Big Apple BBQ Block Party New York City 2009
Big Bob Gibson Barbecue at the Big Apple BBQ Block Party New York City 2009 from Anthony Quintano on Vimeo.
Today I attended the Big Apple Block Party New York City at Madison Square Park the food was delicious especially from Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q the Sauce and the pork are just amazing. This event is fun if you love BBQ. I always make sure to get a fast pass every year because the regular lines are usually more than an hour long per stand and is not worth the wait. I will be posting a short video of the event today with an introduction to Chris Lilly with Big Bob Gibsons.
Canon Live Learning Highlight Video of Today’s workshop with Vincent LaForet
At the last minute I managed to get into the workshop due to a cancellation. I really enjoyed the class and getting the chance to work with Vincent directly. Being able to be in a room with a professional like him for a day was great. I met many professionals who attended the workshop who were all very friendly. Each one of them brought something different to the table. I look forward to staying in touch with you all as we learn to use this camera more and more. Here is some clips I threw together of the workshop today. Enjoy

Las Vegas Day 4 – Rhyolite Ghost Town, Nevada
Thanks to an amazing video by an amazing cinematographer philip bloom. I discovered this ghost town through a video he shot. Kim and I were dying to see it in person. So we took the hour and a half drive out there near the border of California and Nevada. We had slept in on this day so we didnt get to hit the road until about 5pm by the time we had reached the town the sun had set and these ominous clouds were rolling in over us. Let me tell you it made for some great video clips. It had started to drizzle a bit so I could only grab a few short time lapses. But I manage to get some great pictures. Now since today we are on our way home i don’t have time to post all the photos so I leave you with one to tease you with. I will post more tomorrow since we are set to arrive back in New Jersey at 10pm at jfk. Thank you all for visiting my blog and checking out our travels. I will see you all when I return home. oh I almost forgot. Here is a bit of history to the town we visited click here
Sincerely,
Anthony Quintano
this image was not adjusted in anyway in photoshop. this is the actual photo from the camera.
Las Vegas Day 3
Kim and I headed over to the Bellagio for brunch.. waited about an hour and a half before eating. It was delicious food but I would not wait in line that long for it again. we then headed into the gardens to see it during the day.
After the Bellagio kim and I went to the luxor and saw the titanic exhibit which was actually pretty moving they had this huge piece of the actual side of the ship hanging for display. The exhibit will be there for the next 10 years I would definitely check it out if you haven’t already.
We then went to the other end of the strip to the wynn which was modern, classy and very new. they had some great mojitos in there lake view lounge area to the right of the reception desks. They have a light show which they put on in that lake area at night starting at 8pm they werent that impressive but you do get a different show every hour.
We also caught the shows in front of treasure island and mirage. We werent very pleased with how treasure island has updated thier hotel. the show has basically turned into a strip show and has nothing to do with pirates anymore. They have taken down the skull and bones and replaced their sign with “TI” which isnt all that impressive. Enjoy some of our photos.
click on the image above and you will see more images from our day 3 I just didnt have time to post them
Las Vegas Day 2
Here is a few highlights from our day 2 tour. Kim and I headed out in our rent a car to the Valley of fire which was only about a half hour outside of vegas. We then drove through the park and ended up at lake mead. Drove around the lake till we reached the Hoover Dam. We then had some dinner and made out way over to the stratosphere which was way to crowded so we ended up not going up the tower. We then headed to Fremont St. where we caught a fun live performance of some classic rock while we waiting for the show to start on the ceiling. Turns out for memorial day they did a special slideshow of all the men and women who have served in the armed forces while scrolling all their names. it was very touching.
