Time Out New York Kids brought me up to the Big Apple on Mother’s Day to meet the new Wiggles at Citi Field before the Mets game, snap some photos, and speak with the band a bit about their new album, their real favorite colors, and the Emma effect. Check out The Wiggles story on the Time Out NY Kids website, and the expanded photo spread below.
I got some sweet candid shots of Anthony doing his best Matt Harvey impersonation (I taught him how to throw a baseball…that’s clearly going to take a few more lessons), Emma doing her best arabesque pose, and more great ones from a beautiful day in Queens.
