It is not my intent to turn this in to a political blog, but with the DNC underway and the state of the world as we know it right now, things continue to be on my mind. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked in a “news gathering” capacity that didn’t involve sports coverage, and while I don’t miss it, I have felt the need to start a bit of a journalistic project.. In any event, I found myself walking past what I’ll call “Signs of the Times” the other day, and have decided to start looking for these signs (as well as other “telling moments”) and see if I can’t create a little picture story along the way..
These are two of the “Signs of the Time” (“SOTT”) that Molly and I passed on Saturday..
The first – nicely lit by the florescent MTA lighting scheme, I must say (I am so in love with my Nikon D3 – the first camera I can say that about since the F5 – more on this incredible and amazing camera to come)..

The second, Molly and I passed, just minutes later, as we walked north along Central Park West, en route to my dad’s apartment for dinner.. “There is no such thing as ethical torture.” proclaims this sign on the Ethical Culture Society Building – I couldn’t agree more…

More of these to follow – I’ve really taken on a number of promising personal projects of late, but I’m excited about each and look forward to bringing you along for the creative process.. highs and lows.
Alright, sorry to be brief (again) but I’ve got to do a bit of work, and have pack up some gear for a portrait that I’m doing of my brother, Phillip and Ruff Lauren (aka Paw Newman) for a German fashion magazine (to be named later)..
Peace!
