Last night Nicky Egan played at Rockford Music Hall. It is the first time I have heard her sing. Inspired by Janice Joplin she has a soulful voice that filled the space.

La Grenouille NYC

This morning on my way to work I stopped off to check out the new flowers at la Grenouille and they were beyond beautiful. Charles was hard at work arranging everything and had his favorite bloom. Here it is. It looks like a cross between a rose and a tulip but it is in fact a renonule.
Here is the link to the website for more info La Grenouille

The Frick Young Fellows Belle Epoque Ball

Last night was the Frick Belle Epoque Ball. It has to be my favorite old home in NY. At least it is one that I can get to go inside and see how magnificent it is.
Last night was beautiful as always. The weather is so warm that everyone could leave their coats at home. I saw Olivier Cheng who had a busy night running up town before me from Cartier where we had both seen each other earlier.

Bri Arden at Rockwood Musical Hall

Bri is so amazing. Last night after work I went to hear her sing at Rockwood. I first saw her a few weeks ago when my drummer friend Jake Cohen told me he was playing with her.
She has a great band behind her. This week it was a little different. Her back up vocalists were both guys and both playing instruments, one of whom was Jake.
After singing a few songs she picked up a guitar to accompany her singing and then wiggled her way onto the piano stool to show that she is not only a great singer with a big voice but also she has a lot of musical talent to go with it.

Ginger and Tim

Wow what a fun time I had with Ginger and Tim on Saturday. It was St Patricks Day and we had overlooked this when we set up an engagement shoot at Grand Central. The station was so crowed. Finally we decided to head outside and we were met with swarms of people. We had planned a photo on the steps of the Public Library but this now seemed very unlikely.
We headed west through the throngs of green clad revelers.
Suddenly we arrived at 5th Ave. To the north were thousands of people but to the south there was not a soul!.
It was one of those magic NY City moments!

La Grenouille NYC

Just in case you were wondering what the flowers looked like this week at La Grenouille here is a snap I took on Tuesday. Have you had lunch upstairs there yet? So yummy and less formal than downstairs. Men do not have to wear jackets and there is a special prix fixe.

NY in Las Vegas

Everyone who knows me knows that I love taking photos with my iPhone. I do not go a day without adding to my collection of snaps. It amuses me to look back on this visual diary. 2 weeks ago I was in Las Vegas for only one day. I found time to walk down the strip. Here are the 2 shots that sum up my stroll.
Only in Vegas!
