Sarge's beats out Katz's
I must say that I have been to Katz a few times and Sarge's just once. Last night I ate Sarge's at around 2AM. The place was basically empty, with only one other patron, which I thought was great. We were seated and presented with water, coleslaw and sour/half sour pickles.
I ordered a bacon Burger which was really one of the best I have ever had in Manhattan. Very fresh meat and fresh cut fries.
Though the pastrami is what really matters. We also got a Robin, which is like a Reuben, but with Pastrami. I must say the pastrami was incredibly tender and flavorful, but was just lean enough. Was not to fatty as to make it disgusting, but had just enough fat to make it taste amazing. My last few trips to Katz, were disappointments, Not only are the prices insane, but the crowd's and fatty cuts of meat, make Kat'z less desirable.
The Robin at Sarge's was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had, let alone at 2AM on a Monday morning. The pastrami was also incredibly delicious and I must say perfect. The price and service were also respectable.
Sarge's is my new spot for late night eats in Manhattan.

Sarge's is my favorite deli (strongly prefer it to Katz's and Second Ave. Deli). I'm heading back to Sarge's for my pastrami "fix" on Saturday. It's one of the few restaurants that I miss from my old Murray Hill/Kips Bay neighborhood. I also love Sarge's chopped liver and noodle pudding. (Wow! I guess I've just planned my entire dinner!).
re: ellenost
Sarge's is great in a pinch and is well worth hitting if you're in the area..its a great old school deli without trying to be an old school deli...but while the Pastrami is good..its really not all that special..you get a good solid Pastrami sandwich there but nothing more..which isnt really a knock on the place..it is what it is..and Im glad for it...its too bad there arent more places left like Sarges
re: ChooseYrPoison
Imo, Sarge's pastrami is consistently superb -- not just "a good solid...sandwich..but nothing more," and not just "great in a pinch."

I do agree that having more places like Sarge's, especially ones that would be open 24/7 and deliver, would be wonderful.
re: Clarkafella
When I went away to college, I bought a ham and cheese hero and it had 1 piece of cheese and 2 pieces of ham for $8. I laughed.
re: Motosport
Had a Sarge's pastrami sandwich (for the 1st time) yesterday. Sorry Katz's...you've been bypassed. After a lifetime of going to Katz's, and considering their pastrami the gold standard, my biz is going elsewhere. The shrinking sandwich size, lately the chewy, under-seasoned pastrami, tourist/mob scene of Katz's are now in my rear-view. Folks--it's really simple: I ordered my sandwich (plus noodle kugel, chopped liver app, cheese cake--all also great) online...in an hour--at my door, pastrami still hot & moist, down the hatch. Life is good.
re: drumwine
I love Sarge's, but Katz is still miles ahead in pastrami.
I went back to Katz for the first time in awhile last weekend, and the pastrami was absolutely melting. Don't get me wrong though, $20 is a lot of money for a sandwich.
That said, I would kill for a Sarge's double decker sandwich with turkey, pastrami, swiss cheese and cole slaw (and the souper soup) at 3AM. Also, I was at Katz on a Saturday morning around noon, and the line was nonexistent, in and out within 15 minutes.
Both are waaay better than Mile End if you want to get into a chewy argument (although the smoked turkey is great). I did try David's Brisket House for the first time this week too-- best value anywhere ($5 sandwich that I could barely finish).
re: ChiefHDB
Try the Three Little Piggies pastrami sandwich, just remember to hold the coleslaw or get it on the side. Half the price of Katz's, and tell me if it isn't almost as good. I am constantly surprised by it.

Can't find it. Do you mean "This Little Piggy Had Roast Beef" on First Ave?

re: sugartoof
I have had one sandwich at Katz's that, though delicious, was really too fatty, but I did ask for "juicy." I'm surprised you got THAT fatty a sandwich without asking for one, and that is definitely legitimate to criticize, in my opinion.
I've had great pastrami at Katz's and I've had horrible pastrami at Katz's. With Sarge's it's consistently good, plus I'll add my vote for the 24/7 thing. My husband is a thoroughly unadventurous eater not to mention somewhat of a bull in a china shop when it comes to ordering and I had fears that the staff at Katz's might not have too much patience with him, so this morning (we're on va-cay in the city) I took him to Sarge's. He adored the blintzes, and any time I can get pastrami and Sarge's fantastic fries for breakfast is a good time!
re: comiendosiempre
Whatever else Sarge is, it doesn't seem to be underrated here at Chowhound.
re: Miss Needle
I love Sarge's (and they deliver to my office at lunch/dinner so I can eat it on my boss's dime)... but tongue and liver... yikes
re: msny98
Tongue and chopped liver....a classic and fabulous combination for a sandwich.
re: gutsofsteel
Yup. Quite delectable. The tongue/liver combo is not on the menu but did the custom-made sandwich option.
I think I've resolved to give this place another chance. I found their meats a little oversalted the one time I've gone so far, though everything tasted real and I loved the hamishness.
re: porkpa
I've had the "hand carved" pastrami, and IMHO, it's extremely overrated.
re: ellenost
While I do appreciate hand-carved pastrami, and it is a different experience, hand-carving inferior pastrami doesn't turn it into good pastrami.
(This does NOT mean I think Katz's is inferior....I do not)
I have to agree that Sarge's is superior to Katz's in many ways, particularily the FOOD! Of course, the Katz's experience is unique and a must for anyone visiting New York. I've been disappointed in the quality of Katz's recently and wouldn't go there unless it was for a hot dog, which are still pretty good. But their pastrami is just OK. I really love a good hot corned beef sandwich, and Sarge's is absolutely the BEST in town. Katz's hot corned beef is, again, just OK.
I like Sarge's just as much as Katz's. Their fatty pastrami and tongue are delicious, juicy and melt in your mouth. The meat over cabbage platters are great, I love the way they prepare the cabbage. I think the chopped liver is better at Katz's though. I love the fact they are open 24 hrs.
brings back my memories of stopping off in the middle of the night when I was dating my wife (35 years ago) for fuel since I lived in eastern Queens while my spouse lived fifteen minutes west of the LIncoln Tunnel. The sandwich were great. every once and while order lunch since the office is near bye. still very good jewish style deli.
re: martyl9
I love sarge's.
I consider he sarge's favorite (hot brisket served on a potato pancake with apple sauce and gravy) to be one of the great deli dishes ever invented (and a great hangover cure as well).
The sandwiches at sarge's are consistently good. Corned beef, pastrami, tongue, brisket-all good. The soups are good too. And they have everything-I now crave the kasha varnishkas-damn thee CH!
But there is something about the simplicity of the extra juicy pastrami on rye with mustard at Katz's that is a tad more satisfying. Not necessarily better, just different, and to me a bit more of a juicy savory bite that what sarge's serves. Yes Katz's is a pain to visit. Sarges's is not. Heck they deliver anyhere in Manhattan. I think that might skew some taste buds. And truly, send a pound of each to someone that cant get true NYC deli, and I think they would say they were both fantastic. Both are better than the reincarnated 2nd ave deli IMHO. Although the old place was as good as either. Oi vay.
Over breakfast this morning my lovely wife and I were discussing this very issue.
Our conclusion: For a genuine NYC "experience" you can't beat the unique "ambience" of Katz's!!
The other hotly debated competitors, Sarge's, 2nd Ave, Carnegie etc.. all have good food but lack the odd and entertaining aspect of Katz's.
Sarge's is only 1 block from my apartment and is 24/7 a big plus but when my out of town friends want to experience a "bit of NYC" I take them to Katz's. I've been going there for 55 years and I.M.H.O. it still remains the same.
re: Motosport
The best part of Katz's is the countermen, and the fact that they do NOT use electric slicers! This has a direct effect on the taste of the meat!! There is just something unique about the flavor and texture of hand-sliced pastrami. The other thing is, that I don't want my pastrami too lean. Some of the supermarket-types have absolutely NO fat on the meat, and thus no flavor. I vote for Katz's!
re: menton1
and the character actor that hands you the "coupon" as you walk in and says "don't lose this even if you don't buy nuttin' "
I'm actually wondering if Sarge's has sold once again? Maybe just an off night?
I had a pastrami sandwich that seemed microwaved, and less than fresh.
The single latke at $3.75 didn't even resemble the giant discs they used to make...this was more like a greasy hockey puck, with it's only flavor coming from chunks of carrot. It tasted as if it had been defrosted more then once, and I didn't risk more then one bite.
I've come back on this thread to report that during the time I was away from Chowhound, we had an extremely disappointing experience with Sarge's pastrami. We ordered delivery -- something we have done many times -- and as always, I specified "very fatty." What they sent was pastrami that was as far from "very fatty" as you could possibly get, i.e., dry and totally tasteless! And to add insult to injury, the cole slaw was horribly dry as well.
I was so turned off that even though my husband has suggested since then that we go to Sarge's (at least, we'd be able to send the pastrami back if it wasn't juicy), I haven't been able to bring myself to do so as I can't face the possibility of being disappointed again.

Packing Treasures for Transport
Preparing a large collection for shipping is a big job, to be sure. However, when that collection is an estimated $10-million worth of irreplaceable artifacts as much as 200 years old, that task takes on a whole new emphasis. Grand Teton National Park Superintendent Mary Gibson Scott says the David T. Vernon Indian Arts Collection from the Colter Bay Visitor Center is the focus of a very pains-taking effort as it are being prepared to travel to the National Park Service Western Archeological and Conservation Center in Tucson, Arizona for cleaning and restoration. Scott says curators from the Center are working with curators from both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks to be sure the items are packed correctly for transport. Furthermore, Scott says the Park has been involved in on-going consultations with the Native Americans represented in the collection regarding the move and treatment of what they consider sacred objects. She says the items will undergo several years of restoration once it arrives at the center. Altogether, the collection represents about 100 tribes with some 1400 items ranging from clothing and jewelry to musical instruments, tools and toys. The process of arresting the deterioration many of the artifacts have seen, and conducting some limited restoration is estimated to cost upwards to $1-million. Then, much of the collection will be stored at the conservation center until suitable arrangements for their storage and display can be made in Grand Teton National Park. In our next story in this series: a look at ideas being considered for the future display of the collection.

06.14.2013 - 23:17 | FATIMAGICI was first introduced to South Pacific when I saw the 2009 revival performance at the Tonys with Paulo Szot and Kelli O'Hara in the leading roles. In my opinion, they do a FAR better job, both vocally and acting-wise than the two leads in this film. The way I see it--and Kelli O'Hara played this beautifully--is that "A Cockeyed Optimist" is meant to express Nellie's belief that she *is* progressive for her time. She isn't outwardly condescending to any of the Polynesian characters in the show, let alone Emile's children, until she finds out that they're his. The fact is that while Nellie does harbor racism, she's from Little Rock, Arkansas, and she probably views the fact that she's not outwardly cruel to the Polynesians as a step in the right direction compared to the relatively more closed-minded people she grew up with.
Nellie harbors racism towards Emile's children not just because she was raised in a racist environment, but because she had formulated this idea in her mind of Emile being this sophisticated "cultured Frenchman", who in her mind, would have been above falling for and marrying a Polynesian woman. Her illusion of his "perfection" in being the rich white guy with no baggage, emotional or otherwise, is shattered.
Later on, she does realize that she loves Emile too much to let her racism stand between them. When he goes to fight with Joe Cable, she stays with the children and begins to form a bond with them. It's heavily implied that Emile, Nellie, and the children become cemented as a family after the events of the show. Nellie isn't perfect, and she does try, and in a way, succeeds in getting rid of a lot of her prejudices towards non-white people. As I said, this is played much better and more emotionally by Kelli O'Hara than Mitzi Gaynor, imo.
When I first saw this movie, I was EXTREMELY put off by the odd colors and vignettes, as well, so I don't think it was a nitpick, and I'm glad it wasn't just me who was annoyed by it lol. I'm not really a fan of "Bali Hai", and I almost fast-forwarded through that part of the movie--it just seemed to slow and boring to me, like a lot of the first act, as you mentioned. It's a very little amount of story stretched out for a good forty-five minutes to an hour. My favorite song is definitely "Some Enchanted Evening", and although "Happy Talk" is cringe-worthy, and somewhat ironically a racist product of it's time, it is so impossible to get out of your head.
I definitely recommend you listen to the 2009 cast version, Paw. I enjoyed this review, although I thought you could have gone a little more in-depth with it, seeing how there are so many songs in the film. Can't wait for the next episode.

Aaaaanyway... great review as always, Paw. :D I've always liked musicals, but there are a lot of them I know very little about, and of course, many I haven't even heard of. Your show has exposed me to a lot of new art, and I'm extremely grateful for it.
(Random question, since I've never commented on an episode of Music Movies before: am I the only one who puts the words "music movies" to the four notes at the end of the, er, theme song? Mu-sic mo-vies! I have no idea if that was the intention or not but that's where my brain goes.)

06.15.2013 - 05:23 | UsagiqueenIt's funny. Just watched "American Beauty" the other day, and they use excerpts for South Pacific (Happy Talk or Bali Hai, forgot which) as background music in one scene.
I disagree about the original version with Mary Martin being the one to get. If you want one album, I highly recommend the 2001 London version.

06.15.2013 - 12:33 | branded92xMy understanding of the color filter issue was that this film was made near the birth of that particular piece of film-making technology. Then, the director absolutely hated it in reviewing the footage, but by this point, it had already been filmed that way, and redoing all of those scenes would be way too much of a financial investment. That's what I've been told, anyway.

06.15.2013 - 13:23 | LapinporokoiraI've never seen South Pacific and after watching your review I probably won't. The colour filtering irritated me in the small clips. My brain would probably fry. (I already got a headache from the clips)
However I did recognise quite a few of the songs in it. Never new Happy talk was from South Pacific.
I notice your dartboard is starting to look a little empty again. Would really love to see you take on Bugsy Malone, Bye Bye Birdie and Victor/Victoria. You haven't done Hello Dolly yet either have you?
Btw my favourite song in The Jungle Book is probably That's What Friends Are For.
06.15.2013 - 13:44 | yaoinutCan't say I'm fond of these recent reviews. You seem to skip a lot of content, and even quite a few songs, giving barest glances to them.
I understand wanting to stand out and not mimic your peers, but I urge you to reconsider.
Your review of Reefer Madness if what made me buy the movie. Snippits of each song that made me want to see the whole thing, I recap of the story, and opinions on the songs and interesting information.
This, just seems so watered down. I know there wasn't much to talk about plot wise, but it still felt very rushed.
I do love your work though. I guess we will have to see what you do with Jungle Book.
06.15.2013 - 15:19 | WesleyFoxxI thought I was the only one who felt that way, or at least said enough to point it out in the comments.
I wouldn't mind him going the more Nostalgia Chick-esque route with it, but they're just not as entertaining as the serial reviews. Reefer Madness, Really Rosie, Fiddler on the Roof and so on, versus the various Rock of Ages related reviews, the Beatles movies, basically any of the reviews he's been doing the last six months.

06.15.2013 - 16:02 | Zodia195Paw, you're starting to lose me here. Not only do you skip around the movie, but you're starting to ignore a few songs now. I miss how you use to do your reviews by going through the song lists in chronological order. You forgot Bloody Mary, Twin Soliloquies, Dities Moi, I'm in Love with a Wonderful Guy, My Girl Back Home, This Was Nearly Mine, and one of my favorites, Younger than Spring Time.
I am sorry, but if you're going to keep on doing this, I don't know if I want to keep watching your show.
I do agree with you though.
06.15.2013 - 17:38 | Lady Time LordI'm not sure if it's up there or not, but if it isn't, can you put the 2012 version of Les Mis up on the dartboard?
06.15.2013 - 19:40 | Emilie BennettWhy the heck would a Fallout game use music from the late 1940s?
06.15.2013 - 21:40 | LikaLarukuMy favorite Rogers & Hammerstein musical is Cinderella. There's been 3 movie adaptations; I grew up with the middle one & I still don't know any of the people in it.
::Looks at long list of movie musicals:: Man, you're never going to run out of musicals to review. You haven't done any of my favorites & not a single one had Doris Day in it, & those used to be the only ones I even knew about.
06.15.2013 - 21:54 | DacilrielYou skipped a bunch of songs.
I've never seen the original movie. The first version I saw was the 2001 version with Glenn Close and Harry Connick Jr. and I've seen a couple stage productions. Based on this review the original movie looks like it would hurt my eyes.
06.16.2013 - 20:46 | ygoraphobic - among the fanboys squeelingSo yeah, I've been watching your Music Movies for about a year or so now, even going back through some of the archive. I really like how you've evolved as a reviewer. Your reviews are becoming insightful, thoughtful, humorous, witty, and never too overly pedantic (except for the Pedantic Semantic of course...in the shower oh my!)
I wouldn't be too concerned with some of the comments about how you "aren't going song by song in order anymore" and such (paraphrased). I think anyone who is familiar with some of these musical movies should understand that sometimes there isn't enough time to cover every single song the way they deserve, and other times there is so much time that would be wasted being repetitious about the same criticisms of the bad ones. I mean, one can only say so many times, for instance, how much Hoff sings like Hoff and how impossible it is to pull off the dual role of Jekyll and Hyde. We don't need insight into each and every song of South Pacific, many of them are just bubbly songs that are exactly like the ones already mentioned.
Regardless, another sexy review by sexy Paw with his sexy brain. LOL
06.18.2013 - 04:04 | oheI can't stand this movie. By now there has been so many Disney films that make South Pacific look like the lowest common denominator they all take from. Such is the fate of being an early work in a genre that has been worked to pretty much perfection by absolute, hard professionals. It also doesn't help that that Mitzi Gaynor is so similar to Doris Day that you can't help thinking that Day would look the part more with her less-serious-looking facial features. I mean she doesn't look miscast, but brings to mind a person who would be even better a fit. Mary Martin I'm not too familiar with but I suppose the same applies.
06.18.2013 - 04:13 | True Perception"Suspended" Disbelief! Musical Double Entendre! I love it!
06.25.2013 - 01:15 | KumiI was so disappointed when I didn't recognize a single one of these songs.
Also, I've noticed that lately Paw really seems to be glossing over or just completely neglecting to explain the synopses of the films he's reviewing. I haven't seen a lot of these movies, and (especially in the last couple of months) he seems to be jumping straight to sections he wants to talk about without much preamble about the movie in general or what context each song has in the film.
It's a lot harder to get an impression of these movies overall, which is a shame, because coming away with the feel of a film that I've never seen before is one of my favorite things about watching reviews.
I think the videos are really suffering from being too condensed.
Of course good review nonetheless! It's just that these problems have really been hindering my enjoyment levels as of late. Past reviews like Hedwig & the Angry Inch, for example, left me feeling like I'd actually seen the movie. I'm not getting that so much now.

I'm a big fan of RSS. Too big of a fan, perhaps. So much so, that I've had to implement my own RSS feed strategy. I define it as one that's really simply structured. For those that don't know, RSS is generally understood as an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. Basically, when you subscribe to a webiste's RSS feed (or its comments feed), you will automatically be updated every time something happens on that feed. Think of it as getting your favourite magazines or newspaper delivered to your door every day. Or more. That's the beauty of RSS; you don't have to spend time looking for the stuff that you want through all of the other stuff that's out there.1
Once a person gets familiar with how RSS works and starts to grab feeds for their feed reader, then that's when the real fun begins. In addition to the flood of information.
Adding feeds can be addictive, and not reading them becomes the norm more than reading them does if you don't keep an eye of things. There's a ton great content out there to read and if you don't either curate or organize what's coming into your reader, you'll wind up with more information than you can possible digest...and that's not the point of reading RSS in a feed reader. I'll be the first to admit that I skim a lot of what hits my reading applications, be it on the iPad or on my Mac. I'll also admit (although I wouldn't be the first), that I use Reeder as my primary reader. I use it on all of my machines. It's clean, integrates with a ton of sharing options and allows me to send stuff to the equally awesome Instapaper. I've tried a lot of the other options, but always go back to Reeder. What have I tried? Well...
GoodReader I still use this app, but for completely other reasons.2
Flipboard I also use this app for a different, more magazine-like reading experience. I keep the feeds offered in Flipboard away from Reeder and muck around in the app maybe once or twice a day, tops. It's a beautiful app -- but it doesn't beat Reeder in terms of overall utility.
Pulse Checked it out, didn't appeal to me. It's not a bad app, but I'm of the mindset that if you've got something that really works for you...stick with it. Pulse loses out because of its eventual arrival to the landscape.
NetNewsWire I want to like using it, but just can't. Again, maybe if I started using a native RSS reader back in my early Mac days, I'd be loyal to it. But I didn't, so I'm not.
Google Reader I steer clear of actually reading my feeds on Google Reader, but I subscribe to them and organize them in it. I used to hang out in Google Reader, but I decided that it handles the aspects I use it for very well, but takes me away from my work online when I hang out in it to simply read what's come down the pipe.
Mail.app Saw it, killed it. Mail is for email only. Simple as that.3
Safari Never even gave it a second look. Plus, I'm using Chrome.4
So, with Google Reader organizing my feeds and Reeder being used to read them, I'm all set to check them out on a daily basis. Here's how I organize them:
I've organized each and every Google Alert into one folder, called "ALERTS! ALERTS!" -- which could be considered a bit of an ego trip, but I assure you it isn't.5 Basically, any mention of any site that I operate or mention of my name shows up here, if Google catches it. (This is my quickest read each and every day.)
Freelancery | Writery
This folder contains all of the sites that I follow pertaining to freelance work and the craft of writing (other than those that fall in the Read & Trust network stream...more on that shortly). Some of these are resources, and some are simply there because they are acquaintances of mine and they talk about the craft of writing regularly. 1889ca would fall into that category.
Inspiry | Lifehackery
All productivity-type feeds land here. Keeping feeds from that niche separate is key to my research for areas I'd like to exploit (re: satirize or parodize) at Eventualism at some point. How I sort that research and put it together into an article for your reading pleasure is a whole other article that I'll get to...eventually.
Readworthy | Trustworthy
The feeds that rest in this folder are the opens that take the most time to go through, because each of the content creators are writers I aspire to have my name spoken in the same breath with and their insights into different areas of interest are important for me to discover.6 Many of these posts get "Instapapered" for later reading. How I organize Instapaper is...well, you know.
Techistry | Pop Cultury
This feed is another that takes some time to read. I take a lot of my tech and pop culture news from this folder and apply it to Dyscultured or even to some of the stuff I write here. As with the "lifehackery" folder, I will skip some of these articles if they don't really resonate with or apply to me.
X-Factor | Miscellany
If you guessed that this folder is where I put stuff that doesn't fit into any of the above folders, you'd be right. That said, I do not put any feeds in here unless I know they will never fit into another folder over the long term.
As for new feeds, they go where I see fit as I subscribe. But I'm pretty careful abut what I subscribe to these days. Again, I use Flipboard for sites like The Onion, Uncrate and Boing Boing because the feeds for those sites are integrated into the app's infrastructure. If other feeds that currently sit in my feed reader start to get the same treatment from Flipboard, I'll kill them in Reader and launch them in Flipboard without hesitation. Doing that will actually speed up my reading time; and lighten up the load that Reeder sees on a daily basis.
RSS reading is my equivalent of reading the morning and evening paper. I jump into Reeder first thing in the morning and then dive into both Reeder and Flipboard at day's end. Having a really simply structured strategy for RSS feeds keeps me in the know and increases my productivity when it matters: during the peak hours of my day.
If you don't have a strategy to keep up with your RSS feed reading, find one that works for you sooner rather than later. And the more it is really simply structured, the better your overall reading experience will be.
1 Patrick Rhone discussed his RSS habits and his love for Reeder in a recent episode of "Enough" -- a regular part of my podcasting diet. 2 Merlin Mann discussed what he uses GoodReader for on the epically-long episode of "Mac Power Users" that he recently appeared on. MPU is also a regular part of my podcasting diet. 3 I'm a Gmail guy...for now. Sparrow is starting to look really appealing. (Corollary: Bought it, giving it a whirl. Mikey likes it so far...UPDATED: And now it's my primary email application. So there.) 4 Speaking of appealing, I'm going to give Safari another look. Just as a browser, though. Because that's what it should do best...browse. Does it do it better than Chrome? We'll see. UPDATED: Yep, especially in Lion. 5 Yeah, it is. 6 If you're not subscribing to the Read & Trust newsletter, you should get on that. Some great writing awaits.

American Beauty: The Opulent Pre-Depression Architecture of Detroit
This exhibition presents the large format photographic work of Canadian photographer Philip Jarmain. Since 2010, Jarmain has been documenting the increasingly rapid destruction of Detroit's early twentieth-century buildings. His emphasis in this work is on the architecture itself of these vanishing edifices: the form and the detail. In Jarmain's own words: "These are the last large format architectural photographs for many of these structures." Twenty fine art prints, 4 x 6 and 5 x 7 feet in size, depicting the interiors and exteriors of monumental public buildings, are installed on the three floors of Meridian Gallery. These images comprise the core of the exhibition. This is work of great visual impact, the scale and definition of the images translate into a space that the viewer enters, a physical presence that one feels, and history that one contemplates.

Last chance for Friendship in Fireworks in Salem!
Last chance for Friendship in Fireworks in Salem!
As some may know I'm now a National Park Ranger in Salem and I get to give tours aboard the Friendship (tough job but someone has to do it!)
Well, if you were going to hold off till next year to get down to Salem to photograph the fireworks with the ship in the frame, DON'T WAIT! The masts are going to be coming down this fall, (All of them) and they will be working on the keel for the next year or two depending how much rot they find. So If you like my shot down below with the explosions going off behind the masts, like a battle is going on?? Then get down there and see it this year!
Leave me a comment if you have any questions on where to sit… I did get out there at 2 in the afternoon so bring a cooler but be prepared to be looked over very carefully. The police and park rangers will be looking at packages, backpacks and coolers (Thank you idiot terrorists for making our lives a little more secure)
I have the day off so I will be out on Winter Island looking over the fireworks from that angle. please enjoy your 4th of July, be safe! But if you can't make it down this year, I will be sure to post when the ship is… Shipshape again hopefully 2016!
Focal Length or how much lens to use
I like a 24-105mm for this purpose. A wide angle is nice but I usually have to be too close. A big telephoto has its own issues unless you are a half mile away. I prefer a mid-range telephoto that allows some wide and zoom capability. I believe in flexibility.
I plan on setting my aperture/f-stop for f4 but I will usually go higher, earlier in the evening. You generally don't need too much depth of field. As it gets darker you can trade off the fstop as needed. [note] I also lock my focus on the first shot and then turn off autofocus. Most cameras won't focus if it doesn't have something bright to focus on.
My secret technique is to open the shutter before anything is happening (black sky) and then I hold the shutter open for the count of one thousand one, one thousand two. You get the idea, and then at some point, I release it and stand ready for the next shot.
This depends on your camera. My normal setting is an ISO of 200-400 but my newer camera can go as high as 1600 if I wanted to. By going higher, though, you take the chance of inducing noise into the shot (colored dots of light). If your camera is prone to noise then set it for a low ISO and make your exposures longer.
Shutter Speed, cable release, and a tripod
Fireworks look better when you have the Rockets trail rising from the ground and the explosion with the points of light expanding outward. To accomplish this, the shutter speed will need to be measured in seconds. Most times my shots range from 2 seconds out to 12 seconds.
To me shutter speed is the key to successful fireworks photos.
There are two trains of thought on this. If you want some crazy patterns to the lights then by all means hand hold it. What-the-hey, move the camera while the shutter is open and paint with light. But for images that people really enjoy (or buy) then I will put the camera on a sturdy tripod and use a shutter release. The type of release doesn't matter as long as you can use it to keep the shutter open manually
My cable release allows me to open my shutter, hold it open, and then close it, based on what I'm seeing.
Putting it all together
Each year I pick a different location to see what the fireworks look like from a different aspect. To me the best images (not always mine) are the ones that have a strong visual element in addition to the firework explosion.
In this image I was in Salem and I positioned myself so that the Friendship of Salem was between me and the fireworks. The result was the ship looked like it was in a massive battle with the bombs bursting in the air above the ship.
People in your shots or not?
This next image is over in Marblehead on Fort Beach. Low tide hit an hour before the fireworks were to start. So I found a large rock to get an unobstructed view and away from the crowds. As luck would have it the tide kept going out and revealed more rocks and the crowds went out in front of me to sit and watch the fireworks.
So, for the first time ever, I had people in my 4th of July photos and I think these are some of my best.
The Grand Finale
One of the problems we all have is the finale. They starting throwing everything and the kitchen sink into the air and you have way too much light. In an effort to tame the light you have to shorten the exposure, but then you lose the light trails due to a half second exposure.
My friend Eyal Oren used the photo tree in the image to block much of the intense light, resulting in this very pleasing image. See more of his work at Wednesday in Marblehead.
I suggest you go read the manual (RTFM), Yes, Read The Freakin Manual and see what it says..
Don't wait until one hour before the start of the fireworks. Pull the manual out now and read what it says for low light situations and then go out and practice with it.
I hope this article helps you take some real winners and, if you are so inclined, please share them on our NEPGuild Facebook page.

Loons: Symbol of the Northern Wilderness
Against All Odds, Loons survive
So far this summer, the wind, rain, and thunder storms have been difficult not only for our spirits in the North East, but for the hatching of our nesting loons. Despite the threat of rising water levels, many of the loons have successfully hatched. The pair I have been observing, hatched in the nick of time — temperature in the mid fifties, forceful winds, and a surge of constant battering waves could have wiped them out completely at any time. Their nest site was only two inches from the water at the peak of the floods. One day as I checked on them, an adult loon and then a second adult came around the island. As they swam closer, I could see two little chicks bobbing between them. The family swam on, staying close to each other, relocating to a nearby cove where they would raise their chicks. They made it against the odds.
Why do loons nest on the edge of lakes?
Loons have large bodies, making it cumbersome to walk on land. They build their nests on the edge of lakes for safety — should a predator appear they can quickly slip out of the nest into the water.
Downy Black Fluffy Balls
According to the Maine Audubon Society, "Newly hatched loon chicks are downy black fluffy balls that weigh roughly a quarter of a pound, the same as a stick of butter. They can swim right away, and will try to dive, though they have trouble staying under water for very long. They may feed themselves insects from the surface of the water but rely on their parents for food. By two weeks of age they gain about seven times their body weight. That's like a baby growing to the size of a third grader in just fourteen days! "
Why do loon chicks ride on their parents' backs?
It's chilly in early summer — water temperatures are not quite like July. Loon chicks cannot maintain their own body temperatures just yet, similar to human newborn humans.
They are not able to swim as fast as their parents — they need to stay close for survival. Parents will invite them under their wing when they need to move quickly away from danger.
Snapping turtles and big fish are threats to little chicks.
Bald Eagles can spot a meal a mile away, which is another reason for riding on the back. Loons are fierce fighters when they have to protect their young.
Sibling Rivalry
One day on the lake I was stunned to see chick #1 attack his sibling with a vengeance — pecking the top of his head with a gleam in his eye. When his parents surfaced he quickly changed his demeanor like he was an angel waiting for them. Chick #2 was a little dazed, but recovered quickly. I have not seen this before and since found out it's fairly common. Just like in human families, loon brothers and sisters don't always get along. The chick that hatches first generally is the bigger chick and what starts out as a tiny difference can quickly turn into a big advantage because the bigger (often the more aggressive one) can beg for more food from its parents. If the parents don't catch enough food for both chicks, chances are the bigger chick will be the only one to survive.
Survival Rate
It is a tough go for loons. Even if they stick close to their parents, the chance of chicks surviving through their first few weeks is quite low. Statistics say only 25% make it through the summer.
Symbol of the Northern Wilderness
I feel fortunate to be able to sit quietly in my kayak with my telephoto lens, at a distance from the loons (on a lake where many people kayak, so the loons are used to it) and watch them for hours. It is hard to describe the feeling like you are immersed in the loon's world — truly a privilege. It has been said that no animal better symbolizes northern wilderness than the common loon, except perhaps moose!

Waterfall Treasures of New Hampshire's Hillsborough County
Four Falls
Like most of us I love photographing waterfalls. The courses of water make wonderful compositional elements and the ability to transform the tumbling chaotic water into velvety ribbons is a magical product of long exposures. There are a number of lovely falls in my corner of New Hampshire. The Monadnock region holds the Beaver Brook Falls in Keene, Chesterfield Gorge along Route 9, Forty Foot Falls in Surry and the little known Hubbard Falls hidden in an isolated corner of Chesterfield. I frequently explore these locations, but one of my favorite areas for flowing water photography is off to the east in Hillsborough County, around the towns Wilton, Milford, Mt. Vernon and Lyndeborough.
Hillsborough County occupies the south central portion of New Hampshire along the Massachusetts border. The county includes New Hampshire's two largest cities, Nashua and Manchester, but much of the county to the west is quite rural and possesses some of the prettiest waterfalls in the southern tier of the state. Over the years, I've been enticed by the beautiful photographs that I have seen of the waterfalls in this area, especially those taken by fellow members of the New England Photography Guild. Recently I have made the effort to find the best of these sites. My mother lives in Nashua, New Hampshire, and I often use the excuse of a visit to wander off my travels on Route 101 in search of flowing water. I have several favorites.
I am sure I don't have the depth of experience that locals have photographing these sites, but I thought my fresh enthusiasm might entice others to give these spots a try. All are easily accessible. In this article, I will include simple addresses and GPS coordinates, but detailed directions are available all over the web. Some falls are on private property and, as is always true, care must be taken to avoid disruptions and damage that might lead to restrictions on future access.
My four favorite falls in the area are Purgatory Falls, Tucker Brook Falls, Senter Falls and Garwin Falls. I can give only brief descriptions of each location, but hopefully it will be sufficient to excite your interest. They are all worth repeated trips. For more pictures of the falls, check out my regular Blog.
Waterfall photography is exciting and challenging. There is always the temptation to look for unusual, and sometimes precarious, angles, but the footing is often very slippery and care should be taken to avoid personal injury and more importantly to avoid catastrophic damage to your equipment. Waterfall photography requires special care, equipment and techniques. Kari Post's "The Essential Guide to Photographing Waterfalls" is an excellent eBook which discusses all of these issues, and is illustrated with her spectacular photography.
1) Purgatory Falls (Milford & Mt. Vernon)
Purgatory Falls is actually a series of waterfalls along Purgatory Brook as it travels 3 miles through the Purgatory Brook Conservation Area between the Upper Falls along the Mt. Vernon/Lyndeborough border, to the Lower Falls in Milford. The lower falls are the easiest to access with a short (one mile) trail starting at a parking lot on Purgatory Road. (N 42.85877, W 71.69449). The falls empty into a secluded grotto pool, which can cause difficult, contrasty light on sunny days, but there are plenty of interesting angles around the pool, downstream and from above. Be careful of the footing as you explore above the falls.
The short trail to the Upper Falls comes off the end Purgatory Falls Road (sometimes called just Purgatory Rd) in Mt Vernon (N42.8897, W71.7108). The trail follows Purgatory Brook until it shoots off a cliff dropping 25 feet into gorge with a rock strewn pool below. A short scramble down to the pool will provide some of the best views of the falls. The trail from here follows the brook all the way to the Lower Falls and there is a Middle Falls along the way which I look forward to exploring in the future.
2) Tucker Brook Falls (Milford)
Tucker Brook Falls is a lovely gentle cascade located in the Tucker Brook Town Forest in Milford. The forest has a number of entrances, but the falls are best accessed from Savage Road. The parking area is next to power lines which cross the road (N42.829116, W71.708791). The trail initially parallels the road to a junction and Kiosk which has a helpful map of the area. Follow the Falls Loop Trail along Tucker Brook to the falls. Depending on the flow, views from both sides of the brook can be accessed by crossing below the falls or, during high water, across a bridge which is up-stream.
3) Senter Falls (Lyndeborough)
Senter Falls is actually a dramatic series of cascades and falls formed as Cold Brook descends through a steep gorge in Alan & The Edgar Rice Natural Area in Lyndeborough. The Trail head and a small parking area are on Lyndeborough Rd (N42.934293, W71.740685). The trail initially crosses over a small stream and then continues, over relatively flat ground, to Cold Brook. Two Brooks trail then turns left and ascends alongside the falls, providing many dramatic photographic opportunities. Again the path is steep and the rocks surrounding the falls are invariably wet and slippery. Take special care. Senter Falls is a somewhat further off the main roads, but it is well worth the effort.
4) Garwin Falls (Wilton)
Garwin Falls is found below the outlet of the Old Wilton Reservoir and can be the most impressive of the falls in the region. With good flow the water drops 40 feet in a number of beautiful curtains. Another cascade to the left of the main falls can be equally dramatic. Garwin Falls is reached from a short trail which begins just south of where Isaac Frye Highway crosses the brook that feeds the reservoir (N42.8467283, W 71.771447). A short way down the trail, a spur heads off to the left reaching a quiet glade along the brook above the reservoir. The falls can be photographed from a number of levels along its drop and downstream, although waders may be helpful to get out into the stream to get an unobstructed view of the main falls.
Waterfall photography is always dependant on flow of water, the quality of light, and change of seasons, but these 4 falls provide everything you could want in New England flowing water. I plan to continue to explore this region since I am sure I have missed some favorite local sites. I would love to hear about other great areas for flowing water in Hillsborough County.
For more images of these falls check out my companion article in my personal photography blog.

Sugar Hill Lupine Festival: Landscape Photographers Dream!
Late May and Early June are busy times for the members of the New England Photography Guild. The young leaves now on the trees have a gorgeous emerald hue, and look great framing waterfalls and fast flowing mountain streams. Migratory birds are passing through in their bright breeding colors, and many adorable young animals are out and about under the watchful eye of proud parents. Spring flowers are everywhere too…from the forest floor to the open fields, and especially in the great gardens that are meticulously maintained by New Englanders looking to shake off the long winter.
There are three annual and widespread wildflower blooms that capture most of my attention this time of year. In the forests in southern and central New England, the Mountain Laurel fills the forest will one last hint of pink and white before the sunlight is completely shaded by the canopy above. On the highest mountain tops, hardy and rare species of arctic plants put on a brief show of spectacular color in the seemingly barren alpine zone. And perhaps the most celebrated, the lupines and daisies fill the fields and roadsides all over Northern New England.
The premier locations to take in the lupine blooms for the next few weeks are the towns of Sugar Hill and Franconia in Northern New Hampshire. The towns have a three week long lupine festival celebrating the blooms, and more than enough flowers and blooms to warrant the celebration. The towns are picturesque, with a pastoral valley feel surrounded by beautiful high mountains. There are stone walls, white churches, old barns and dirt roads to aid in your composition, and an open air market, great little shops and inns, and even wagon rides through the fields to pass the time when not out shooting.
My itinerary in for a weekend in Sugar Hill is one of simplicity. I usually camp nearby, wake up before the sun, and head right to the Sampler fields on Sunset Hill Road. I've shot these fields at dawn every year for many years, but keep coming back as it's just an incredible location at first light. The hill rises above the morning mist that settles in the low valleys. The sun backlights the early lupines which are usually covered in a thick dew, and frontlights the surrounding mountains.
There are paths cut through the fields, and for photographers, it's important to respect the integrity of the fields and flowers and keep to the paths. Lupine plants take two years to bloom, and straying off path for YOUR unique composition can damage a few cycles of lupine blooms.
From there, the options abound. There is a published guidebook that you can pickup at many local retail establishments for a few dollars, and they highlight all the local fields. Perhaps you'd like to go down to Pearl Lake to see the loons and the mist among the lupines? Up to St. Matthews Church or the hayrake in the adjacent fields? Drive some dirt roads in hopes for bear or moose sightings in the field? Or just stay put with the macro lens and shoot some close-ups? It seems like there are endless opportunities to shoot around town, and you can easily add your own style and vision to the scenes in front of you!
I'm usually kept busy shooting until 8AM when the light starts to get a bit harsh. And from there, it's off to Polly's Pancake Parlor just down the road for a classic New England Breakfast with real local maple syrup. As a bonus, there is a great lupine field across from Polly's!
Thereafter, I tend to use the rest of the midday to take in the lupine festival events, or do some hiking, fishing, or touring nearby. By mid-afternoon, the light begins to get softer, and I look for a location to set up for sunset. My favorite sunset spot is the open field behind St. Matthews church. There isn't an established path through the field, but photographers usually make a narrow herd path. Again, it's important to stick to the herd path so as not to damage future blooms in this beautiful location.
Afternoon weather can change rapidly in this area, and as a special note, afternoon showers are quite common. This often provides opportunities for shooting rainbows over the fields, so if a little rain moves in, keep your eyes peeled. These clouds often abate by evening again, allowing for great alpenglow on the Franconia Ridge across the valley if you put your back to the sunset!
There are great resources for planning a trip to Sugar Hill for the lupine festival online. The Franconia Notch Chamber of Commerce offers a schedule of events, as well as lodging recommendations. Harman's Cheese, a great local shop, posts and archives daily lupine pictures to help you time your visit. They also maintain a Facebook page where you can share your pictures and reports.
The festival starts next weekend, I hope to see you there!

Monarchs on the Move
As late summer rolls along, many signs of the changing seasons are evident: early foliage trees have started to change color, late season flowers such as asters and goldenrod are in bloom, and winter migrations are well under way.
The annual migration of monarch butterflies is one of nature's most remarkable spectacles. It's hard to imagine that an insect weighing a matter of grams could successfully undertake a journey of several thousand miles, but each year, millions of these colorful butterflies across North America to wintering grounds in the mountains of Mexico and the California coast.
Monarchs, which are members of the overall 'brushfoot' family of butterflies, are distinguished from the similarly colored and patterned viceroys by their slightly larger size, and lack of a black line on their hindwings – the viceroy has a distinctive stripe that is evident from above when its wings are spread. Monarchs are most visible in New England from mid to late summer, though early individuals arrive in the area by late May or early June. Their habitat includes meadows and other areas with 'edge' habitat such as wetlands, gardens, and power line clearings, especially where milkweed, their host plant, are present. They feed on a variety of wild and garden flowers, including asters and goldenrod.
While the typical lifespan for an adult monarch is three to five weeks, each season produces one hardy generation that lives for seven to eight months (the equivalent of a human surviving 500 years) and undertakes the long journey. Though it varies by latitude and climate, the movement generally reaches its peak from late August to late September, and continues until the first frosts.
During this time, some of the best places to see concentrations of monarchs are coastal areas, ridges (such as hawk watch sites), and river valleys. A significant conservation concern is the destruction of forests on their wintering grounds.
The southbound individuals don't survive long enough to make the return trip, and those that journey back to the Northeast have normal life spans and make the passage over one or two generations, and the cycle begins again.

Abraham Ervin Jr. sees nothing special in what he does.
By day, he digs up lawns and installs sprinkler systems. Every night, he goes to see the kids at Fort Lauderdale`s Sunland Park.
Abraham Ervin Jr. sees nothing special in what he does.
By day, he digs up lawns and installs sprinkler systems. Every night, he goes to see the kids at Fort Lauderdale`s Sunland Park.
There, ``Honey Bun`` Ervin coaches four baseball teams, two football teams and two basketball teams. He figures he has worked with 300 to 600 kids a year for the past 11 years.
``It`s just a part of me,`` Ervin said. ``You never know; some kid someday may say you`re the one who made the difference for them.``
A new civic group thinks Ervin is a hero -- and says it`s about time someone noticed him and all the other black men who toil for their community without fanfare.
On Father`s Day, Ervin and five others will be honored as ``unsung heroes`` by the newly formed Broward County chapter of 100 Black Men, a national group.
``There`s a great need for black males to be seen positively,`` said Vernon Dooling, an Urban League worker who is organizing the group.
``Most black men are not killing people, they`re not dying, they`re not taking drugs,`` Dooling said. ``They have jobs. They`re making it. They`re helping their community.``
The other heroes are: Johnny Alexander, a youth sports coach; Herbert Burroughs, a Little League organizer; Samuel Dukes, a pioneer of youth sports at Sunland; Dillard High School football coach Otis Gray; and Hallandale High School basketball coach Greg Samuels.
The awards will be given at 3 p.m. on June 17 at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, 901 NW 11 Ave. in Fort Lauderdale.
``These are everyday, ordinary guys,`` Dooling said. ``These brothers have the ability to get kids to do things, because kids can see these guys are genuine. Just having their presence in front of kids makes a big impact.``
Ervin recalls that one of his ballplayers quit school in ninth grade. He told the youngster how little the world offers a dropout. After a few months of Ervin`s harping, the young man returned to school, received a degree and now works in a supermarket.
Who taught Ervin how to act? Hero Sam Dukes.
Now a Deerfield Beach minister, Dukes, 50, organized Sunland`s first sports teams in the early 1960s. He took kids to movies and threw parties. He touched the lives of thousands of kids who grew up near Sistrunk Boulevard.
``Mr. Dukes was so strict. He was great. He helped a lot of us grow up straight,`` said Guy Wheeler, a former player for Dukes who now is assistant director at the Broward Addiction Recovery Center. ``He made you feel proud to be black.``
Dukes` ballplayers didn`t dare wear dirty clothes to a game. They didn`t dare show up less than 15 minutes before game time. If they did, they didn`t play.
``They didn`t like what I made them do,`` Dukes said. ``My objective wasn`t who won or lost, but that they acted like little gentlemen. They learned to be clean. They learned to be on time.``
The new 100 Black Men group will strive to copy its heroes. Dooling said the 15 members will be working with kids individually as role models and sponsoring cultural events.
Unknown to the men, a Broward chapter of 100 Black Women is forming and also plans to work with kids, organizer Laura Martin-Hall said.
Six Broward County men to be honored by 100 Black Men:
-- NAME: Johnny ``Slim`` Alexander
-- HOME: Fort Lauderdale
-- CONTRIBUTION: Organized the Fort Lauderdale Track Club and the Western Football League and has run both for 15 years.
-- NAME: Herbert Burroughs
-- HOME: Fort Lauderdale
-- CONTRIBUTION: Organized Sunland Little League in 1988 and has been its president. Has worked for 25 years in state-sponsored programs for youth, including those in trouble with the law.
-- NAME: Samuel Dukes
-- HOME: Deerfield Beach
-- CONTRIBUTION: Sunland Park`s athletic director from 1962-73; started the first organized sports programs in the area and bought a bus to lead field trips. Also ran a YMCA before becoming a minister.
-- NAME: Abraham ``Honey Bun`` Ervin Jr.
-- HOME: Fort Lauderdale
-- CONTRIBUTION: With friends, raised the money to start a flag-football league at Sunland Park, and has coached numerous sports teams there.
-- NAME: Otis Gray
-- HOME: Fort Lauderdale
-- CONTRIBUTION: Head coach of the state-champion Dillard High School football team for more than a decade; also helped found and coach teams in the Sunland Little League.
-- NAME: Greg Samuels
