ocean grove

Watch the video
Barbara was our kind host in Ocean Grove for three days this last week. We enjoyed glorious sunshine, beach, surf, jellyfish and boardwalks. Of course we ate too much and drank too much and all that fun stuff you do on vacation. Sometimes the afternoon found us at the tiki bar at the end of the boardwalk in neighboring Asbury Park. A shout out to Rick - today is his birthday! Many happy returns.

alveo


A perfect weekend, beautiful sunshine, a pool, soft breezes, good company, what more could you ask for? When Angelo Musco asked me to model for his Alveo project how could I refuse? The concept of this piece has something to do with bodies immersed in a pool, where the water will be altered to look like honey. The bodies form shapes like a honeycomb, and, well, you can extrapolate the rest. When I looked at the footage later, I couldn't figure out what happened with one particular clip - until I came to realize that Tim had taken the camera to shoot me when I was in the pool. If you listen closely you can hear him disclaim to Ron that he is trying to keep Ombretta, his wife, out of the shot. In the end Ron couldn't get Ombretta's ring out of her navel - Angelo will have to photoshop it out. Be warned, there is human nekidness in this video - for the sake of art, or course :) Turn your audio up to catch the nuances - No bubbles! No Bubbles!
