This winter hasn’t been really cold, but we have had many snow days. I was driving to work on one of these snow days when I saw this family leaving Saint Nicholas Park after a day of fun sliding down the hill and playing in the snow. Seeing this put a smile on my face but made me wish for spring. I think I would rather see the kids running across the street in bathing suits. Bring on the Spring….
Today I hung out with a Pop Star, no not Britany or Rhianna, however, she has been compare with both stars. I had such a great time on a shoot. I love it when it all works together, meaning I put the dad and reporter to work for me. She was so down to earth and willing to put up with my crazy ideas. At one point I had everyone in the bathroom. Kristine and I were in the tub, her dad was sitting on the toilet and Chris, we found him a spot by the door. I will send a link when it runs in the paper until then here is a little peek. I know you are like who is the pop star, well her name is Kristine Elezaj. And to see a more picture sneak peak check out the Review Press Blog.
You are never too young to look pretty. Watching this girl put on lipsticks reminds me of my own experience with Tinkerbell Cosmetics. I wouldn’t go anywhere without my pink gloss and my pink nail polish that you could peel off five minutes after i putting it on. It is funny how you can see yourself in little kids and all of the memories rush into your mind. So, I say to all the grown-ups out there, take the time to do something that you love and reminds you of simpler times. Better yet tell me your favorite childhood toy.

It started out as a pretty slow day at work. I needed to find a feature for the paper. After having lunch with someone special I decided to take pictures on Rye boardwalk. I am so glad that I did. Yes, the wind did whip at my face, but the calmness of the water and the ribbon of colors made it simply breathless. Here are the pictures I took today down by the boardwalk.
I urge you take the time to enjoy nature, even in the cold. It just might change your outlook for the day.

I was underground today it was way cool. Last year, I got a chance to travel underground near Grand Central to see the constructions of the new LIRR station. Last time I was there they were just getting started. This time I came and boy have they made progress. It was so much fun and I almost fell in while walking in ankle high mud.

Americans cast ballots in one of the most significant elections in the history of our nation. A year ago today, Barack Obama was sworn into office as the 44th President of the United States. Obama, who has been the president for a year now has been plague with many headlines and stories. The first issue in his presidency was the economy with job loss, widespread foreclosures and uncertainty in the auto industry. While the campaign was focused on the economy lets not forget about the campaign promises like health care and closing Guantanamo Bay to Afghanistan and Iraq.
Before commenting about Obama first year. Lets take a look at the road to the White House. Over two years ago, I began covering the people who were apart of changing history. They were first time voters, new immigrants, and centenarians to revelers dancing in city streets around the world. After coming off the heels of Bush Administration communities had feelings of euphoria. I wanted to capture this mood of change and hope.
Enjoy this slide show.
Behind the Lens: Road to The White House
It has been a year and I have mixed emotions about Obama’s first year. There were a lot of high expectations for Obama. As I was listening to an interview I did for The Barack Obama Block Party with Tara Lake. I could hear the excitement of in my voice documenting Obama’s win as president. I fasinated by this man who seem to have people memorize with his speeches and slogans of Yes We Can! I knew it couldn’t be done within his first year, we were facing way too many problems as a nation. Now that this year is over, I still believe in Obama, but I feel like he can do more. I know we need to have better health care systems where all American can find coverage and are not penatlized because of income. But, as to how do it, I am not sure of the best way. Yes, I do feel like our troops need to come home, but how to do you leave a region that you have destroyed. How do you equip these people with the tools and resources. Better yet, how do we change the corporate greed in our country. All of these things need to be dealt with and I am hopeful that Obama can tackle these issues. I am sure we not feel the direct impact during his four year term. I guess you can call me the hopeless dreamer, who believes that Obama has chops to facilate change. But, what do you think? What are you impression of his first year. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Below are some great timelines of Barack Obama’s first year.
