Yesterday evening we headed over to Jersey City to Chris's sister's place. Jackson is taking guitar lessons so he showed us what he's learned so far. He can't wait to learn a full song.

Thursday night, a group of us got together for our friend's 30th birthday. We rented a party bus, loaded it with alcohol & headed to Atlantic City. After breaking down on the turnpike & getting on an even better party bus, stopping for gas & realizing the driver didn't have the key to the gas tank, we finally made it to A.C. We had a blast!

It snowed & sleeted all day Friday. On Saturday, I decided to put on my snow boots & hit Central Park. You could hear kids laughing as they slid down hills on brightly colored plastic sleds. Parents were snapping pictures and laughing. It really was a nice day.

Taken today on a walk about in the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park at 5th Avenue & 105th Street. It snowed & sleeted all of the previous day and luckily stayed around long enough for me to snap a few pics - and get my feet completely soaked.

I saw these 2 guys on my walk about last weekend with Olivia. I'm still not used to seeing people rolling by on segways.

I shot this while on a walk about through Central Park this past weekend. The weather in NYC has been very spring-like & everyone is simply enjoying the sunshine. Can't wait for summer!

My friend Olivia & I went on a walk about in Central Park yesterday because the weather was so very nice. At Bethesda Fountain, I ran into the Blue Vipers of Brooklyn. I discovered them last fall at the Water Conservatory in Central Park. They've got a great sound so go check them out on myspace.

This is David Cederquist & David Hale of Quiet Library. They filmed a music video sketch in the Ridgewood, NJ Cemetery last weekend. What you can't see in this picture is the snow & ice on the ground. By the time we finished around 2 pm, the guys were filthy from sitting on the ground & lying on the pavement. There was even some raw meat involved toward the end of the shoot.
