I have migrated north to live in Canada for needed rest and recovery from surgery that I underwent after a cycling crash.

Recovery is going well.  I have been free of pain, so will begin yoga again in mid February.  I live where is is peaceful so am enjoying the quite nights for good sleep.    It is somewhat colder than New York, but Canada seems to have fended off the humongous snow storm that has struck south of the border.  For instance today it is -9C where I am it is 1C in New York.  When it is freezing it is freezing and not all that much difference is felt.

My photography has adapted to the simplicity of the cell phone.  Sorry for the silence. I didn’t die.

Eric Fischl, Bad Boy 1981

Last night I attended the Sixteenth Annual Pratt Institute President’s Lecture given by Eric Fischl entitle “The Death of Painting.”  Enlighten by the oratorical master as well as outstanding painter, I dined at the presidents mansion later that evening.

All is well for Thanksgiving celebrations as well as the birthday celebrations here on Cape Cod.  A dinner out with family and a tasty chocolate cake topped the festivities.

Full Moon Victor Carnuccio 1978

There is so much free porn on the internet that young people are returning to a chastised Victorian sexuality. The girls are looking to the same sensuality. The 60’s freedom of sex is over. Aids and overload of images that bombard us every day in advertising and on the intent as well as the music that fuels the drive of young males has culminated in a new sexual rebellion.

New York hotels are overpriced. I discovered airbnb.com where you can list your spare room to guests who want to save while visiting the big apple. Their catch phrase is travel like a human. My first quests arrived over Columbus Day weekend from Montréal. The guys were actually charming guests. I’ve booked my spare room all the way through the middle of November.

Fashion Week is over. Whew… My solo soho show was canceled due to bad weather and a wicked bike crash I had two days before the opening. I was on my road bike traveling on a downhill at about 20 mph.. Then unexpectedly someone turned abruptly without signaling. I flipped over the handlebars landing on my my right shoulder as well as knee head and who knows what else. X-rays showed a level 1 or 2 shoulder separation. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I’m almost totally recovered.

It was kind of funny to ask me to go slow ‘haste makes waist.’ I explained that road bikes are designed for racing. The idea is to go really fast.
