Black Squirrels!

No sooner had I come down from the high of seeing and photographing my first white squirrel in Prospect Park when a few months later I came across a black squirrel in Fort Greene Park. "What's going on here?," I wondered. Mere months ago I had no idea of the existence of black or white squirrels, just regular ones. And now within weeks of each other I saw and captured on film both white and black squirrel in their magnificence?!? Something doesn't add up here, and I intend to find out what...

Albino Squirrels

Check this out! Fuckin' albino squirrels, Dude. Yeah, you know? White squirrels! I'm serious! Have you ever seen a white squirrel before? I haven't, and neither had most of the people I was with when I shot this bad boy. I was with some people in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY for Adam (ttp://wanderingwayfarer.blogspot.com) and Kate's going away party when this little beast was spotted. Oh, you should have seen all of us whip our cameras out and shoot that white little bugger. White squirrels, I didn't even know they existed!
I chose to publish these photos in black and white mostly so you can get a feel of how white this white squirrel was, but also because Adam (ttp://wanderingwayfarer.blogspot.com) does alot of his shit in black and white too! Yeah!

Welcome

So this is my first post and hopefully as you guys can tell, this blog is a tribute to my homie Adam's blog, Wandering Wayfarer (http://wanderingwayfarer.blogspot.com/).
At first I thought about just biting Adam's posts as well as his aesthetic: I thought about just checking his blog everyday and literally getting inspired by his shit post by post and creating my own mutations along the way.
Then I realized that was stupid for a couple of reasons, the first being that I could never keep up with that dude. If I do have any regular readers of this blog, don't expect a lot of hot updating action on the reg because you most likely won't get it. I know that a sporadic approach doesn't exactly conform to the sensibilities of blogging, in that blogs are supposed to be regularly updated, but I don't even have a computer, so get off my case.
The second reason I'm not just biting Adam's posts is because I have so many crappy photographs and rantings of my own to share with you.

I am perhaps New York City's most beloved yet unknown photographer of squirrels, pigeons and gulls. This picture here was taken on July 18, 2008 in Newport, RI, at the rehearsal dinner for the wedding of my good friends Jason Karahalis and Myra Jenkins (now Karahalis, dummy). This gull was just sitting there in its own crapulence and I was drunk and sort of doing the same thing, so I took its picture. I had my camera as it was a special occasion.
