Radio Silence Weekend
This past weekend was all about celebrating the release of the fine book, Radio Silence. On friday my wife and I met up down in the lovely DUMBO section of Brooklyn under the Brooklyn Bridge for the big release party. And it was indeed a big party. Lots and lots of people came out. I was expecting to see lots of old faces or as Glen Maryansky put it so well, it was like going to a high school reunion. But, surprisingly there weren't too many people there that I knew. And it was a little too crowded and loud to really try to mingle and meet other contributors to the book. Which I was hoping to do. No such luck, but I was quite honored by the presence of some friends who chose to come out to celebrate with me. They made it a truly special night. Especially the good hang out times at the bar after the party finished up.
The next night it was all about the photo show. Anthony and Nathan had the photographers in the show (those in town that is) show up early so we could all see the show before the little gallery filled up. Smart move. Also, it allowed me to meet some wonderful people. Great people like JJ, Rusty, Gail, Jeff, Glen, Claudia, and Alex to name a few. But it wasn't all fun, Anthony and Nathan put us to work by having us sign 100 books. Special editions. If you're into that sort of thing, find your way to the gallery and pick one up. Also available are some limited edition shirts with some images from the book. I've got one of a Chain of Strength shot. It's pretty cool looking. The gallery quickly filled up and good times were had. Some more friends came out to help me celebrate this event as well. It was truly a wonderful night and a great way to start the celebration of the release of this book.
It was a great weekend. Thanks for Anthony and Nathan for doing all the work in providing the good times.
The photo show moves to Boston next. Be prepared.
