How Shooting Pics at the 2014 Puerto Rican Day Parade (NYC) Helped to Improve my Photography
One thing I love about being in New York is that when I’m looking to scratch my photography itch, the City provides a truly unending wealth of interesting subjects. On this particular day, I thought I’d take a few hours and get some practice in by taking my camera out to the Puerto Rican Day Parade, which ...
Restaurant Review: MamaSushi (Inwood, NYC)
Like many of the other restaurants in the area, MamaSushi is located in a relatively small, but cozy venue, alongside a row of hole-in-the wall bars on Dyckman Ave, one block north of the A train. With names like the Campesino, the Chimi and Las Terrenas, you quickly realize that the rolls you’re choosing from aren’t going ...
Easter Sunday at Hillsong NYC: 2014
Although the majority of articles on my blog revolve around various reviews, tonight I just wanted to give props to the man upstairs for continuing to make an impact in my life, and for reminding me of who I am to Him, and in Him. Having lived in New York City for the past 9.5 ...
Restaurant Review: Nai Tapas Bar (LES, NYC)
Just another one of those inconspicuous Manhattan restaurants, whose storefront doesn’t do justice to the experience that is awaiting inside. A few weeks ago, a group of friends had agreed to meet for a birthday celebration at Nai Tapas Bar, located on the Lower East Side. For larger groups, Nai provides a delicious fixed menu for $40 per person, that ...

Our performers for the night included 3 World Salsa champions, the recent 2nd place finalists in the World Bachata masters, and one of the hottest international ...
Ready, set, gooooooooooo!
Wow, I can’t believe how quickly this year has been rolling by! I knew that the frequency of blog posts would probably take a hit due to the holidays, but I can’t believe my last post was in November ’13. A lot has happened since then, both positive and negative, but definitely all of which ...

F&F Dance Company Launch Party (7/26/13)
Just wanted to report that the launch party was a great success! It meant so much to everyone in the dance company to have the support of all the friends and family who showed up last night. The energy in the room was really tangible, and was much appreciated by everyone who performed on stage! ...
JR at the NYC Highline
Was at the highline today (towards 30th St entrance), and was surprised to see JR, a French street artist (and 2011 TED prize winner) working on his latest project. For those who believe in art as a medium for change, check out his awesome story in the following link. It’s a bit long (24 min), ...
