New York Cool Photographers Hey, we know the Surreal Life when we see it. Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Angelo Rivera and Mary Blanco

March was a busy month for New York Cool Photographers Angelo Rivera and Mary Blanco. They were running all over town photographing celebrities. We may be New York Cool, but we are suckers for celebrities just like you are, or you wouldn’t be reading this.

Martha Reeves by Angelo Rivera

First Angelo went to see Martha Reeves (of Martha Reeves and the Vandelas fame) at J & R Music World on March 7, 2005. Martha was promoting her new album, Home to You. You go girl!

Magic Johnson by Angelo Rivera

Next Angelo caught Magic Johnson promoting a brand new DVD called the Fundamentals of Basketball at the NBA Story on 5th Avenue and 52nd (March 23rd). Hey, Magic is always magic in my book.

Susan Lucci by Angelo Rivera

And finally Angelo caught up with Susan Lucci (of All My Children fame) when she was spoke at the Friar’s Club on March 22nd. She looks that good and she’s funny too?

Montell Williams and Susan Lucci by Mary Blanco

And it must have been Susan Lucci’s "New York Cool" month because our photographer Mary Blanco also photographed her, this time with Montel Williams. Susan, Montel and Haywood Nelson were acting as judges at a stand-up comedy contest to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research (March 9, 2005 at the New York Improv).

Many thanks to Angelo and Mary for the photos and many thanks also to Martha, Magic, Susan and Montel just for being.

Rock on!
