Another door

  Where are those sons of summer now? The winter has come And you don’t know how to turn your Dreams into coal Your books won’t hold you Carly Simon, Sons of Summer I feel overwhelmed by those markers indicating summers’ end.  There’s today’s weather, whipping to a head after months of unseasonable coolness as…

Michael, Farrah, Joni: Love is touching souls

 When the dust settles from the week that was—the news tributes, the restoration of EBay and Amazon catalogs, the pending autopsy—one question might surface: where were you when you heard the news?  I’d just walked into Casanis, a Lower East Side bistro, for dinner with J; after I placed my wine order he told me…

Black and White Memoria

Ultimately photography is about who you are.  It’s the seeking of truth in relationship to yourself. And seeking truth becomes a habit Leonard Freed Over the weekend I made an attempt to meet up with my spouse for a gallery hop in Chelsea after yoga, but alas, the ones we targeted–ah, how best-laid plans get…

Shutter Chic

The man who inspired my favorite film musical now has an exhibit of his fashion photographs at New York’s International Center of Photography. AVEDON FASHION 1944-2000 runs May 15 through September 6. Whether Richard Avedon was shooting models or indigents, few could couple style and subtext so beguilingly. Viva Black and White! Above, Veruschka, dress by…

Past Present

Sunday April 5 is your last chance to catch Martha Clarke’s The Garden of Earthly Delights at the Minetta Lane Theatre. From its hypnotic opening promenade, as actors enact the evolution of beasts into humans, to its climatic high-flying ascent into a Dantéan hell, this artful interpretation of Hieronymus Bosch’s painting (a recreation of a…
