Alessandro Tatini di K-Array Comes to NY
Alessandro and Michel from K-Array paid a visit to L&M and Little Shop yesterday. They flew in two nights ago from Firenze, Italy to say hello and check out our facilities while discussing future ideas and possibilities. Alex is the owner and designer of K-Array loudspeakers. K-Array is very special, they are my first choice of loudspeaker and together we have accomplished many successful concerts and events using them. I was very honored Alex came to spend time. After a full day, here is a pic of us in Pier Village, NJ on the ocean enjoying a shellfish feast. Michel, being he's from Paris, picked the wines. What a day! Thank you
Alex, Lou, Michel

I forgot how much I enjoy this restaurant. Carols cooking and the same great wait staff. But if you were sitting next to Lindsey..... as I. you would eat cardboard and love it. :)

New York Philharmonic Presents Pixar in Concert
I'm spending the week with the NYP and enjoying working on the final concert of the film series. As the live audio engineer for the orchestra I always get to work with the best talent in the world. I created the audio design for the event while L&M supplied the audio equipment. It was a specific challenge designing and providing the wireless in ear monitors for the musicians. Thank you to my friends who came to experience the show despite the fact that the had to sit close to audio mix position because every show was sold out! Congratulations to all.

This is a must have book for Photographers
I just received this book and need to shout out my praise for the author Charles Needle. This is a must have for all types of photographers. Its contents are a motivational "how to" guide to capture images within a scene. A humble approach to an inside glimmer of perceived beauty. The inside of your individual interaction with nature. Capturing a single image that sees in slow motion, a continuous blend of color and texture while unlocking your seized moment within a frame. Bravo! and Thank you. You have inspired me to reach, touch an attain with sensitivity and respect.
To all: buy this book, because I can't lend you mine.
A Beautiful Day @ Pier Village
Walking out on the balcony watching families holding hands while taking a boardwalk stroll, smelling the fresh spring air and hearing the oceans waves.... i don't believe my words and image properly describe it.
