4 weeks in vermejo

this summer i was hired by ted turner’s vermejo park ranch to photograph landscapes and wildlife.

and yes, i had to pinch myself every day…

vermejo is over half a million acres of mountain wilderness.  it is some of the most spectacular landscape in all of new mexico.

30 hours in new york

i had some work in new jersey a few weeks ago… so inevitably, i wanted to make a stop over in the city.

nothing more “new york” than jerry seinfeld.

and perhaps the naked cowboy… unfortunately…

i was blessed to spend the evening with one of my best friends who lives in queens, anna.

two of anna’s other friends happened to be in town as well… this called for karaoke.

30 hours anywhere is never enough.  especially new york city.  but my short time in the city, eating street gyros, singing karaoke with old friends, going to a wonderful church in brooklyn, and seeing as much of the “sights” as possible… was certainly better than not going at all.  i’ll take it.

yann, not yanni

my favorite french musician, yann tiersen, came to dallas (of all places) a few weeks ago.

he is best known for composing the amelie soundtrack, but his repertoire is comprehensive and complex.

tiersen does it all;  from traditional french accordion compositions, to classical violin melodies… he even performs pop, rock, and hip hop.

this show was mostly his hard rock stylings, and ethereal post-rock, violin infused atmospheres.

it was a real bonus as well to have local favorite doug burr opening for yann…

doug is a folk artist, with a southern tinge.  his melodies are hypnotic and lyrics thoughtful.

yann came out with force behind strings…

he even played the mouth accordion.

it was such a treat to see yann tiersen live.  to have him come to dallas, texas… i still can’t believe it.
