaboration with The Richard Avedon Foundation.
By the late 1960s, Avedon had worked for more than two decades as a professional photographer. His visionary depictions of couture changed fashion in magazines and his commanding portraits of public figures were among the most venerated in the world. Avedon’s reportage, which he had made since the late 1940s and which included Italian and New York street scenes, had expanded to address cultural touchstones such as the American Civil Rights Movement and the inhabitants of a Louisiana mental institution.”
but hey who needs in focus pictures when you could be looking at some of my images trying to figure out exactly what i was looking at when i pushed the shutter. well i am right there with you, i wonder myself but then other times i nail it. BAM, for me the photography is just a small part of the picture and not the finished product. what does it look like on paper?
golden slippers
turning
and last but not least this
standing
well still fuzzy but you can move it closer to your eyes.
so as i said if you want to see sharp photographic images go see Avedon other wise take a peek at my work here for the real interesting photography, but it’s late and i am tied as i just got back from a long site survey and want to crawl into bed.
good nite.
