Ben’s Chili Bowl / Codmother
I’m in DC for the weekend before heading out to Tilghman for a few days. Last night Peter and I went over to U Street for some eats. I couldn’t be this close to Ben’s without stopping in for a Half Smoke. It was amazing.
Afterwards, he wanted to take me to Codmother for fish and chips. What a place. Great fish though.
As I was driving down of Friday and listening to BBC Radio 4, I heard this commentary by A.L. Kennedy and found it interesting. You can either read it here, or better yet listen to the podcast here. I found it very touching.
Neil Gaiman / Poets & Writers
I mentioned a few months ago that I photographed Neil Gaiman for Poets & Writers Magazine. The issue is on the newsstands now.
It was a great shoot and he is an amazing guy. I don’t think I have ever photographed anyone who is so comfortable with a camera pointed at him. He really made my job easy.
Yesterday, BBC Radio 4 started his latest, “The Ocean at the End of the Lane” for “Book at Bedtime” and I listened to the first installment on my way back from shooting suitcases in Rotterdam. I am pretty sure it is available to hear online and with Michael Sheen reading it is really gripping.
Thanks to Murray at P&W for the assignment. Great fun.
