No, I didn’t use my iPhone to capture this young woman talking on a cell phone while she’s standing in front of a photograph of a young woman talking on a cell phone, at fotofoto Gallery, Huntington, NY, on June 1, 2013.

Dozens of varied, creative images by students of photography were on display at the very well attended fotofoto Gallery Opening Reception of ‘Under The Influence’ Student Invitational Exhibition 2013, which I went to with Bob and my Nikon D4.

During the March 14, 2012 State of the County Address, Nassau County’s Movie Industry was one of the topics highlighted by County Executive EDWARD MANGANO.

I already knew about one of the films mentioned – the Phil Spector Biopic (2012), starring Al Pacino and Helen Mirren – because my daughter Sue was an Extra when some scenes were shot at Nassau County’s Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building, Mineola, in 2011.

Understandably, Extras aren’t supposed to start chatting with principal actors, but when my daughter was positioned near Ms. Mirren on the grand stairway leading to the building’s entrance, Sue was concerned how Mirren’s shawl was dragging on the steps.

So  – when the cameras weren’t on – Sue pointed out the hazardously droopy shawl to Ms. Mirren, who was charmingly grateful for the head’s up.

It felt like a punch to the stomach when I came across an eerie juxtaposition on 34th Street of the Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close movie poster & Manhattan’s iconic landmark, the Empire State Building, during my walk from B & H Photo to Times Square.
