Duke's Photo Album



I like to take pictures...

So most of these are not of me, they are pictures I have taken.
If you'd like for me to expand on these, please let Dave (our webmaster) know!


Playing at Rainbow and Stars (the Cabaret at the Rainbow Room, NYC)






My lovely wife Jennifer...

We met when she moved
into the apartment above
me in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
We actually went out to Las
Vegas and got married; both
sets of parents were surprised.
That was eleven years ago
and she's still my sweetheart...

And she makes some
fine looking babies!
Above: My wife and I pose on the fire escape
behind our first apartment (I sat the camera on
the steps and used the timer).  Below: Jen is
actually camera shy... I'm just camera-happy.









My son Matthew.

He loves classic rock music
(Floyd, Ozzie, etc.) and is
one of my favorite people.
He can now beat me in most
of the math games we play.

I am so proud of what a
wonderful person he has
become!

What a face!  Looking out the F train as
it approaches Smith and 9th in NY. Below,
I snapped a quick pick of my son at the
Beluga whale tank at the NY aquarium.





My daughter Shani...

She absolutely loves every
creature on earth.

We have four gerbils,
an iguana, a cat, a frog
and almost anything else
that makes its way to our
doorstep.  She wants to
be a veterinarian and an
inventor some day.  And
she's a tremendously
talented musician...

I'm such a lucky dad!

I took this pic in our back yard.
My wife gave birth to the Gerber Baby with this
one. Just beautiful from day one.  I took the pic
above as my wife pushed her on the swing.
Below: Typical sassiness!

Did I mention...

I  like  to  paint  on  walls?








I like sharks, and I like outerspace.
In the case of this mural I combined
the two.  It's in one of our bathrooms.




I painted this in the kids bathroom.
They love it.  I love the way
hammerhead sharks school.

Another one of my passions, as you might have guessed, is painting...

If you're wondering if I've always been this eccentric in my expression of it, the answer is yes.  Here's what my bedroom wall looked like when my wife first met me in Brooklyn...



Of course I paint other things as well (and even on canvases, not just walls!) and so here are few of those...


"Miles In the Sky"

No, it's not Elvis.  This is

my far-out interpretation of

one of my favorite musicians.

If you look at the trails right,

 they spell out "Miles".
