Again this was from last year’s New York City Comic Con.  And what’s up with the Pez Garfield you may ask.  Well, see for yourself.  Where is Garfield now?

I love food, espcially when it’s the good variety. Putting each bite in your mouth is like Christmas morning. Great food will give you a flavor explosion with each bite.

Bill’s Special Baked Meatloaf with Hickory-Smoked Bacon and Tomato Chutney is just that, a flavor explosion with each bite. The name, also a mouthful, says it all. I don’t go that crazy over meatloaf, but this one is truly an exception.

This can be ordered in NYC’s NoHo star, a semi-small spot in lower Manhattan, Bill’s Special Baked Meatloaf with Hickory-Smoked Bacon and Tomato Chutney is just one of the many interesting items on the menu. One of my other favorites is Squid Salad.

This was from last years New York Comic-Con (which is less than a month away).  I must say, there were indeed attractive.

Apologies for the absense of this post. I got caught up with work and a few other personal chores. But now back to our regularly scheduled randomness.

This was again, shot in 2009, when my buddy and I went all out and ate at Morimoto’s Restaurant in Philadelphia. I shot it from the entrance vestibule looking in, as it does have that ‘wow’ factor when you walk in. With changing colors on the lights, and a wavy, aquatic feel to the place. I just wish I didn’t include that thing in the middle, it sort of is a bit distracting, ok, it is distracting. Hopefully i’ll get another chance at dining there again. It is one of the best food experiences i’ve ever had, and I don’t even care I paid $250.00 for my half of the bill.

IT WAS THAT GOOD…

Possibly one of my favorite cars of all time, and one of the sexiest cars of all time, the Aston Martin DB9 is a thing a beauty. Granted this is the drop top version,it still looks absolutely stunning, and it was a treat for me to be able to photograph this DB9 unexpectedly during a Euro Car meet I was attending in Long Island. The owner has had some custom work done on it, with some carbon fiber body work, but it doesn’t detract from the overall beauty of this vehicle. Hopefully I can get together with the owner and take some more shots of this extremely sexy car.

Duela Dent

Oh yeah, very sexy. I’d like to see her without the make up.

 Again, like yesterday’s photo, this was shot at last years New York Comic Con.  At first I thought she was a femme-Joker, but I was quickly told it was Duela Dent.

I can’t wait for the Comic Con this year.  Hopefully we will bring you some awesome images, and maybe even some video.

Still digging through my 2009 pool. I sure as hell shot a lot that year. This was a bookstore located in Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, PA. It’s at the very end of the market, and I found it out of place. Practically a market place full of food, and at the very end, stands a lonely book store. I processed it in black and white as I think it just adds some drama to the shot itself.

Maybe I should re-process it and add some grain, and some more hardness to it.

Thanksgiving, possibly my favorite holiday.  Food,football and Black Friday all form to make it one fantastical weekend.  I enjoy eating food as much as I like photographing them, and this particular one was our dessert selections for that night.  To the left was a caramel apple cheesecake a friend of mine made for me.  It was quite delectable, and is one of the best cheesecakes i’ve had.  To the right, pecan pie my mother made.  with the right amount of sweetness, it made for a great companion with coffee.  In essense this was the double team of dessert deliciousness.

Another shot from 2009, I had a lot of time then, as the company I worked for cut back our hours so that everyone can stay employed, and not have anyone get laid off, so to make good use of that extra found free day, I did some photography.  I should honestly find a way to do this again, even if it’s a few shots a day.  I do tend to get rusty, and looking at my shot list this year, it’s severely down from my usual 10k or shots a year.

Anyway, this shot was from a fine spring day in Central Park, NYC, it was quite gloomy, but I still somehow managed to squeeze off a few shots. This particular frame is a weeping willow, somewhere in the park.  I did some processing fun with Lightroom, and managed to produce this.
