Skate Day in NY 2008

I ventured out this day to document the NY City Skater turnout and to my surprise it was a lot more culturally diverse than had ever expected. My own son who skates is Puerto Rican and Korean but the amount of Black and Hispanic kids skating blew my mind. The kids were super sweet and willing to talk and be photograpahed. Just meeting a handful of them brightened my day.

お目にかかれて光栄です It is an Honor to meet you

I sometimes say to people be careful about meeting your Idols because you might be disappointed. Well I got to meet and Interview the Legendary Photographer Nobuyoshi Araki in his Native Japan. He was as energetic and exciting as I expected and more. I can see how someone like him can motivate a subject to do what he wants because his energy is so infectious.
I also got to meet for a second time Oscar Nominee Rinko Kikuchi and do a brief interview with her. She is stunning to look at and very mysterious. I had wanted to have Araki interview her but that never materialized. Look for more pics soon on these subjects.
