Here’s the slideshow with all the images:
Hiromi Suda was at the Live at the Gantries two weeks ago. We enjoyed her music and a great sunset.
Next I’ll show a selection of the pictures together with one of her songs:
The song is Chega de Saudade interpreted by Hiromi.

New refreshing point in Long Island City.
La Fraschetta opened on August 19th right by the Gantry Plaza State Park… They sell water, juices, ice-cream, sandwichs, snacks and more.
It’s the same people who runs Testaccio Restaurant on Vernon Blvd… You can order your food and eat it right by the park =)
Last week in Long Island City we had an amazing performance at Live at the Gantries with the St. Paul AME Mass Church Choir

Last week in Long Island City, under a beautiful sunset we enjoyed another concert of Live at the Gantries with Andy Statman.
People enjoying the jazz of this clarinetist, combining the soul of Jewish music with American roots music.
Andy Statman also delighted us with his mandolin:
Here’s the rest of the Andy Statman’s group:
Once again people had a lot of fun at the concert.
Thanks once again to Live at the Gantries for giving us such great music and entertainment.

5- Water
4- A Self-portrait

And the Free subject for Sunday:
We had a great day yesterday at Little Closets… I have to say that a lot of the kids were a little grumpy because it was their lunchtime, but with the help of the parents and friends we managed to get some shots with really cool expressions.
Check out the gallery to see my favorites images.
I still need to work on them so parents need to wait for a bit!
