Photography...........the way I see it (Moderated by BLeafe) / R.I.P. Jimmy Buffett

He wasn't one of my faves and I'd be hard-pressed to name a song of his other than "Margaritaville", but he was loved by a lot of people my age.

I never got to see him in concert, but he DID pop up one day in 1979 at a Robert Klein Radio Hour taping that I was shooting at RCA Studios in Manhattan.

People magazine liked the combination of him, Klein, Peter Tosh and John Oates (of Hall & Oates) together and ran the shot in their 9-17-79 issue.

I was driving thru my old haunts yesterday and noticed amongst all the new street signs there is one holding true to my childhood. Even the Hudson Street/Maiden Lane "intersection" got a new big and bold blue one but my old corner is hanging onto yesteryear

I saw..........something.........going on at the Middle School soccer pitch today, but I don't know what to call it.

A few tables/stations were set up here and there, a tent-like structure was seen that said "Parisian Beauty Academy" on it, occasional cheering was heard and 3 bodyless heads were getting their hair done.

Last 2 pictures: I saw an odd relay race that involved two teams, sponges and buckets of water (and while it was going on, I think some contestants in a 3-legged race strolled by).

Here's what Google says:

Sponge Water Relay Race – You’ll need two buckets full of water and two sponges. Divide the players into two teams. On “Go”, one player from each team soaks up as much water as possible into sponge and carries it to another bucket, squeezes out the water and runs back to hand the sponge to the next player. The team that fills their empty bucket to a pre-determined point first wins.


And here's what it looked like:

This occurred last Monday, July 31, when it was low in the sky (and orange). It was full the next night.

The rare "blue moon" - "once in a blue moon" (which isn't blue) - is on August 30. All "blue moon" means is that it's the second full moon in the calendar month.

OK - as I wrote to everyone I sent this to:


This one's a monster! (take small bites)
