now there's a shot, Victor. I went to high school directly behind there at 156 w 56th street. Awesome location.

That high school probably shut down in the 1920's

Yep, and three terms of college too. And when I finally found my calling, as a high paid gigolo, that is, as the express bus turned on 72nd street off Madison, I opened the window and threw my math text book on the sidewalk. Almost hit an old lady too. Not as crack a shot as ToeMas.

Wow, Omar the newsbreaker. Whatever would we do without you? I actually want that new extender for my 200L.

Remember that lens, Nicky?

Well I made it back from PA in one piece. The car was fine. We went trap shooting and it turns out I'm a crack shot so you wiseguys better watch out.


It's a young 9 years old and running like a tank! Like the 'ol 5D classic I'll drive it until it crumbles.


I may be practically married, but am not actually married.

Oh, you're every bit married, dude. Maybe no paperwork, but you whipped, just like Nicky.

Hey guys, there's supposed to be a massive meetup (250+ people) at central park this saturday (nov 6) for a photowalk - http://www.meetup.com …95170/?a=ce1p_g​rp&rv=ce1p

anyone interested in going?

Doesnt surprise me that 250+ people have signed up to see me take photos. MDJAK would be lucky to have a single person show up

Sweet 16 anyone?

Exactly

Correct. With 250 people, you may as well go by yourself or with few friends instead. No one would notice you or care to talk. Adding couple of hundreds of tourists in the park on the weekend, you will end up taking shot of people.

I want to do another shoot this weekend either in Prospect Park (much quieter) or the Brooklyn Botanical Garden (believe the admission is free if going in the morning--happened to me couple of times). Or the Bronx Botanical Garden. I just got my Contax 35-70 F3.4 and want to test out some of the Carl Zeiss goodness. Nick still isn't convinced yet of the Carl Zeiss look...

I have an engagement shoot this weekend. Remember I was rambling about that with the foliage at CP? Hopefully I'll manage to salvage the situation.

Yeah, the Zeiss build was certainly nice. It oozes quality. But I'm not a MF type of guy...and I mean Manual Focus...not the other thing.

lol, are you also shooting the wedding Nick?

Nope. The Bride-to-be is my wife's co-worker. They are having the wedding out of state. They would like to hire me for the wedding as well but just can't afford NYC photographers (not that I am really all that expensive...not at all. But consider the travel expenses, etc...) so they found someone local and cheap.
