 |
| The Vegas Strip from the Stratosphere. The best time to go there is at dusk, so the the sunset and the lights of the strip mix with the lingering colors in the sky. |
 |
| The logistics of free-parking at these mega-casinos is something I hadn't really considered before about the Las Vegas experience. Like everything here, the scale is just way off the map. |
 |
| The lobby at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Before hitting the canyons of Utah, Mom and I spent three days in Vegas checking out the mega-resorts and seedier things. |
 |
| Yellow Melmac bowl. My dad got these in South Carolina in 1967 when he was stationed in the Army. My whole growing up he would eat a bowl of cornflakes in one of these. He still does. We used to have a set of six but now he's down to just this one. Apparently Melmac, some ceramic-like wonderplastic made by DuPont is quite the collectible on ebay. |
 |
| Old fashioned glazed donut from a Safeway in Cupertino. When I was a kid I gobbled these up. I've never seen this type of donut on the east coast. I had never considered that this be some sort of regional food but now whenever I come back to CA I always seek out a few. |
 |
| Mom & me. The tux was a little big. This is punishment for not appearing personally for a fitting (I was in Brazil). Any doubts, just go up a size. With all that feijoada, she must've thought I was gaining weight. |
 |
| Mazel tov! My brother Will & Karen Migdale were married on Sept. 25th on a gorgeous afternoon overlooking the 18th hole at Pebble Beach. I couldn't stay in Brazil and miss this. My brother put together a very cute website for the wedding, which has the whole backstory. The photo was taken by my Mother's New York friend Richard. I assumed, correctly it turns out, that everyone would have a digital camera and I could just get copies. |
 |
| Ground Zero from the rooftop terrace on the 22nd floor of 130 Vesey St., on the corner of Church. My friend Steve brought my up here to see the camera installed for Project Rebirth, an organization that is making a time lapse film of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center. After six months in South America it was great to be back in New York, if only for a few days. |
 |
| Bogota's skyline from the Monteserrate hill. I flew back from Buenos Aires with Avianca. I had a 12 hour layover in Bogota so I left the airport and explored a little. The Botero Museum is excellent, as is the Gold Museum. The view above speaks for itself. |
 |
| An artifact from Bogota's Gold Museum, which houses a small but exquisite collection of the few pieces of pre-colombian gold jewely not melted down by the Spaniards. |
| I'm in Utah so net access is spotty. Here's a few last photos from Buenos Aires. |
 |
| Lomito at La Cabrera on Cabrera & Thames in Palermo Viejo, Buenos Aires. |
 |
| Bar Varela-Varelita on the corner of Scalabrini Ortiz and Paraguay. |
