Big thanks to my partner in the dance @benjlee in the final of the inaugural @osprey_open. Enjoyed disappearing into the game with you my friend. “The transtatistical aesthetics of serious tennis… The true opponent, the unfolding boundary, is the player himself. Always and only the self out there on the court to be met, the competing boy on the nets other side: he is not the foe: he is more the partner in the dance. he is the excuse or occasion for meeting the self. As you are his occasion. Tennis’s beauty’s infinite roots are self competitive. You compete with your own limits to transcend the self in imagination and execution. Disappear inside the game: breakthrough limits: transcend: improve: win.” ~ David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest #davidfosterwallace #tennis (at Bellport, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSE2Q7KLTnu/?utm_medium=tumblr

I was born and raised on Long Island. I remember vividly the sweet taste our drinking water from our natural ground water aquifers. And I’ll never forget when they piped in “city” water after the landfill contaminated this vital and pristine resource. Since I was a child I’ve watched the literal mountain of trash grow and loom over the horizon of our beautiful bays and ocean, a monument to our consumption circling back to consume us. Like many, many other communities in our country, Long Island has a garbage crisis. The current policy is to burn a large portion of household waste at the Covanta incinerator in Hempstead, located in a majority Black, Latinx, working-class community; and then send that ash to the Brookhaven Landfill located in North Bellport, also a majority Black, Latinx, Indigenous and working-class community. After years of promising that the Brookhaven Landfill would close in 2024 — and in the face of persistent community complaints about the odors, potential toxicity, blight, and environmental risk of the Landfill — this past August, the Brookhaven Town Council submitted a plan to build a new ashfill adjacent to the existing Landfill site. We need to tell officials that enough is enough! Use the link in my bio to join us tomorrow Tuesday 10/20, 7pm in a Virtual Action of resistance to tell the DEC that Close Means Close! And help us spread the word! #closemeansclose https://www.instagram.com/p/CGjGUlCjyER/?igshid=1jth4cnaqmcft

Love this portrait series by my dear friend @garyschneider7 For me the portraits land somewhere between the mysticism of Klimt and the romantic grotesque of Bacon and reveal something deeply human and universal about our vulnerability. Each image was made with an 8x10 camera in the dark with Gary painting our faces with light from the blackness. Check out the rest of this beautiful series in the link in my bio. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIcDnhDctM/?igshid=fy3xdq2bg9f7

I marvel every day at this amazing young man. He turned 7 the other day. Cassius, my son, I admire your creativity and kindness, your wild spirit and free flowing imagination. You are a lover of the world and your fellow creatures and I love you. And I love the woman @thepaniarose who gave him to me. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5IM6MmBNRC/?igshid=1fiwb1miudyr2
