Imagining a Revolution

Creating a musical legacy that touches many people's lives -- and influences a new generation of singer-songwriters -- is something to be admired. My slide show from the John Lennon memorial on December 8 at Strawberry Fields in Central Park is a testament to the power of a well-crafted song.

Life's a Beach

New Yorkers used the ongoing heat wave as an excuse to ditch school and work. This slide show depicts children and adults having fun in the sun at Coney Island.

Food for Thought

Eating is an essential activity for sustaining life. Many cultures feature dietary staples like fruits and vegetables along with grains and meats in their cuisine. This slide show captures the smells and tastes of the Ninth Avenue International Food Festival, where one can discover mouth-watering items from around the world -- without leaving the United States.

What Is Love?

Depending on who you ask, the answer to that question is either "a journey that knows no end" (DeBeers TV commercial) or a "crazy little thing" (Queen). At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that "love stinks" (The J. Geils Band), while a few people -- most notably Joan Jett -- hate themselves for loving someone else.
This slide show captures businesses helping lovebirds (and the lovelorn) in New York pay homage to the heart on St. Valentine's Day. From chocolatiers and florists to nightclubs and restaurants, people young and old come together in the name of love.
