NEW LOOK

Some folks have commented on my new profile photo. It's a candid shot taken when I wasn't aware of the camera in the local "reservation"—kind of a nature preserve at the top of the "mountain" we live at the foot of. Not the way I see myself, but I guess the way I sometimes appear to others.

It was shot by my friend Torre Claesson, a Swedish neighbor who's a kind of renaissance man in his way—dynamite guitar player and creative director in the ad biz, but also an interesting photographer. I added his blog—MY EYE AND I—to my recommended list down to the right, check it out. The shot of a snowy NYC street was taken as we walked down Seventh Avenue yesterday morning together from Penn Station.
