It took me a while to post this but I'm finally getting around to it. I personally know Spencer and he is a great guy. So humble and so intelligent. There is always something whirling around his mind, especially when he is just sitting there quietly observing the soiree.

The Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach and guest curator Kimberly Marrero bring you this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to be part of Spencer Tunick’s upcoming installation.

The resulting photographs and videos made on October 8th will then be exclusively exhibited in December during Art Basel Miami 2007 at the Annual Sagamore Brunch hosted by Cricket and Martin Taplin, Martin Z. Margulies and Constance Collins, The Bass Museum of Art, Patricia and Philip Frost Museum at FIU, Lowe Art Museum, Miami Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art and The Wolfsonian.

Contemporary artist Spencer Tunick is widely celebrated for his elaborately posed installations of multiple nude figures within interestingly select public settings. His temporary site-specific installations have taken place across the globe in cities including Lyon, Melbourne, Mexico City, New York and Barcelona to name a few. Tunick gathers legions of volunteers to take part in his elaborate installations which in the past have drawn numbers well into the thousands.

So yea, many of you know I ride my bike everywhere. I used to race bikes until it just hurt more and more. I'm lucky enough to live on South Beach where I can do it ALL on a bike. I don't have to worry about parking, insurance, car payment, tickets and of course DUI (although you can be pulled over on your bike). I've had my bike for five years here because I always bring it inside at night and lock it up in a well visible area with a good lock. If it rains a quick $5 taxi ride will get me there as well.

Also, many of you know I adore Stylish HOT women wearing even HOTTER shoes. Check out a few of my shoe shots on my flickr site under Fetish? If you put them together you get this heavenly web blog. I am ready for this to becoming a trend here in SOBE!

Power Napping has been a good thing for me. I keep odd hours photographing and dj-ing late night parties here in south Beach where the party never really ends. Well, maybe around sunrise for me. So, a good nap here and there is paramount. Call it a power nap, disco nap, detox nap, whatever. Sleep is essential to feeling good. Here are a few benefits to naps:

Increased alertness and productivity
Increased cognitive functioning
Boost your creativity
Better health
Less stress



The 20 minute nap seems to do the trick without feeling groggy or tired still. My favorite is the caffeine nap. Check it out:

The Caffeine Nap is simple. You drink a cup of coffee and immediately take a 15 minute nap. Researchers found coffee helps clear your system of adenosine, a chemical which makes you sleepy. So in testing, the combination of a cup of coffee with an immediate nap chaser provided the most alertness for the longest period of time. The recommendation was to nap only 15 minutes, no more or less and you must sleep immediately after the coffee.

It works great with a shot of espresso also.

That's a little scary if you think about it. A contract until you die. That sounds like my cell phone service. I guess if it's anything I get along with the best I choose Apple. Apple has made me a happy camper since I first bought my iMac in 2000. Ever since then I haven't stopped creating something. Be it photography, music, movies, web site and of course my personality. Motto,Think Different. Apple has been good to me over the years so I guess it be fitting to say yes, till death do us part.

I'm back from blogland vacation. I moved into a new place with new furniture, a parking space, a washer dryer and free cable DVR. So, after looking at a lot of new and cool websites that feature apartment living (Ikea, Apartment Therapy, Ready Made) I am finally back on the writing block. I have been looking at personalizing my new place with a new aquarium as a matter of fact. I came across a site that is what I was hoping for. Check out the pics and site when you get a chance.

This one is my pick.
