"Shelter from the Storm"

About that Umbrella of mine that I take portraits of from time to time. I originally got it maybe 14 years ago at the South Street Seaport.

This at the tip of pre-Sandy Manhattan.

The shop ended up under 26 feet of water for a day or so.

Hey new Climate what can ya do?

As for the famed Umbrella it survived fine.

I use it once a year at the Annual Coney Island Mermaid's Parade.

The rest of the time it sit open in my living room. A bit of smoke damage from the recent fire downstairs. 

However unlike my lungs it's good to go!

Below are some of my old radio pals that I still hang out with. I got kicked out, but thanks Marconi they stayed on the air.

Here they are several years back at the Parade. 

There's Sharon, and Anne-Marie. 

Also "Uncle Max" with Anne-Marie.

Known to millions or at least thousands as "Mr., and Mrs. Satan".

I'm behind the camera.
