And just like that, a quarter of the year has passed by.
Not really my best shot of the day (there were 300) but emblematic of the kinds of photography I often do for work when we have major events. This one was for a huge, huge, huge march and rally in downtown New Haven. It felt like old times (ca. 2003).
Roaming the city and taking pictures has become something of a post-brunch ritual for Matt and me. He tends to shoot a lot more than I do and we have very different perspectives as photographers, so there's lots to learn from the experience. Today we walked from the East Village down to Battery Park along the river, enjoying the sunlight.
On the mend, skipped practice, though that was due to having lots of work. I feel back in the saddle again, working on a video project. And spring draws ever closer, last night's snow aside.
So, I'm sick. I tried to do the long practice at JJC today despite that fact, and that ended in, well, not tears, but wheezing and me crapping out in the start of the main set. Then I came home and took a nap and forgot to get a photo, so this is me playing with the self-timer after I got up from my nap.
Supermoon ended up being really cool to photograph (and challenging). Also, it was freezing.
Apparently the real supermoon is tomorrow, though if it's significantly larger tomorrow than today I will be astonished. In any case, there will be tripod tomorrow so the shot should be better, this is me laying in bed looking out the window.
So I finally switched to shooting in RAW, and am now glad that I did. Why? Because I was able to remove most of the signs that this view of the Philadelphia skyline was shot from a moving train.
This is a work photo. We have a display up in the lobby of our building to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Fire (UNITE HERE is a successor union of the ILGWU). Several of my very talented colleagues put in a lot of effort to produce this and it's just fantastic.
Things you find on the streets of Manhattan.
The big day in New Haven went well. Came back to the city and saw Radiolab Live with Nathan and really enjoyed it, it was entertaining, provocative, and I learned all sorts of new things.
Here are the silly medals they were giving out at the meet (New York State Short-Course Yards Championships - which is not to suggest that all masters' swimming in NYS was represented).
Here's Charles, our superstar, setting a new meet record in the 18-24 200 fly.
Sure it probably counts as cheating. The main thing I accomplished today was getting a new iPad. I didn't initially miss my old one when I sold it for a 11" MacBook Air, but after a few weeks I found myself wishing I had the iPad instead. Once my WoW days were over, I no longer had a reason to "need" a personal laptop, with my mobile production needs covered by my work machine, so I was once again interested in a couch-top device to keep me away from my desk.
.. or not. The subway system, of course, is not spared tonight's noachian deluge.
Synthesis of Day 65 and Day 67. This is over at the West Harlem Piers, next to my new supermarket of choice. 
That's Fredrick Douglass (not Karl Marx) in mosaic in the 110th St BC subway station, being right below an avenue named for him and all.
I saw the most incredible theater / dance 'happening' or whatever we're supposed to call it tonight, Punchdrunk's Sleep No More.
I didn't take photos on my donut safari to Brooklyn this morning, since the conversation was engrossing and then came the rain; the rain kept me indoors the rest of the day and then boom, it was 11pm and I had no photo.
Did a high-end retail tour of the Ostzone with Brent. "All of your class issues will explode and light your hair on fire," he said (referring to Ralph Lauren). 
Tough day. Lots to think through, lots to fix, lots to put together again.
I promised my family I would do this photo at some point.
