Night Fevers. Charlotte Sometimes. Mike Del Rio
Add Comment Charlotte Sometimes killed it tonight on The Voice...I couldn't help but pay homage to her! You go girl! She may refer to herself as Charlotte "Sometimes," but she definitely always sings her heart out! Hands down, best performance of the night! Great job Charlotte!! Check out this photo I took of Charlotte in NYC_2/4/11 
She rocked then and she definitely rocks now! Keep it up girl 
 Who better to photograph then a no-nonsense sassy gal like Wendy! For more information on this event click here.                                                                               The world is full of coincidences and meeting Art Koch was no exception! Art and I couldn't be any more different. For Example: He's big, I'm little He's older, I'm younger He's wiser, I'm...well, still learning He has a law degree, I have a BFA He's married with kids, I'm still living at home (don't judge) Get the point? But what I find most interesting about all of this is that although Art and I have our differences, our work is extremely similar. Its actually quite fascinating to me...I mean here are two people who have never met before, who are in completely different stages of life, yet have identical works of art. What better way to explore our interesting dynamic then with a photo shoot! My top picks of the day:       Art had his work cut out for him, for I am not one to want my picture taken...hence why my face is covered in most of these. Great work Art! My favorite part of the day? Working with my grandfathers magnifying glass.  Fashion's Night Out is wonderful because not only are you exposed to a plethora of different design perspectives, freebees and products, but you are also exposed to a variety of people. The first and most memorable artist I had the pleasure of meeting that night was Frank Caracciolo.  We made small talk and it was at that time that he shared some words of wisdom which go against what many photographers and artists have told me in the past. His exact words escape my memory but his message remains embedded in my head. In the past, artists and photographers have told me that this is a dying industry and that I should bite the bullet, move on and find a more secure job... But Caracciolo's message not only contrasted the words of others but inspired me to keep creating works of art. Rather then move on, he advised me to move forward. Stick with it. Keep creating art. Believe in yourself and your artistic abilities and good things will come. But enough about me, lets get to Frank! Caracciolo's work is unique because he turns his beautiful oil paintings into wearable women's clothes. His designs are colorful and most definitely wearable.  You can view more of Caracciolo's beautiful artworks by visiting his website: www.frankcaracciolo.com What was described to be a mix between Coachella and Burning Man, Escape To New York, was certainly not your average run of the mill music festival. This festival focused not only on music but the arts and some scrumptious cuisine as well!  This festival captivated my attention right from the get-go due to the fact that it emulated a fantastical land similar to that of Alice In Wonderland. Normally, I enjoy people watching on Phish Tour or at your local Walmart Supercenter but this festival trumped both scenes! People were animated with costumes just as colorful as their imaginations! Everything stated within Escape To New York's manifesto was pretty accurate. For example, Exhibit A is a photo used on the festivals website to give a preview as to what's to be expected. Exhibit B is what I came to find. Exhibit A:  Exhibit B:     I've attended many festivals in my day, however, none hold a flame to the art instillations showcased at the Escape To New York Festival. Each piece was innovative, varying in medium, purpose, and sense of scale. While enjoying an overpriced nice cold beer, a fellow festi-goer approached me asking if I had stumbled into the woods yet... I replied "no." It was at that time that this perfect stranger suggested I waltz on over and check out one particular piece, he referred to as "disturbing."  If this doesn't change your perception of good old Bambi, I don't know what will. I'm unsure what would possess one to construct such a _____________ (insert witty word here), but I do give this artist an A+. Why? Shock art. I am a firm believer in creating artworks which evoke emotion. Whether you are repulsed or titillated is irrelevant, the fact of the matter is, this piece impacted your mind in some way, causing you to have a reaction. She certainly got a rise out of many people, thus making this piece a success! Kudos! ***STAY TUNED!*** Part 2 of Escape 2 New York will cover: the ever evolving scenery, music artists & any other random bullshit I can blog about! For more reviews on the good, bad and ugly, check out Jetset Farryn's "Escaping A Teepee At Escape To New York Festival" A few months ago, I blogged about my trip to the Hallmark Institute of Photography! I did a few poses here and there for a girlfriend of mine and the proofs finally came back!  Although it's absolutely wonderful to have a photo like this to look back on when I'm nice and old...I think my place is behind the camera! I've had the pleasure of seeing this photographer grow tremendously throughout her time at Hallmark and it was a real treat to work with her. Look out for Mayella Lopez everyone, she's a force to be reckoned with! First gig shooting for Live For Live Music (.com) ... unfortunately we were not able to get a press pass in time, so my dinky point and shoot camera just had to do!           As it turns out, some of my photos taken at the HeadCount benefit were also displayed on: http://www.winesthatrock.com/New-Orleans-Radiators Summary: June 6, 2011 | Wines That Rock | Howard JLast Week, Wines That Rock crew hit the Brooklyn Bowl for a benefit concert organized by our friends over at Headcount. HeadCount is a great organization that registers voters at concerts and works with musicians to promote participation in democracy. The event was one of the final shows by legendary artist The Rads – otherwise known as the New Orleans Radiators. After 33 years, The Big Easy's premier jam band announced to ‘Fishheads’ it would end their epic run at this month's final performances. Final 3 shows (entitled ‘The Last Watusi‘) are scheduled for June 9, 10 & 11th at the world renowned Tipitinas in New Orleans. FROM HJ: The Rads have been a huge part of my world of music; from my first day at Tulane Campus, going to see the Radiators at Tipatinas, or getting ready for MOMS ball, The Radiators have always been pure fun. From everyone at Wines That Rock, we wish the Rads Bon Voyage! Photo provided by jaclynfidlerphotography.com- Thanks Jaclyn!
