Went to a lecture/concert at Columbia a couple of weeks ago, entitled, “Jazz and the Neuroscience of Decision Making: A celebration of mind and soul.” One of these people is a neuroscientist, the others are jazz musicians.

A Cricket Match
Another of my father’s Kodachrome shots (see the full story here). Is that Father Brown observing?
Josephine Herrick and the NY Brain Injury Association
Last Fall I had the opportunity to teach photography to a group of students from the NY Brain Injury Association under the auspices of the Josephine Herrick Project at St Francis College in Brooklyn. Last week we celebrated the opening of a month-long exhibition of the students’ work there. Here are a picture of several of the students, some other well wishers, and my co-teacher, Linda Kessler (crouching, 4th from left).
Watching Live Music
How we enjoy concerts these days…
Tal!
Went to see Tal Wilkenfeld at the Mercury Lounge last week. She’s a phenomenal bass (and guitar) player from Australia who burst upon the scene about a decade and a half ago. Known for a while for her playing with Jeff Beck she has developed her own voice and style, singing lyrically, and playing jazz-inflected kick-ass rock’n’roll.
Exhibition
The class I co-taught last Autumn will be exhibiting its work in March, with an opening reception on March 7th, if you’ll be in New York.
The War in Liberia
I went to see Michael Kamber’s slideshow and discussion on Photographing the Liberian War at the Bronx Documentary Center a few weeks back. A fascinating discussion from Kamber, who was there and some Liberians in the audience. Afterwards we perused an exhibition with stark and dramatic photographs of the war by the late Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington, as well.
