It seems almost silly to post these photos considering the weather is actually nice today. New York is having some winter. Let me tell you. When I first moved here, a winter storm followed shortly after and everyone said this was the worst winter the New York’s experienced...
By now I'm sure you've seen the video of walking through an airport in New York. He's returning home presumably to get ready for his Adidas release and not-so-secret something taking place presentation during New York Fashion Week. As he's walking, a photographer is peppering him with questions. Are you...
One week and one day ago exactly, I celebrated my two year anniversary as a new(ish) New Yorker. It was a really good day. I worked on set at lookbook photo shoot for a clothing company and as Sheila E blared in the speakers at Pier 59, I couldn't...
