If Work Was Like That…

My so called ‘landlord’ Genevieve who is also an old friend of Avi’s is recording an album and I had the pleasure of helping her to come up with a style, a theme and a cover shoot for it. It is going to be called ‘Songs From T h e  L o n g i n g  I s l a n d’ and that’s where we went for the shoot. Long Island. On the first really nice day of the year. I had persuaded a friends boyfriend to come along to take the pictures so we got out of bed at 5.30 and headded out of the city to catch some morning sun.

I don’t know what you think of the pictures www.ologie.com/Gen but I think they are pretty damn cool and they are not even the real pictures just the digitals. It was such a pleasure working with the two – it was the most perfect setting, Gen did a great job modeling even if she had never done it before, Dan was such a cool photographer and I take personal pride in the fact that I got Gen hooked on her first stilettos ever.

After taking advantage of all the morning sun (see my burned feet below) we had lunch and a glass of wine with a lot of old folks in a Soprano’s setting typ of restaurant. Loved it!

A little tipsy we went back to the city and right when we crossed the bridge and took a turn on Clinton the car started fuming -  the cooler liquid was boiling. Dan had to walk his two heavy equipment bags home while Gen and I were hanging out at a street corner waiting for the AAA (ADAC) when Gianfranco the Italian manager of a bar came out and brought us iced cappuccino. Nice! We watched a little boy go up and down the broadwalk on his scooter for about an hour till the tow truck finally arrived. First the guy was a little grumpy but when he heard that Gen was a singer he lighten up quite a bit. Looks like he is lifting the car himself in one of the pictures…

I took a ride with the tow truck till close to my house and then got off.
Nice cab ride!

Maybe not for the car but: What a fantastic day!
