Clean Teeth, Dirty Mind

It was time for my bi-annual cleaning and guess who had to go to Dr.Simon Rosenberg on 399 East 72nd Street between First and York Avenues? You guessed it. He and his crew are my favorites and they'll be yours too if you need the world's best dentist, a professional who can make you laugh while pulling out your molars.

The 125 mile trip from Albany to NYC is so worth it, especially if your a photographer, straight chick or gay guy wanting to take in a Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit. A voyeuristic journey awaits you at the International Center of Photography called "Notes in the Margin of the Black Book." This installation is a series of photographs exposing “the black man.” The images were highly controversial at the time they were taken because they forced the viewer to accept and/or critique the stereotypes of black, gay culture.

The lighting of each image isn't half bad neither!
