On our last night in Paris (Sept. 6) we had the good fortune of getting on the guest list for dinner at Jim Hayne’s home. I can’t remember everyone out of the many people I met but I know I had a great time, and made some good contacts. The man is a legend, and eating dinner there you feel like you are part of a certain society, group, breed of people…something. You feel like you know something good about the world that the rest of folks have yet to realize. If you want to know what the heck I am talking about this should be a good start.

On another note, tomorrow I’m excited to be photographing Chicago’s North Ave. Beach as part of a global coastline clean-up effort for the Ocean Conservancy through Aurora Select, a NY Agency who’s contracted me to do the work. I’ll be one of twenty something photographers the world over and am in some very good company.
