The Sparrow Seeks its Prey

The Sparrow is in a frenzy as it spots its next meal. 

When I was young I always thought this picture of boney witch carrying a briefcase...oh the wild imagination of a child.

The Sparrow on the Bamboo

A sparrow is perched onto the bamboo branch waiting patiently for her next meal. 

The Chinese writing on the right of the painting was written by my father's painting teacher/master which says "you have surpassed your ambition my apprentice, you now honor me as a master, an equal".

The Brooklyn Brainery

Producer: Charlie Hoxie

Camera Operator: Norman Lam

There are times when I become utterly amazed at all the eclectic things there are to do in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Brainery is one of those places. It is located in Carroll Gardens neighborhood of Brooklyn. What is the Brooklyn Brainery one might ask. It sounds pretty smart. The place is community driven, crowd sourced education. They offer classes that are taught by members of the community all over NYC. The topics for the classes are conjured up and suggested by you and me! Simple people who are passionate about everything and anything. The concept is all about low cost classes where you don't have spend an entire paycheck to learn something new.

In this segment one of the co-founders, Jonathan Soma who is also a teacher shows us the exotic world of culinary spices. Afterwards we plunge ourselves in the anecdotal history of New York City government by a law professional. We finally end our journey with two craftsmen indulging us in the meticulous construction in art of fish fly tying.

Check out their website and maybe even take up a class for yourselves!
