The “Kings” are back…
February 13, 2009
Just to weird you out pre-Valentines Day, I’m posting something terribly unromantic. Yes, war photos from the futuristic biblical drama, “Kings.”
I’ll tell you, I never know what will show up in my neighborhood on any given day. This is the fourth time I’ve seen the “Kings” crew…this time with blinding floodlights and solider boys! I guess it’s great news for the show and great business for New York City.
“Kings” doesn’t look like something I would normally view, but I might watch to see the final production edited down to reflect these epic battle scenes. I’d rather see a ballroom scene with gowns, make-up and big hair! Highly improbable, I know, given that the show is a military drama. But, hey, when (or rather IF) there are any, I’ll be sure to post pics!

Butterflies on Inauguration Day!
January 20, 2009
So I woke up this morning, Inauguration Day, and saw this in my Brooklyn nabe -
Invasion of the butterflies!
Change in the American Monarch-y!
How’s that for CHANGE! Obama said it was coming!
I wasn’t sure what the orange flags represented but I soon saw a film crew & extras setting up to shoot scenes. Apparently it’s for a new NBC drama called KINGS (which has nothing to do with Kings County aka. Brooklyn). I don’t know how much of the Brooklyn Museum will be on the show, but it’s nice to see my neighborhood in films again. For some reason, automobile and pharmaceutical companies are fond of filming their commercials at the museum. I’d personally love to photograph a wedding or two on that balcony.
Speaking of filmmaking, have you seen those breathtaking shots of the National Mall in Washington D.C. this morning? It is definitely not CGI.
I repeat, no CGI. Those are real people…100s of thousands of them to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama! What an amazing sight. I “cried my eyelashes off” like Oprah at Obama’s Democratic Nomination and Presidential Election wins, so I’m sure I’ll need my Kleenex in an hour. No matter what you do today or what party you supported, we will surely make history.
