The Memory of Snow
I was back east visiting my family for Christmas it was really fun. We got our first big storm which was pretty odd for mid December.
I went to the Moma to see the Bauhaus exhibit which was hands down the most inspiring art exhibit I have ever seen. Being that my interests and inspiration lie heavily in font design, mid century furniture design, minimal architecture, intense game changing manifestos, poster design, etc this show had it all and the gift shop took all of my money.
Bought a repro of this awesome Schmidt poster. Classic.
Frieda and I went hiking at the infamous Camp Hero site of the supposed Montauk Project with my Family. I was stoked to finally go there I have read about it in numerous books because I am a UFO/paranormal geek. All though I remain sceptical of a lot of this stuff. If you are not familiar with the Montauk Project it is an ongoing conspiracy theory that the government used the base to prep psychics for remote viewing, teleportation, and inter-dimensional doorway bridging. The stories are quite out there and the base itself is pretty creepy.
The old WWII Bunkers are amazing. I wanted to go inside them so bad.
This was one of the largest arrays used for spying and operational until the 80s.
We found an abandoned burned out house with amazing ocean views. I guess the house next door is where Authur Miller hooked up with Marilyn Monroe, and next to that is Paul Simon's house where a single lucky cat lives all year around.
The city looked beautiful as always.
Hip shots with this particular lens are tricky. Kind of a shot in the dark. It's all manual and the focal range is super tight it only has about 6 inches of focused area the rest drops out real fast. So if your walking and not aiming...Sometimes I get mad like damn it's not in focus but then I remember that some of my favorite photos are out of focus so why does it matter?
It's always great to see B-boys hustlin' in Penn Station. Ill never forget the first time I saw break dancing I was in Midtown in 1981 I immediatly began practicing my floor work.
Frieda and I tandem we hit a jump and I wrecked on her pretty hard, you can see her neck folding under my body on close inspection. I look stoked and she's all broken, gosh I hope I'm not as big a jerk as this sequence proves...
I learned how to snowboard on this hill which is situated on a golf course at an exclusive country club in Long Island. It is at the base of Oheeka Castle the second largest private home in America and my mom said that one of the Jonas brothers got married there the night before which is crazy I thought those guys were like 16 and to think he could have been losing his virginity that very day. Amazing.
My mom is always down for sledding. It's pretty awesome.
