“Make New Friends. Keep The Old…

March 15, 2012 by pbenjay

One is Silver and the other is Gold.”

Two nights ago the Empire State Building was lit totally in green to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America! Some things you just never forget and I always remember that Girl Scout saying about silver and gold friends.

Tonight I had dinner with a Gold friend, Janet. We worked together when we both lived in Connecticut and we played together when we were both divorced moms with young pre-teen girls! Tonight was a night of reliving fond memories, catching up on spouses, kids and grandkids. There’s song that New Found Glory recorded; Right Where We Left Off and dinner tonight with my old friend was just like that!

This blog is a virtual hug for you, Janet and also a big Thank You to Murray, Pbenjay’s staff photographer. Now what does one have to do with other? Tonight Janet asked me, “Who is Murray?” After I explained our relationship grown out of a life-long friendship between Murray and my husband, Janet exclaimed and extolled the merits of Murray’s photos! Well you don’t have to convince me, that’s for sure. She mentioned that through his beautiful, artistic, striking and personal photos of New York City, she feels like she lives here (which is about 3,000 miles away from where she resides).

So this one’s for you Janet through the lens of Murray’s camera.

I agree!! Murray’s pics help remind me to slow down to look at the flowers, the squirrels, birds and some creative outfits… they also refresh a sense of aroma of spring, summer, fall and winter zest into my heart and soul. His pictures express truly more than 1000 words 🙂 thank you

And I thought the green lights were for ST Paddys Day.

Murray Head is the most talented photographer in NYC. You’ve got great taste, Janet!
