Annie and I took some pictures together on Sunday morning. We had an assignment on teenage girls and diets, but the pictures were really for Annie. For Annie, whom we love.
I started overnight camp when I was 8 years old. 8 weeks each summer in La Plume, PA. Loved everything except the end of Parent’s Weekend, which was such heartbreak. All boys, no underwear. Lived in tents. Ridiculously competitive. Run by a Jewish dentist who would not allow Cokes except for one bottle a summer. Served them up when you were not even thirsty. Sardines were the contraband. Traded. Cherished. Shared in the darkness after taps.
Last week I had grilled sardines at Market Table in New York – they were exquisite. Tried them at home last night. Cleaning them was an adventure. Mine were better than dipping into an oily tin in the dark at camp but not as good as Market Table.
The Flying kids video is having a great summer. First it was selected to be shown by Getty at the Arles Photography Festival. Then it opened for Wizard Of Oz (shown above) in Memorial Park on a glorious summer night. You can see the whole video here.
In the meantime, I really think I need a red wagon.
Just read Michael Kobold’s blog from climbing Everest. This post took my breath away: http://everest-challenge.com/2010/05/tragedy-strikes-after-successful-summit-bid/
