Finding Obama: Inauguration Weekend Tales, Pt.1

January 8, 2009

The closest I’ve come to President-Elect Obama was last fall, when I pretended to shake this cardboard cut-out version’s hand in Union Square.

Traumatizing my Co-Workers To Remind You To Register To Vote

October 8, 2008

Besides shooting Voltaire and other interviews at Dances of Vice II, I spent part of this past Sunday at the last McCarren Park Pool party. This was my first summer to experience the pool party concert series, so I am glad I was able to go to at least two of the shows.
