La lettre de la photographie
Nice surprise this morning, a picture of mine I had submitted to lalettredelaphotographie.com was published! I love this website so I was flattered although they published at least 400 pictures of amateur photographers over the summer…
All that said, I highly recommend that site! if you click on the picture below, it will take you there directly.
Enjoy!

I Love Japan
On March 29th, I went with my great friend Rike to a very special concert. Yoko Ono had invited her friends to perform with her for some exceptional Benefit concert at Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan. I was curious and really wanted to see and hear her and I have to say, the line up was quite tempting. There was Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band, Sean Lennon, Patty Smith with Tony Shanahan, Lou Reed, Anthony Hegarty (from Anthony and the Johnsons) and Cibo Matto…
It was really an AMAZING evening. All the performers were incredible and all playing together, it was very spontaneous and had the feeling of a Jam session. In addition Le Poisson Rouge is a small venue so the musicians were very engaged with the crowd.
I was very touched by Yoko Ono. Although she is a conceptual artist, her song performances are really touching. You can feel her pain and frustration although she seems to have a very light-hearted personality.
Here is one song written by Yoko Ono and interpreted by Anthony. It is lovely and very appropriate in these circumstances…
And just because Yoko is such an unusual artist, here is a video of a performance that doesn’t quite translate in video.
Honestly, there were so may great moments that evening. One of them seeing all these fabulous artists coming together to raise money for Japan!
to donate money to Japan you can do so at the Red Cross here
both videos are from spcedog on youtube.com
Thonnet
This is what happens when you ask a 3 years old to step aside so you can take a picture of the Thonnet chair in front of you… Hummm, well, I guess it turns out to be different than what I had in mind, but I like it!
I am done!
