Sunrise at Morgan Creek
The beauty of this pic is two-fold. This was taken by good friend Arthur Krasinsky. Its venue is extraordinary, even funny; belying its serene, solitary setting, it is actually hard by the Garden State Parkway northbound, just south of the Driscoll Bridge. You can pull over to the shoulder and shoot this puppy, with the hum of bumper-to-bumper Jersey commuters drowning out your radio.
The 'two' of two-fold: I had it hanging in my office at Merrill Lynch HQ in Manhattan. A senior executive visiting me expressed an interest.
'Where is that, Maine?' he asked. 'It looks like Maine. I have a boat up there.'
I said I wasn't sure.
'It's Maine. I want it. I'll give you $200 for it.'
Out of the question, I told him. I liked the pic, and I thought it went well with my office decor 'Contemporary Clutter'.
'I want it!' he insisted. 'How about $300?'
Reluctantly I parted with the 'prized' portrait, secure in the knowledge that Arthur would give me another print of it tomorrow!
Memory flags here. I'm sure I gave Arthur half of the swag, but he insists he didn't get a dime. The older I get, the more I lean toward his version.
