Bret Michaels at Mulcahy's 11-9-10

Bret Michaels was back at Mulcahy's this week.  As always, it was an awesome show and I mixed rocking out with some photography.  Can't wait for next year's tour.  He hinted at another Poison tour next summer (possibly with Motley Crew?) and promised another show at Muls.  This may become my pre-finals, pre-Thanksgiving tradition...great way to unwind before the stress...

Toxin at Mulcahy's 11-9-10

After Silent Generosity, Toxin took the stage.  They have been opening a lot of shows for BMB this year - I saw them open at Westbury in September.

Silent Generosity at Mulcahy's 11-9-10

On Tuesday night, I had the opportunity to once again shoot a Bret Michaels' show.  He was back at Mulcahy's in Wantagh.  Silent Generosity is a local Long Island band.  They were the first ones to open the night.

Bret Michaels on Long Island

I got to see Bret Michaels in concert again a few weeks ago. He never disappoints, even after all he has been through in the last six months. I played around with the manual settings on my camera for these shots...

Eastern Long Island September 2010

Keeping with the Hamptons theme, our last trip of the summer was Labor Day weekend, when we went out to see a screening of "Last Play at Shea" at Guild Hall...

We started the day at the Sag Harbor Whaling Museum. My sister had just read Moby Dick and wanted to learn more about this history...

Artists/Writers Game 2010

I wound up spending at least one day a month in the Hamptons, which for me was a first. In August, my sister and I went to the Artists/Writers Game in East Hampton. It has been going on for around 62 years and raises money for a couple of different charities. This year the artists won (yay!). Didn't get a lot of shots, but here are the few I did get. Better luck next year?

Eastern Long Island July 2010

My little sister and I took a trip out to Montauk and Sag Harbor the day after the 4th of July. This time I brought my Nikon to snap some photos...

Flowers July 2010

Random flower photos from the last few days, all shot with a Casio Exilim point and shoot...

Montauk June 2010

Last week, I had a lunch meeting in East Hampton and after it ended, I decided to take the rest of the afternoon off work. I bummed around East Hampton Village, went out to Montauk and up to Sag Harbor then ended the night by seeing Equus at Guild Hall Theatre in East Hampton starring Alec Baldwin and Sam Underwood - fantastic performance. Should have taken the time off sooner - I am still feeling the stress-relieving benefits. Here are some photos, mostly from Montauk. I didn't have my Nikon, so these were all shot with a Casio Exilim point and shoot...

Gen Y Tells Us Why

Last month, I spoke at a rally in Southampton hosted by OFA South Fork that was aimed at getting young people involved in politics. While I was waiting for it to start, I snapped a few photos...

Memorial Day 2010 at Calverton National Cemetery

This year on Memorial Day, after marching in the Holbrook parade, I went out to Calverton for the ceremony they do every year. I had never been there before and it was a very moving experience...

Maine Weekend 2010 - Sunday

Last day in Maine. Some random shots from the drive south...

Maine Weekend 2010 - Saturday

Saturday was the Fisherman's Festival. I wound up missing most of it, but did see a few of the events...

Maine Weekend 2010 - Friday

Friday in Maine...we went to a lighthouse we had never been to before that is northeast (I think) of Boothbay Harbor.

Maine Weekend 2010 - Thursday

Been a long time since I updated...law school finals and work sort of got in the way. Over the next few posts, I will catch up on what I have been slacking on posting.

These are from this year's trip to Boothbay Harbor, Maine for the Fisherman's Festival. I almost didn't make it because I had to finish my appellate brief for legal writing but after being awake for 36 hours straight, I finished it and submitted it and was ready for the ferry...

Before we left, I took some pictures of mom's flowers while waiting for everyone to be ready...

Soldier Ride

Way back in July, I took part in Soldier Ride the Hamptons. Shortly after, I started law school, which has kept me from being able to update this blog :) So, finally, here are the pictures from the event, which, I have to say, was one of the best days of my life.

The event raised money to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project, an awesome organization that helps our nation's wounded heroes. The bike ride was either 30 miles or 60 miles. I did 30 - and man, was that plenty! I rode in honor of Christopher Levi (look back a few posts and you'll see some photos from his homecoming), a wounded warrior from my hometown. The ride was held in memory of Jordan Haerter, a Marine from Sag Harbor who was killed in Iraq in April 2008.

The day started out with registration and breakfast at the American Legion Post in Amaghansett...
