Weekend Update

This past weekend, along with editing some recent photos, I went to see An Unfinished Film. I have seen many films dealing with the holocaust and Nazi concentration camps, but this film was so brutal and raw that it gave new meaning to the word SURVIVOR.  It’s an important film for anyone who denies the existence of the holocaust and for the rest of us to remember and truly see the evil which only man can do.

On a lighter note, I also went to see Mike and Doug Starn’s Bamboo Garden on the Metropolitan museums roof.  It was like an adult jungle gym; an elaborate, intricate, and wondrous structure that was truly amazing and great fun. Originally, The World of Interiors magazine approached the Starn brothers London gallerist to see if they would be interested in making this bamboo garden to be photographed by the magazine. The gallerist, thinking it wasn’t prestigious enough, told the brothers to turn it down. Against his advice, they went ahead with the project and upon seeing it, The Met commissioned the Starn’s to create it again for the rooftop of the Museum.  A lesson to all you artists out there; FOLLOW YOUR GUT.

Another new find – my dear friend Georgette Farka’s does PR for Daniel’s Restaurant Group and suggested we try the Food Hall at the Plaza Hotel. It was casual, counter eating with wine service and a variety of different foods (fish, meats, pasta etc.) all at different counters.  Convenient, tasty and fun – try it!
