Alas, there is no photo credit, but I did get paid for the gig, so I ain’t complainin’

Backstage Online: The Urge to Merge

The Municipal Art Society of New York asked today if they could use one of my photos on their website. A few Mermaid Parades ago, I braved the crowds and took my camera along and got a pretty neat shot of the crowd on Surf Ave. (The shot’s from a pedestrian bridge, and you can see the lines of the fence in the image.)

Well, the Municipal Art Society seems to represent lots of things that I think are totally awesome (urban planning, architectural preservation) so I enthusiastically granted permission for them to use the photo.

Here is the full story at the Municipal Art Society.

(I wish they’d have used my full name, rather than my flickr handle, but them’s the breaks.)

Edit: Well, golly! They actually read my tiny little blog, and credited me with my full name. Well, that’s the way the cookie spontaneously re-assembles itself.

This afternoon, I did a fun photo session with Clara.  The intent was to be a pseudo-fashion shoot.  As you will plainly be able to see, Clara’s modeled before and is a dream to work with.

Clara’s more than just a good friend of mine.  She’s my creative muse, my career coach, and my greatest cheerleader, all rolled up in one.  Our creative partnership has lasted many years now.  In the theater, I’ve both directed her and been directed by her.  I’ve performed with her and even won an award or two with her.

And, one more thing:  She’s also heart-achingly beautiful:

Please consider Clara for all of your acting, directing, modeling, and awesome-being needs.
