Unseasonable warm January and February in NYC.




We spent a couple weekends up upstate this spring — here is evidence we actually got out of the city.

We took a Memorial Day trip to Dia with Shizu, Enrique and Emile. Of course the adults just ended up drinking too much wine although we were able to safely get home via Metro North.
Continue readingWe were able to spend lots of time with family and pets. Needless to say we also drank lots of wine. As cases leveled out in NYC, spikes happened in the mid west, which was scary, so we self isolated as much as possible.

We finally felt like we could leave the apartment so Momo and I took a quick walk down Riverside. Momo calls the pandemic Corona-poopa-virus, btw.
Another trip to LA where we stayed at our friend Ji Won’s, hung out in Palm Springs and visited the Marin / Bagnaschi family in Pasadena. I guess we also went to OC to hang out with Mosa and visit Newport Peach. Ohhhh also ran into Peter’s old friends — Raoul and Danielle — from Atlanta who own an amazing spot in Echo Park. How did we do so much in so little time?

Summer in Ohio! Although now Momo is mixing up Ohio and Hawaii and calling it Ohihi.

We spent a couple days with Liz, Claudio and Nata at the Snoopy House or as Momo liked to say, the Puppy House, on Fire Island. We also ran into Lori S which made the whole trip feel more magical.

Lots of early summer time socializing with Momo and friends, especially since the little one travels so well and is so great around both friends and crowds.

Gabri visited from Torino and we took the water taxi from Williamsburg to DUMBO on the way passing the old GH studio and Domino Sugar Factory. We walked to the promenade and through Brooklyn Heights to a new bar where the primos had beers and Michi had ginger ale. Of note are the new condos and renovated buildings across the street from the apartment and glimpses of the new WTC in the photos from BK Heights.

We broke the news to the Rentz/Bagnaschi family on a July trip to NW Connecticut for a wedding party at Uncle Bruno and Auntie Carla’s. Here are some photos from Burr Pond. Incidentally this pond is where I took my first photos 30 years ago with a Pentax MG.

Starting to collect all the first frames of rolls that cut off in interesting ways.
