And for some completely unknown reason my cute co-workers decided to sport their Star Wars tees today.  Now, being a big fan of the series and an even bigger fan of these great people I had to document it.  Used the phone which is by no means the best option – but hey it was […]

Star Wars Day

Happy birthday to my sister!

What a night!  I got to celebrate the birthday of my lovely and awesome sister Marie.  She’s honestly the best and I’m so glad she’s in my life!

Today I overcame my anxiety around asking strangers if I can photograph them.  Maybe it was having my sister with me or being in a city I didn’t live in or just the general friendliness I was getting from everyone we spoke to but today was the day.  My first portrait this morning was of […]

NYC in Color

Another batch from New York!  This set is in color.  Honestly, I don’t know how we squeezed so much into 2 and a half days but I had the best time.  I hit up the U.S.Open, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park, a Harlem jazz club, and many other spots around Manhattan.

I used to be pretty irritated with selfies.  They seemed so self indulgent.  Then at some point I warmed up to them and I stopped putting so much judgement around them.  There’s something about facing yourself and capturing that moment and saying ‘I am here.’  ‘I exist.’  Really it’s just like self-portraiture, which through the […]

Self Portrait Sunday

Petite Shell

New York can be an intimidating and overwhelming place.  For someone like me who needs a lot of wide open spaces and fresh air the city can sometimes push in on me.  Thankfully, I’m also a wanderer and that takes over when I’m there.  This past week I stumbled upon Petite Shell, a delicious pastry […]

I’m slowly but surely getting into the habit of bringing my camera everywhere.  It’s starting to get more familiar and less uncomfortable or embarrassing to pull out.  Tonight I brought it along to movie night.  SIFF is featuring women in cinema right now so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get together for some […]

NYC in Black and White

Finally getting around to editing pics from last week’s trip to NYC.  This time around I felt pretty compelled to split them up into black and white and color.  Here’s the first batch!

This morning I had every intention of snagging breakfast with my long-time pal at a spot in my hood but alas we were surprised to find that they were closed for renovations (Tilikum, see you again soon).  Not ones for wallowing we immediately changed course to our old hood to a longtime favorite and it […]

Milk Bar

More NY treasures in tonight’s post.  Last week I had the pleasure of trying out Momofuko’s Milk Bar.  If you’ve been watching this season of Masterchef, you’ll know this as the fab treat spot from chef/founder/owner Christina Tosi.   And if you’re not watching Masterchef and Masterchef, Jr get on it.  It’s incredibly inspiring even […]
