Stylin! (All Photos By Gail)
On a recent commute to the office, my eye was immediately drawn to a woman wearing a sage silk baseball jacket transformed into something extraordinary — its surface glittering with dozens of safety-pinned soda can pull tabs. Was it a one-of-a-kind creation? I’d like to think so. What’s certain is that everyone in that subway car knew they were in the presence of true New York Street Style. Props to her!

This week’s Pink Thing is a fun spy pic that I took while watching the Live Painting competition (and enjoying a tall cold one) at Five Points Fest in June. I rarely see a Pink Panther tattoo — and this one is excellent — so I feel lucky to have captured it in the wild.

Confession: I am obsessive about taking photographs of art that includes no people in the frame. To achieve this goal requires great patience.

For Mother’s Day, I’m giving you want you want most: a photo of me with a famous person! This shot of me with Robyn Hitchcock was taken at a very crowded press preview at Morrison Hotel Gallery on Prince Street in SoHo at least ten years ago, judging by the style of frames I’m wearing. I had met Robyn many years earlier at a Grant Lee Buffalo show in Seattle, and we share a mutual friend, so we were able to carry on a somewhat interesting conversation beyond me recognizing him as a famous person. The reason I have that sly look on my face is due to my friend Anne attempting to sneak a photo of us. I do not photograph so well in profile, so I wanted to turn my head and save the shot. Mission accomplished!
