I was only in NYC for 14 hours..... 5 hours of which I was asleep...... but  then zapped around like crazy seeing some of my ol\' mates..... Getting stuff done...... fixing up jobs(isn\'t matt supposed to do this?)...... it was a fantastically efficient pretty fun trip.

I only reached my apartment at 5AM after the train trip from hell...... so I had a quick kip till 10AM........ Then I dashed out to B&H to get some kit I needed....... B&H has got to be the top camera store in the world.....  I love it....... it has everything........  its like a toy-store for photographers

Then I dashed down to Phototech in Union Sq....... in the taxi on the way...... I talk to my lawyer who is attempting to defend me against charges of having committed the heinous crime of driving a car in Virginia without owning a semi-automatic assault rifle.

I got my cameras cleaned by  Phototech they are good guys round there none of this \'leave your gear with us\' for weeks....... Normally I like to drop the gear there get some breakfast...... pick up the kit...... then roll to the airport  with sparkling clean gear......  today I had a fun lunch with Amin and Candice while  Phototech worked their cleaning magic.

Then I rolled down to Spring St to have a quick coffee with JE ....... to talk about some fantastic work we a doing in Brazil and Germany...... we met up in Smoke & Mirrors they are a great operation too....... very cool and generous of spirit they also do really mega impressive work. Then we went over to Balthazar....... I like Balthazar it\'s the first place I ever ate at in NYC on my very first night in the city..... I still like it.

Then i rolled up town to Garstang19 mega advertising for more info on a shoot ........ I got to say hi to all the old crew in there....... I haven\'t been in there for ages.......  so that was fun.

Then I roll to a bar in Grand Central have a beer with an old mate........ and talk to another art director based in ATL on a conference call about a different impending shoot..... I have all the lay outs on my computer and visuals so this is a very useful and productive chat.....

Im rolling back to my place by taxi........ then I suddenly see 50cent with people gathered around him....... or at least I think I did........ we burn on past........

I stuff a few things in bags then grab another cab to the airport......... Im on the plane now ...... flying down to the big ATL weirdly sitting next to another Brit who works in advertising out of NYC......  Hopefully Matt is gonna meet me off the plane at midnight.............

All in all......That was a pretty efficient, fun trip to NYC.......

I wonder if that was Fitty.......... Apparently he has a new Xbox game coming out....... Blood on the Sand all announced today..........

Anyway here is an image I made a while ago for German Focus Magazine of 50cent ............ this definitely is Fitty
