Duke on Christmas Day

As I close out the year, I realize that I've probably LOST more than I've gained. But there has always been one constant, and that's this guy here.

Duke was rescued from the Bergen County Animal Shelter. He had been there for about 4months and was ready to be...err..sent off to a kill shelter.

We got him and he's been my buddy ever since. He stinks, sometimes farts, and eats everything in sight. But I love him. He's awesome with The Boy, and even The Woman tolerates him.

He's a good egg that Duke...

For the camera nerds out there: this was shot with a Canon 5D classic, coupled to a SuperTak 55 f.1.8 via a Fotodiox non AF confirm chip. ISO 100 @ f2 and 1/125.

sapporo lantern

Was playing with a "new" lens today, an Asahi Pentax Super Takumar 55 f1.8. Yes its old...yes it's fully manual...but wowowow. The focus ring on this is awesome.


This is a lantern outside my favorite ramen joint EVAR!

Still my favorite ramen joint in NYC. Sapporo on 49th. I first discovered this place about about 5 girlfriends ago...ahhahah

Teef!

I remember when I was a kid, I LOVED the Tooth Fairy. It was an awesome deal: I got something for nothing.

It was magical...financially sublime. For a tooth, that arguably, I didn't NEED anymore (hey it was old...it fell out!), I got CASH. Cold, hard, cash. Ducats...Moolah...Dough...

So today, the boy's first tooth came out...and I found myself wondering: What the hell is the going rate for the Tooth Fairy in this horrible economy? When I was 5 way back in the Carter Administration...the Tooth Fairy would leave me a couple of quarters...or even a buck for the bigger teeth.

But what about now? My GF told me the first one should be the most money. Okay, so like, a dollar bill would do the trick I thought.

She shot me a look as if I had just suggested we go mining for diamonds in our backyard...that is to say...like I was crazy...

She was thinking more along the lines of a tenner...10.00...TEN DOLLARS.

Whoa! have times changed THAT much? C'mon Tooth Fairy! Publish the going rate, adjusted for inflation and the value of the US Dollar.

But anyway...here's a pic of Mr. Toothless himself






Been awhile....

Seems like it's been a bit since I've posted. Life has been coming at me pretty fast lately. So fast that sometimes I feel like I can't keep my head above the ever rising tide. But sometimes, I just gotta take time out for me. So, I finally took that advice (thanks Glenn) and went to go shoot pool with my homeboy and consigliere, and my favorite beverage (that fake cappucino that 7-11 doles out of a machine).

Back in the day, I shot pool almost 2-3 times a week, sometimes more. I hadn't walked into a pool hall in almost 4 years.My cue, much to my surprise, was still straight (it's a "decent" Mali).

It almost felt like going to confession walking in there....

"Forgive me pool hall, for I have sinned...it has been 4 years since my last 9-ball game...."





There will be NO shots of the game..its much too ugly to mention.
