new equation

It was pouring rain when we landed at LaGuardia, and the line at the nearest cab stand stretched all the way to the sliding glass doors of the terminal exit. There were few cabs lining up on the curb. We shook our heads and Don led me in and out of the terminal to another cab stand where the line was short and the cabs were plentiful.

We checked in and got to our room after 9 p.m. It was nice to look out our window and see the Chrysler Building.

Rain makes a city really pretty at night.

I hit the sack before midnight.

The sky was white and it was still raining in the morning.

We got to Pier 59 right on schedule and stayed on schedule all day. This project is a series of six shoots, and there are two parts to each shoot: one is the still photography I provide, the other is an interview taped by a videographer. My assistant Dan and I set up two portraits on the cyc, one against the windows overlooking the Hudson, and one in the cafe. We were hoping to shoot out on the deck, but due to the rain the deck was closed off.

We had a great crew (client and talent included).

Here's Dan crossing the street in front of Pier 59. We rented two chairs from Sam Flax we now had to return.

We finally hailed a minivan cab. He took us to the Chelsea and the Midtown Sam Flax, but wouldn't take us to the airport.

No problem. We got another cab and made an early flight out to Atlanta.

While riding in the cab, I kept pointing my camera skyward out the window. This is us emerging from the Murray Hill Tunnel.
