"C.U. At The (Insta) Grammys!" -Columbia U + Instagram + IPhone = Job Photo Shoot

Now I'm not one to be on Twitter very much. Other than posting links to bring unknowingly folks back to this very blog, I'm not inspired by what I generally read being tossed back and forth and recycled/re-tweeted on there. However, I did read a time lined tweet I saw that @djdnice had posted some pics of B.O.B., Wale, Snoop, & 50 using Instagram and giving it HIGH praise on there. For those not in the loop, Instagram is a GREAT app tool on the iPhone/iPad for photographers both novice & skilled alike. Which brings me to this point. Just yesterday, based on how sunny it was, I decided to REALLY explore the app and the camera (which I NEVER hardly use...at all!) on my iPhone and do a "photo shoot" of some cool stuff that caught my eye around my gig at Columbia U. Oh...wait...you didn't think I worked huh? Sh****t, I gots bills to pay too man. LOL! Anyways, I cut down the amount and posted my favs below to show you (and myself) that with a good eye/app ANYTHING is possible! And speaking of cutting, who's cutting me the check for this heavy endorsement? Send your best Instagram pics (to theMreport@gmail.com) and if
(big on the IF) I like 'em I'll post them here on the blog. Now go get 'Gram crackers kids! Enjoy...

"Bird, Bird, Bird, Angry Bird Is The Word!"- Tell 'em Why You Mad Son! Cluck You...

Now you damn well know that when ever anything is remotely popular (IE don't be shock this Spring to see "Winning" ala Charlie Sheen t-shirts about soon) folks involved are always looking to market (IE "cash in") on keeping in America's psyche (and wallet) Case in point, this "Angry Bird" phenom that's sweeping across the world and my iPhone...and my iTouch lately. I'd be the very 1st to admit that "YES I am an addict!" At baby showers, wakes...God bless the dead, gallery openings, bar mitzvahs, you name it! I constantly STAY pulling that sling shot back. R.I.P.'n that greedy green pork! I'm getting off track now, but what I wanted to give you is a heads up about is that not only are there plush toys coming out (or are they out already), t-shirts (mine is on back order) AND a damn cartoon are in the works! Saturday mornings will NEVER be the same! True be told after the Smurfs it NEVER was! Anyways on another note, a friend who was frustrated called me frantically wondering "Hey, I'm stuck on this level HOW do I get off?" I told her without the least bit of hesitation "Oh that's simple, just drop down and and get yo (Mighty) Eagle on girl!" But I don't think she got it. LOL. Slow chick probably somewhere STILL dancing! BONG!

"Bright Lights, Big Pity!"-Pt.1 Of My Vegas Birthday Wknd

I'm a firm believer that instead of reminiscing about the past, one should focus on creating NEW memories! So this year for my birthday, I was pleasantly surprised to a trip to Vegas to getaway for some "electric relaxation." So I quickly packed my stuff (clothes, camera, cash), headed to the airport at a time in the morning where even GOD is still sleeping, disrobed for security (loose change, shoes, belt, watch, wallet, iPhone & iPod) for a 5 hr flight in a tight middle seat between to hefty passengers and treated to CHIPS & A SODA(?!) for sunny Las Vegas. Once we arrived we were greeted by not a car service driver, but the relentless 90+ heat saying "Welcome to Vegas BABY!" Now, I KNOW you've heard almost legendary tales about guys (and girls) drunken adventures out west but today I come to you with a different side of Vegas. A Vegas of yesterday, a Vegas once run but mob money, glitz and glamour, and the home of the Rat Pack and the background for Scorsese's movie classic "Casino!" Sorry to disappoint you but the highlight of my trip wasn't a night of alcohol induced random sex with a bride to be, or a quicky wedding w/some budding Cali model/actress looking to piss off her ex. It was (for me) a walk down (neon) memory lane in awe of all the old huge neon signs that once was the symbolist of Sin City. It was my last day there so we (G 'Ski & I) took a guided tour through "the Boneyard" of the Neon Museum (click on name for info). Now they make up sign some wack waiver not to use the photos taken, but OBVIOUSLY I said f**k it only cause you NEED to know & visit this place on your next trip out there! If not for the history, but also to personal witness the sheer SIZE of these things, they're ENORMOUS! I'd get into the history of the signs but I'll leave that to the experts to do that when you visit. I was scheming on just HOW could I get one of those niffy "M's" back home to BK, but imagine getting THAT through the metal detector!
