Ok, for the year anniversary (at least the first LMC post since the 1 year mark, Hehe.), here is Beck. I have been a little bit lackadaisical with the music writing lately because of the whole Brazil thing. Back in the saddle, though. So I figured that I would make it a good one. Beck is [...]
Reagan has been threatening to get an iPhone for a while now. I have been threatening to leave out network, all together. My contract was about to be up in Feb., but Reagan carried through, on her threat today and bought herself a new iPhone. Since that kind of wrecked my plans to leave the [...]
We have been trying, for the last 2 days, to get a decent family pic for our Christmas cards. This has involved dressing up nice, dressing Piper up nice, and lugging numerous props etc. to and from the hospital. Piper has been an extremely good sport about all of it. I really hope that we [...]
There was a little soiree last night at La Pomme, in Chelsea for the release of a new Magazine called JM. I was able to break in the 7D at that event. Tyson Beckford made it out. Coco was hosting the event, since she is on the cover of the upcoming issue. The person that I was [...]
Pretty stoked about this new bad boy. My homey Zach, the CEO of V&F Enterprises, pre-ordered two 7Ds (planning to cancel his order on which ever one did not arrive first) that arrived the same day. He was looking for someone to take the superfluous unit off of his hands. I was more than happy [...]
It was bitter-sweet, to leave Brazil yesterday. We really had a great time there. We were initially planning on just having a casual Sunday and gearing up for the flight home, while lounging around the hotel, or something. Instead, we ended up having an action packed last day. We initially set out to photograph some [...]
We stared out the day with a bike ride around the lagoa, that sits about 6 blocks inland from Ipanema. It was a really fun ride. The outside perimeter of the lake is about 8 kilometers. It is great to see how many fitness minded Cariocas were out running and biking. Nike plus had a [...]
Reagan and I were both kind of sad to leave Buzios. We are now back in Rio, this time staying on Ipanema Beach. It is really nice here. It is a good spot to wind down and get ready to go home. It is going to be tough to go back to the grind, after [...]
Ok, Rio is pretty cool. But, dude, Buzios is insane! It is seriously like something out of a movie. The whole little town is a fishing community in a peninsula located a few hours north (by bus) of Rio. I was able to talk Reagan into experiencing the Brazilian Rodoviaria and cross-country bus trip that [...]
I was resolved to wake up before dawn this morning, so that I could shoot the sunrise from the point between Copacabana and Ipanema. Reagan was a really good sport, and came along with me. Not even being dramatic, it was one of the most fantastic sunrises that I have seen. I’m totally glad that [...]
