Dylan Egon's Great American Dream Machine
"How the fuck did I wind up in New Jersey?"It's a question that I ask myself every now and then. And I can explain, with confidence, some other time. But as I've been pondering this since my recent visit to the NJDMV, I may as well get it out in the open. Let me continue by saying that I have no intention to offend anyone, and I am very happy where I live. But as I tell my wife, Jersey City will not be my final resting place.

The Hummingbird: Patrick McMullan's captured moments with Iconic New York Women
Several years ago I heard a guy at a cocktail party tell his circle "I spend most of my time between Manhattan and the Hamptons. I live in Huntington." I suppose that's good for a chuckle, if you are familiar with Long Island both geographically and demographically. Better if you actually do live in Huntington, but I think this guy was wisecracking. Looking back, I wish my pal Patrick McMullan were there, because he actually did grow up in Huntington, and would have a lot to contribute to the conversation.Go to Article

For me, that feeling never goes away. Why should it?Go to Article

All the World's a Stage: A CT weekend with James Salomon
When I closed my Chelsea gallery back in 2016, I was really down in the dumps. My friend, artist Richard Pasquarelli, took me out to lunch and invited me to his house in Bantam, CT for a little change of pace. Rudderless and adrift, I said yes. Maybe I could find something worthwhile to do up there. Anything.Go to Article
