"Do Or Do Not...There Is No Try" - YODA

A brisk weekend morning at a decommissioned airfield in Flatbush Brooklyn, New York.
We, TEAM FANTASTIC 4 declared ourselves a "RUGGED MANIAC"

Despite the rain & the lack of sun, we had one fine day as
Philip Shalam & myself ventured off to Sheepshead Bay where we then boarded up on a couple of jet skis at Jetty Jumpers heading out for a 3 hour tour, a 3hour tour of the Brooklyn & lower Manhattan area.

130 am December 27th
I ventured off with great anticipation too have me a Hot Toddy after a Christmas that I was nice and not naughty
I walked and I searched moving on through the snow, underestimated the cold and that wind how she blows
I trudged onward and weary with nowhere to go, but one direction was left, that direction was home.
Now i sit here as i'm thawing out from the cold, my cloths wet and frozen, my beard filled with snow.
I took a few pictures of this blizzard 'burg land, I share with you now with Hot Toddy in hand.

Today one of my best friends mothers passed away after a long time battle with cancer.
I know that there are no words that can change whats happened or take away the pain, but to my dear friend, her family & all her friends I pray tonight & send all my love.
Pat will be greatly missed & forever in our hearts.

Don't Cry Because It's Over. Smile Because It's Happened.

Apparently some 55,000 people showed up yesterday to walk & support American Cancer Societies Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk At Jones Beach Board Walk.

I just want to share with all what a pretty fantastic feeling it was having all the camaraderie among so many. Walking with friends for friends and loved ones for a great cause.

Thanks to all !!!

Lifes truly a beach here in Goa which resembles nothing like the rest of it's surrounding India.
It's been sun, sand, me and the sea along with visits to the market places.
Here's a bit of fun with the waterproof Canon D10

Thursday November 12th I went by the J Klaynberg Gallery and enjoyed viewing a collection of photographs by Philip Shalam
A suite of staircases shot from various viewpoints and then inverted, displaying them upside down giving an architectural abstract view
I thoroughly enjoyed "Third Eye" "G Clef" and "Vertigo"
Names and pieces very nicely matched
