DC Harbor Patrol

Established in 1861, the MPDC Harbor Patrol is a critical, but largely unknown, part of the Metropolitan Police Department. The Harbor Patrol polices all of the rivers, inlets, and waterways that surround the nation's capital. The 20-member unit encounters the same types of incidents that occur on DC streets including disorderly conduct, loud music, domestic violence, high-speed chases, and robbery suspects.

Shot during my Labor Day / Sunday, 6 September 2009 photo walk through Georgetown click the image to view my newly launched DC Harbor Patrol album which is also found in my MPDC 2009 album.

Berlin's Nicolaus Schmidt "God Dancing/Spiders Flipping" Exhibit Opening at NYU's Deutsches Haus - Tuesday, 15 September 2009

In spring 2008, the Berlin artist Nicolaus Schmidt portrayed a typical part of Berlin nightlife culture with his Gayhane portraits. In his second art show at Deutsches Haus, "God Dancing/Spiders Flipping" the artist tells about a world-wide known youth and street culture phenomenon with his new N.Y.B.P. (New York Breakdancers Project) series - a long term cooperation with local New York City breakdancers. The artist prints his large sized photographs by himself on Hahnemühle* fine art paper.

Khaya Cookies ... With A Cause

Reading the latest issue of the Philadephia Magazine while in the dentist chair last Thursday, 3 September 2009 I came across the Eat This Now: Khaya Cookies article by April White that I'd like to bring attention to the Khaya Cookies Company which was founded by Cinnaminson native Alicia Danielle Polak in 2006. Not sure, but, Khaya Cookies may be available at some Whole Foods in Washington DC but, if not, you can order them online. Or, if interested ... become a wholesaler.
