Conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica
I've been lucky to travel quite a bit for work this year, but was pleasantly surprised when one of the assignments came in as a 3 day conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica at an all inclusive resort. I'm always happy to travel, especially to exotic locations in the Caribbean.

NYBG Chihuly and Jazz
Drawing from Catskill Jazz Factory’s smashing sold-out The French Connection series, this world premiere takes audiences on a journey from the vibrant energy of European swing through the wonders of French mélodie and chanson. Traveling across four decades of Franco-American music, swing to the hot jazz rhythms of Django Reinhardt to the playful melodies of French chanson. Horne’s ensemble pulls influences from traditional folk to Debussy, Ellington, and Porter, to the enchanting French Songbook, from Edith Piaf to Jacques Brel to Serge Gainsbourg.

It's always an honor to work for the museum and the annual dinner is definitely a highlight. Before the evening began, they had this amazing drone flying over the room to document the space. It felt like the future of photography was upon us as this digital camera was flown around the room. Jon Bon Jovi's performance was incredible as he opened and closed the evening.
