The Centennial was to be moved to another location this week. I walk by this place almost every day and marvel at the fact that no one ever restored it. Then, because it sits under the Route 9 bridge that's being replaced, Peekskill needs to move it. They say they plan to save the building. I wonder how it could be done as it was almost falling down at this point. Well, they said "It's a piece of cake" and started the process.
I watched along with many others, all of us thinking there is no way this is ever going to happen. It will surely fall down - all the time hoping it would make the move and be restored to its glory! Well, today they planned on moving it. I walked by on my way to the coffee house. I texted Amy and said they are moving it right now! Little did I know it would be the last time I would see it in one piece. Amy walked over and watched it fall as I drank my coffee. I made it back in time to see a pile of bricks on the ground almost where it once stood. It is a depressing turn of events. I am not happy... But now it is over. The tale is told. I am sorry it turned out this way. K

Just one of the many looks from this past weekend in The Hamptons, NY
We worked from 8am to 12 midnight! Thanks to everyone. K

I walk past this tree stump every day. Most of the time it just looks like a stump. That was not the case last week. After the rain this cluster of fungus popped up. I thought it looked amazing in the morning light and ran up the steps to grab my camera.
An hour later it was dried up. Funny how quickly beauty can disappear.

First time model Erin Conner was right at home in front of the camera.
Today was her first shoot. She did well!

Let me say, I am hard to impress. Patti LaBelle was amazing! I was floored by her performance Saturday night at the Paramount Center for the Arts here in Peekskill, NY.
Not only is she an astounding singer, she is also the sweetest person you could meet. Thanks to iTunes I now own many of Patti's songs.

New looks for my book.

The view from a high point after a 20min walk, just the other side of Bear Mountain, NY. Had an
interesting reminder of how fortunate I am - that I could see this beautiful vista. There was a man
hiking up the trail as I was on my way back down. He was blind and held tightly to the shirttail of
the man with him. Wow. And, he was doing better than I on that trail!
We take a lot for granted.

I was out enjoying the warm sunny day and checking out my new 105 micro Nikkor lens and this guy just walked right into my shot. It was my last shot so I didn't even see him until I got back and opened the files on the computer. I guess other living things may have spring fever too. Or he just wanted to see who was photographing his home without permission. Enjoy!

Get out this spring. Just don't walk this close to the tracks!
Enjoy.

Last month went by so fast! Here is a shot of Elizabeth Waite. She is building her model portfolio. So we had some fun changing her look. She is signed with Click Models in NYC.

One of my favorite looks from this week's shoot.
Thanks to Carlton (stylist), Lynette (mua), Lena (hair), and Tina Marie (model) for the hard work and long hours!

Sophia Bush the One Tree Hill star and Daphne Zuniga visited a packed house at Macy’s Herald Square looking glamorous in sky-high heels and fitted jeans. Despite the ridiculous crowd (check out the crowd! wow!) the two stayed calm and posed for plenty of fun shots.

I have some old polaroid a friend gave me. It's from 2005! (Thanks, Alec) I am working on a bunch of new images for my book and thought it would be fun to try something different. I shot the set with my old 4x5 press camera, processed the polaroid, and tossed the pic to the side. I then scanned the negative and changed it to BW in photoshop. Fun stuff!
