Had dinner on Wednesday with my friends Art Presson and Eve Kessler at Lucien, a quaint French restaurant on 1st Avenue near Houston. Excellent food. I know Art and Eve from the International Center of Photography where I worked part time while a student at Cooper Union and for a number of years after graduating. Art designed and the installed exhibitions at ICP’s old location on the Upper East Side. I was part of the crew. Eve also worked there part time, and then went off to Cornell to study law. She is now an attorney at the Legal Aid Society. At some point in this chronology she and Art were married. They have an exceptional photography collection, including several of my prints, which is an honor. Art is now a landscape architect, and is in charge of the grounds of the Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

On Thursday I photographed an office interior for TSC Design Associates. Kim Sly, who is marketing director of TSC accompanied me and my assistant. Kim has worked for three different clients of mine, so we’ve known each other for quite a while. The shoot went well, the highlight of which was when I perched above a workstation to get a view of a conference room. The office space was for Light Reading, a company in business media and telecommunications.
