I was driving around Atlantic City, NJ, this past week when it suddenly occurred to me that the names of the streets and local places sounded a lot like those on the game Monopoly [old, US version]. Am I the only one who didn't know the relationship? Geez.

Things to Do in Louisville KY

Had to take a break from reading and watching tutorials about portraits, studio lighting, off-camera flash, etc. It's fun but it's a lot to take in at once.

I was at strobist.com reading "Lighting 101" and learned that I've had my umbrella stand adapters attached upside-down, which made it extremely awkward to adjust, believe me! The darn things don't come with instructions! LOL

I'm all tapped out of ideas for shots.
Room was shot at the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art.
My wife and I were shot in my home studio (aka the kitchen).

On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad

Started the day with Starbucks coffee and street vendor breakfast then spent the remainder of the day at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead of taking a taxi we opted to walk through Central Park on our way back to the hotel. For dinner we ate at the world-famous 55th Street Deli. Fun, fun.

Exhibit: Anish Kapoor, Untitled, 2007

Still very busy trying to cram in as many NYC tourist experiences as possible. I'll catch up with your shots just as soon as we get back home. I see most of them on my cell phone during quick breaks in the action but there's too little time on the laptop.
