In other bsquared news…I think I will be taking most of, if not all of August off again this year. Looks like I will be joining the boys and John on this year’s baseball trip! (with the agreement that we have to STOP anywhere on the road I say because I’d like to take a picture there).
I have some new shoots to post over the next few days (both personal and clients) so be on the lookout for those. Tonight we’re celebrating Passover here with our sorry excuse for a Seder but the traditional watching of The Ten Commandments with Matzo & Tunafish sandwiches will occur on Saturday night. Off to do some birthday shopping today for John and then to help out the Easter Bunny on either Friday or Saturday.
And because a post is just better with a picture, here you go:

Sue’s 40th birthday
*disclaimer: all snapshots with point n shoot. I was off duty and having lots of fun. And drunk.
I haven’t seen Sue in about 100 years- really since college I think. She came back to RVC for her party, and it was so great to see her! We had a blast at the party with drinks and dancing and all 80’s music, movies, clothes, and makeup.
Even got to catch up with Dawn who I haven’t seen in about 12 or 13 years either. She looks exactly the same as she did in HS (especially with the gobs of blue eyeliner and the Frankie Says Relax t-shirt and tuxedo jacket).
John got to pal out with Ray which is always lots of laughs for both of them, and even though I see Jen often at the boys school (and at baseball last year) it’s always great to catch up uninterruped (aka without kids around).
Sue, if you finally got your laptop and are actually reading this, it was fantastic to see you and I’m so glad we finally got together. I’m hoping to take that loooooong drive to Maine this summer, and if not, then Boston sometime soon. I miss you and love you. And there’s a banana in your tailpipe, chocolate cake behind you, and Jake Ryan and John Taylor in all your magazines! Happy Birthday!!!

The Turn in NYC (rehearsal & shoot)
I was invited along with my favorite band to capture them during rehearsal for the BIG show and to get some cityscape shots of them as well.
So I got to spend the majority of my day last Monday with the band, which is always fun. And got to listen to them practice for the show (you HAVE to come…it’s going to be incredible!!!). We’ve worked up some new 5×7 cards for them recently to promote the show:
Listening to them play and hearing how the show will come together is so awesome and interesting. Like the studio, it’s so fun being on the ‘inside’. However, I now always have my earplugs in my camera bag- it gets SO loud in that little room! I can still totally hear what they are playing and saying, but I can still leave without leaving my eardrums behind. Yes, I know. I am Old.
I also got to meet the drummer and bass player who will be playing with Brian and Pat in the BIG show who were very nice and very talented. I don’t think they knew quite what to make of me.
You know how I love my screaming shots of Brian.
I almost forgot how different it is photographing them when they are not acoustic. There’s much more movement and no sitting.
Did some shots on an NYC rooftop. Let me preface this part by saying that the wind was whipping (so much so that it kept knocking my flash over while mounted on the camera in the vertical position) and it was freakin freezing outside. A few times, I thought we were all going right over the side of the 37th floor!! It was way too cold and windy to stay out too long so we only shot a few.
Then got some inside. I’d like to think that it is me that is really funny and the reason for the laughing in the pictures, but actually Brian seems to crack both himself and Pat up during our shoots. Whatever works! Jeez, handsome much boys?
I know I say it in every post about The Turn, but I am so, so proud of them and the progress they are making. They are such good people and I adore being their friend/groupie/photographer!
I’d better see you all at the show rockin the Turn!!!

Citi field on Saturday
I know, I know. I’m a little behind on the blog posts. I will do my best to catch up this week.
Saturday (despite the cold and crappy weather) John took all 3 boys along with Grandpa Jack, Uncle That Guy, Aunt Nez and their three, his friend Paul and his family, his friend Brian M. and his son, and Brian and his son (Timmy’s BFF) Jack to Citi Field to see the Red Sox vs. the Mets. Still preseason, but baseball nonetheless.
I opted out. Surprising, I know. But I got some work done while everyone was baseballing it up. And after sleeping 12 hours Friday night into Saturday, I was feeling pretty well rested and efficient.
*and after some “complaints” by an unnamed party about having the bsquared logo on the point n shoot pix that I obviously didn’t take at the game, I decided to keep putting my watermark on there anyway. Too bad!

feelin the pink
I have no real favorite color. I like pretty much everything. But lately, I’ve been feeling pink. A lot.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I live with 4 boys and being the only girl (or in this house, glirl).
Just bought a new pink & black camera strap. Goes well with my pink raincoat, right? Which matches the pink Kindle and my pink phone. And this is the next pink thing on the list:
Off to Timmy’s school today to be Shabbat mom, and then to Jack & Patrick’s school cause it’s a half day. A playdate here with friends. John is supposed to be going to the Mets v. Red Sox tonight at CitiField (but the rain/wind will hopefully stop by then).
Saturday’s another busy day with a wedding meeting, the boys going to the Mets and a 40th birthday party for a High School friend. So excited for the party to see old friends and listen/dance to some awesome 80’s music!! Hmmm….Pretty in Pink???
