Our close friends Lori and Mordecai are the proud parents of Rosie. She decided to come into this world a little early than scheduled then had a extended stay at the hospital. She is now home resting comfortably in her own bed now and growing every day. I was honored to be able to photograph Rosie after she arrived at her new home.
I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge to area where the service was being held and here are few images from that walk on the ten year anniversary of 9/11. The fire department marching back to their fire house down Park Row just off Broadway after opening ceremony. Needless to say it was a very emotional day for many in and around ground zero. Walter was greeter at Trinity Church where many people gathered and attended services. The field of flags a flag for every one who died on 9/11. The new building finally being rising from the ashes. The USS New York LPD-21 anchored in the Hudson river and people lighting candles on the promenade in Brooklyn at make shift memorials. With the tribute of lights reaching skyward.
Pretty powerful reportage Kevin. Thank you for this!

Just wanted to add a few more of the folks that braved the chilly water of the Atlantic ocean on New Years Day. The weather held out for the Coney Island Polar Bear annual swim. The water was a chilly 38° while the air was about 45°. There were plenty of swimmers and lots of people supporting the swimmers. The Polar Bear Club is the oldest winter bathing organization in the United States. Though temperatures were higher than usual for New Year’s Day, the Polar Bears said it the water was still plenty cold and invigorating.

It’s time for the Annual Feast of San Gennaro, New York City’s longest-running, biggest and most revered religious outdoor festival in the United States, it runs till Sunday, September 26, 2010, on the streets of historic Little Italy, the lower Manhattan. It is a festive period of faith and redemption, a time for remembrance and reconciliation, and a time for celebration. The delicious food, the free musical entertainment that reflects Italian-American culture and heritage are all there. The Feast brings the world to Little Italy and Little Italy to the world. Not that I’m Italian or anything like that. It was an exciting adventure. They estimated about 100,000 to 150,ooo were in attendance
A friend of gave me an ebook by David duChemin to read. It got me to thinking it’s time to try something new. So here are the rules that I came up with for this self assignment and they are like this: one camera body, one lens 50mm, set to one ƒ stop ( I chose ƒ 2.0 because I could), ISO set to 640. So to get proper exposure had to use the shutter speeds. So off to the festival and below is what I came back with. Most of the images are straight out of camera with a few basic corrections for color and exposure applied to them in Aperture. Enjoy!

Hi Kevin,
That looks great! Good photography Back to basic. Just react to the situation and read the light. I like.
I have to tell that when I teach photography at beginners level I always tell my students about the first occassion I assisted you. It was a shoot at the Astoria hotel by Central Park. You were to shoot some sheik who owned the hotel at the time. We set up light in the lobby. Two flashes in the background and one main light for him. While you ran back and forth to control the light you told me to change the lens on the Hasselblad to the 50 mm lens. I did so and let the camera sit on a tripod.
The Sheik arrives and you shake his hand and grab the camera and the tripod. And the 50 mm lens falls off the camera on to the marble floor. I felt devastated so stupid. You checked the lens and put it back on to the camera. One advantage of using a famous expensive brand is the quality. Miraculously the lens was without a scratch! The shoot went well and we worked quite a few times together and I did really enjoy.
The point of the story is that you always have to check when you change lenses that it sits firmly on to the camera. That you passed the “click” when screwing on the lens.
Take care! Greetings from Sweden

During my travels I found this gentleman playing the bag pipes. He was on the corner of 23rd and 5th avenue in New York in front of the Toy Building and across the street from Madison Square Park home of the Shake Shack.
