Good morning. Anyway, yesterday I’m still in that location. I’m actually getting bored there. My other locations like in Chinatown, Canal Street next Pearl Paint, all these artsy tattoo, wild looking people and then of course Soho people, the interesting people on 32nd. This is very fashionable street but the people aren’t that exciting. I might have to go to another store.

Anyway, yesterday: there’s something you learn being a paparazzi of the common man on the streets of New York all day. In the morning there’s a lot of crackheads and heroin junkies and just any type of addict. They party all night, they get high and then in the morning they have no money, they’re not high and they’re really, really cranky – pretty close to being violent if you bother them. That’s what I learned, don’t take pictures of addicts in the morning because they’re not right in the mind for a start and they could be very aggressive.

Of course I almost had an incident yesterday. But my passion for photography of that great shot overrides my fear. So I do some stupid things.

So last night, I went to a wine event. They always have some great chef there who shows off his famous hors d’œuvres. They were great. There were these stuffed mushrooms with a 25% stuffing of sausage, 25% stuffing of venison and then some steak and they were amazing. I hold myself back from eating like 80 of them. They had a clove wine there. Not that it’s made from cloves it was a red wine with a clove taste. It’s interesting. It was dry but sweet. It was – I wish I’d remember the name of it. I think I want to get some of that.

Yesterday, photographing on this 7th Avenue between 36th and 35th, I noticed a lot of people wearing trench coats like more than ever. It’s like there are so many trench coats, they’re probably going to start wearing them in two weeks and everyone’s want to want what they’re wearing. So you’re going to eventually see three to four days of heavy duty trench coats. I have one myself. I’m probably going to start wearing it.  Weekend’s coming up, I got to prepare myself for the evil wicked nightlife.

Signing off.
