The Booth at the Bridal Fair /  by Jessica Peterson


Last Saturday I had a booth at a local Bridal Fair.  

For some I thought it would be a good idea to make personalized handouts for people to remember me by.  I made glass magnets with my images inside.  They were the coolest but it took me a long time to do them (I still have some if you want one).



They are so cute and tiny.

Here is the booth.  It was a little kitschy but oh well, it was me so I'm proud. 
I made that sweet chalkboard in the back too. 


These are the magnets in little packages

some of the cards. 

Hire me.
Thanks.


Los Angeles /  by Jessica Peterson


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.






It's been too long. /  by Jessica Peterson

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.

Nate gave me the idea to draw everyone without looking the the paper or lifting the pen. 
So I did it.

Becca and Nate

Lee and Claire

Can you match the drawings with the faces from the image above?

Day Not Sure /  by Jessica Peterson

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. 

Pizza at my favorite place and ice-cream at the pier... Life doesn't get any better.
  Sometimes I feel like I should be a little more grown-up but then I do things like this...
like Give Kalvin lightning arms
um... maybe I will regret posting this in the morning but oh well, sorry.
And give Hanna wings.

Well, I am still loving the way things have been turning out.  

I am excited for "New York, I Love You" /  by Jessica Peterson


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.

and 

This is my favorite short from Paris Je Taime, if you know what is good for you, you will watch it  my favorite video... so beautiful. 

Day 12: Apples and Fondue /  by Jessica Peterson

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...
I really, really hate having my picture taken... These aren't that bad though! Thanks Claire.



 and enough about that.

Fondue time! We went to a place on 7th called Bourgeois Pig. It was fantastic. 

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.


Free Hugs!  I passed but Claire went for it. 

Another great evening.

Day 11: I've had better. /  by Jessica Peterson

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.
