Recap of Peter Simon's Reggae Scrapbook Slideshow at Johnny D's

Forget Jay-Z; and to hell with Mariah Carey?s frontal massage therapist. If I could switch places with anyone on earth it would be esteemed reggae photographer and king Trustafarian Peter Simon.

But while I?m clearly jealous of the man, I have no resentment. Just because Simon (as in Simon & Schuster) was born into opulence doesn?t mean I hate him. In fact, I admire him immensely.

As he clicked through his sunsplashed photo spread at Johnny D?s last night, I sat mesmerized. And not just because of shots like his of Peter Tosh on a unicycle at Howard Johnson?s in Cambridge. Considering the number of my rich thirty-something friends who have never worked real jobs, Simon is remarkably accomplished.
