I flew to Los Angeles this morning, I am photographing a wedding in San Diego this weekend. Kinda awesome.
These two are the best. I am so grateful to be able to see them twice in one month.
Today... /
Thanks Angela.
I had fun!
It's been too long. /
I have taken a break from the Internet for a while, I guess I burnt myself out. But I am back!
I have been in Utah for the past week and it's been a really good week. I have left my camera in its bag this entire week but now I think it's time to wake it up.
I am happy right now.
Reasons for this happiness:
-It is Autumn, the ground is still wet from this mornings rain.
-my phone keeps sending me texts from someone I like hearing from
-I have resurrected my favorite candle (not sure the scent but I got it from Urban) Yum!
-I have been sleeping in my own bed
-I have had Camera Obscura playing constantly in the background of my life
Yep... That's it.
Something nice to look at /
Silly Parties /
The other night we went to some party for some french singer names Sliimy. It was great, mostly because of the free drinks and the balloons we left with.
Yay... /
My image of Naomi and Andy on Yahoo's homepage today (thank you Aaron for sending me the screen cap).
While at Dessert /
Nate gave me the idea to draw everyone without looking the the paper or lifting the pen.
So I did it.
Casey and Jendar
Becca and Nate
Lee and Claire
Becca and Casey draw me

Can you match the drawings with the faces from the image above?
Day Not Sure /
It has been 3 days since my real post... I am going to try to catch up but it might be a little much. Let's try it out.
So there has been a lot of window shopping. Kate's Paperie, always a great time. Here are some paper masks Claire and I took for a spin.
Yesterday afternoon we had a girls outing. Brunch at Alice's Teacup , it was so cute and so good, then we did some window shopping and visited the Farmer's Market at Union Square.
(Naomi, the tomatoes remind me of your tic tacs in this photo)
That evening Bingo Night!
No one won.
This morning Claire, Hanna and I did the Chelsea Galleries, hours of walking and we only got to a small handful of spaces. Here are some of m favorite bits of today:
Milk Studios, There was a beautiful show of Sam Haskins work, there were my favorite photos
Maya Lin instillation pieces based of the earths surfaces.
Ooops, don't know who this belongs too but I like it.
Our little crew for today
Anyone recognize this guy? I will give a candy bar to the first person who knows
And there he is again.
Brooklyn Bridge.
DUMBO
Click to enlarge this one, I made a little 360 landscape.
Well, I am still loving the way things have been turning out.
I am excited for "New York, I Love You" /
New York I Love You comes out October 16 (in limited theaters), I am pretty excited about it.
If it is half as good as good as Paris Je Taime (is one of my favorite films) than it will be amazing. Basically it is a compilation of short stories, all directed by different directors about Love in the city.
Watch the Tailer Here.

Something Funny: In Me Own Words /
My friend Mike/Murray (who is a great illustrator) showed me this book a while back and I have been dreaming about it ever since. I found and purchased it last night... no buyers remorse here.
You should do the same and check it out, In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot.
Day 12: Apples and Fondue /
Claire and joined a group of people that were headed upstate to an apple orchard to pick Apples. It was pretty great, we walked around plucking a variety apples from their trees and tasting each kind, we found the tastiest to be Empire apples.
I think these are the Empire Apples we eating here
And of course... picture time
After fighting with Claire about having pictures of me taken she wins...
and enough about that.
This is Naomi taking a picture of the food with her polaroid camera... gotta love photographers! PS Naomi has a great blog (I am sure you all know of it) but if not check it out here.
I really, really hate having my picture taken... These aren't that bad though! Thanks Claire.
Fondue time! We went to a place on 7th called Bourgeois Pig. It was fantastic.
Free Hugs! I passed but Claire went for it.
Another great evening.
The coolest/most ridiculous dude in New York /
Maybe I am really mean but this guy is just is just a little too hip for his own good.
Day 11: I've had better. /
This morning Claire and I took a bus from DC to New York. It was a long bus ride, a little too long.
To pass the time I did this
Made a list of my current favorites in my book
Here they are
-Gifts wrapped in brown paper, anything wrapped in brown paper really
-Sleepless nights that are taken advantage of
-Writing my thoughts of phrases really big on paper to make them last
-Friendly bus drivers
-Wearing mustard yellow and orange at the same time
-Songs about the moon
-Reviving dead friendships
Took this from the window
Claire writing in her book... (look it's my pen!)
Pretending to sleep + me texting
So much going on right? Sorry for the lack of photos...
I know this isn't the prettiest photo but I love the sun and I love when it peers over the earth and spills itself into my camera.
In New York:
Tonight I we went to a party, but first we needed to eat.
T sits by himself, Claire and I pretending to have more fun than we are actually having.
Dance moves in the hallway make me the funny girl I am
The party was a bust (sorry)... But we tried.
night.
Army of Darkness Iphone App /
Yep, pretty cool and pretty freaking funny and it's free (my favorite kind).
Something good Is About to Happen /
Something magical is in the works. The lovely Rachel and I are cooking up something similar to our underwater bride and groom shoot but not really, maybe? I am excited.
Some more awesomeness /
Here are a few more sweet tats that I have found worthy to share. I am confused about the top one, are those flowers or what?
Someone please visit Max /
My roommate sent me a text today informing me that my dog Max looks like he needs Prozac, I can't go home right now to make him happy and I don't want to start him on any drugs at the moment so I need your help friends, if anyone in the area likes dogs and feels like doing something with a dog please let me know, he needs friends, he is lonely.
I am being serious. Call me if you want to take Max out for frisbee date or a nice walk in the mountains.
Look at his face, he needs you.
Best roommate ever! /
So, I am staying with my friends Victor for a few days and he has the worst roommate ever, I know all of you are thinking that you have had the worst roommate ever but no... Victor wins, he wins big time.
This kid is all sorts of weird but what is so sad/funny about all of this is he doesn't know how to use a toilet properly.
Another one of Victors' roommates had to draw a diagrahm of "How to use a toilet", this paper is literally taped to the bathroom wall as we speak...
Something great! /
I just found a blog on it to
I Love it!
Day 10: Spy museums aren't as great as they sound /
Still in DC. To my surprise me are staying right next to a Potbelly! Oh the joy, I love this place and their amazing toasted subs (it is so sad how much I adore food). So, we ate lunch at Potbelly's and it was so delightful I am still smiling.
We wanted to do some museums in the city and for some reason the Spy Museum sounded the coolest so we went and to our surprise it wasn't as fantastic as we thought. I guess I was expect to see some g0-go-gadget arms or something but it was we were bombarded with an insane amount of information that didn't hit our curious spots... Don't get me wrong, it had it's interesting moments, I just wanted more of it.
Claire outside the museum.
I want this key chain camera
and this camera watch
and this mini camera that takes pictures of documents of tiny sized film
But I really want this concealment ring
I will pass on the rectal spy kit though... (Yikes!)
I loved this though... Pigeon Spies! How cool is this!
This was my favorite part of the museum, seeing the photographs that the pigeons took
Ah, so amazing, you can see the birds' wings in the frame, it's so beautiful and the Pigeon has no clue what he did!
We watched old propaganda films for the public to watch and be reminded to keep their mouths shut with any sort of information.
Here is Claire in a chair (I forgot to mention, Claire hurt her foot the other night while running through Central Park, it's been a bummer having her in so much pain, say prayers she gets better soon).
Photograph of spies that have been caught
Propaganda posters (I thought this one looked like Darth Vadar SP?)
Gotta love this one... "She's not so dumb"
Well, after blogging about all of that I have realized I enjoyed the Spy Museum more than I thought.
We met up with Victor and his cousin on the city for dinner, I am still in shock over the cleanliness of DC, it's so beautiful, I think if I dropped candy on the ground here I would pick it up and maybe it eat... maybe?
The subway, Pretty cool.
At the apartment, Claire examines her purchases.
Once again, a fantastic day... Oh yeah, another good thing happened to me, while in line to buy ice-cream I was thinking to myself, "dang, this little scoop is not worth 6 bucks" and walla! the man in front of me gives me a coupon for ice-cream... 2 dollars off! How great is that?
Okay.
Night
