Though I’ve mentioned this before to the readers of the Piercing Ken blog, there’s a whole lot more of you hitting these posts of late so some might not know that my neighborhood of Bay Ridge Brooklyn was originally a very strong Norwegian based area. That said, we hold an annual parade for Norwegian Constitution Day which is on May 17th and this year it was able to be held on the actual day so a little more special in the hearts of all Norwegian residents and those who came to visit the neighborhood once again. I headed out to the parade and snapped a whole bunch of photos that will bring you into the moment with me. Its a mostly visual presentation but I might chime in here and there.
Hey there my photography loving friends and readers of the PiercingKen.com blog. I wanted to take a moment of your time to let you know about an exhibit that I recently attended in NYC. The presentation itself is called “Show Me What You’re Made Of” and this is a series of photographs taken by Lamb Of God’s lead singer D. Randall Blythe. I documented the presentation in a narrative over on PiercingMetal.com and you can be transported there by clicking the announcement below. Please do check it out. This exhibit will run until June 30th 2015.

Readers of the Piercing Ken blog know full well how I sometimes like to send them over to the PiercingMetal website when there is an item that will interest them on that page. Just the other day I attended the Sunday session of the 3rd Annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and my coverage is live on my page as you see this broadcast. If you click on the image below you will be magically transported over to that side of the creative fence for the two chapters that I did and all its images. This will most likely be the final time that PiercingMetal will hold that narrative based on my doing more food related things right here on Piercing Ken

Please know that I have disabled comments on this broadcast but any topical thoughts that you may have about the NYC Hot Sauce Expo can be left on either of the two narratives that you find on PiercingMetal.com; Thanks for listening. Enjoy the adventure.
A couple of years ago I was involved in a Focus Group that was asking about my own personal technology setup and they wanted photos of the gear you were using and how it was being used during your activities. Recently I discovered those images while re-organizing some folders and putting things in proper places and thought it would be fun content for the personal blog so here we go with an overview of my creative workspace and its relatively neat order on the day I shot it.
The Metal Office by Ken Pierce (2013)
The monitor is a 21″ flatscreen and its the Dell brand since it came included with the system. I have another spare smaller screen in my possession but the room is just not there on the desk for me to connect it to the desktop. Maybe if I move the All-In-One device. As you can see I approach the media office with maturity and have a couple of Spider-Man action figures sitting there protecting the sanctity of the writing world for me. Since my mouse is on the right hand side I use the left side space for the things I am examining and you can see a few CD’s and stickers here that I just didn’t move when I snapped the photo. On top of the screen is a small Microsoft Camera for those times when I need to do any sort of video chat. They are great for the band interview but I mostly use this to keep up with the folks who have moved a few states away since I first snapped it.
I just wanted to take a moment and let the readers of the PiercingKen.com site know that my music and pop culture website PiercingMetal.com is celebrating its 10th Anniversary today. To be quite honest I can hardly believe it because it really doesn’t feel like its been that long but indeed it has. I put up a quick narrative with some history and visuals on the website and you can check that out by clicking on the image below. If you’ve been supporting the site over the years I would love for you to comment in on the anniversary and ask that you do it on that post as opposed to here. The comments on this posting have been turned off so you cannot say it here anyway.
Thanks for all the support you’ve given to PiercingMetal and of course on this site as well; I will be back on this same channel with your regularly scheduled posting programs 🙂
