Cycling Through Hobbies


A trip to the Guggenheim reminded me how much I actually like art. I don't expect to ever sell anything or end up in a museum, but I really do like making my own stuff and putting it on my wall. You can tell I'm improving too. I mean, how could I not be, this one has hands WITH fingers!

The Little Things



Sometimes I forget just how amazing the city is.

I gave my friend Annalisa a small look into the current work and life of Lucas Buck. In this glimpse, I took her along to a shoot in New York City's Hearst Building, a structural art work in the form of one of New York's tallest buildings with floor to ceiling prism windows which causes to illuminate each floor with all natural light. If you had to spend all day at a cold sterile desk job, this would be building of choice. After watching a little of the arrivals spectacle, we went back to the 41st floor to shoot the 4 stars of The House Bunny, Anna Faris and Rumor Willis among them. Night fell, work ended and we headed back to Brooklyn to discover a surprisingly good jazz band playing at a local bar.

I saw the whole event through her eyes and I fell in love once again with how incredible this city can be. There are so many amazing things going on all the time in one singular location that sometimes I forget how cool it is to live where I do, do what I do, and have the opportunities I have, and have taken sometimes for granted. I think I'm maturing because I'm really beginning to appreciate it all.

Welcome Home, Mademoiselle!



Lindsay est ma Traductrice! And now she is back in America. Naturally that means we would make a pyramid in her front yard before her welcome party kicks off. After being stuck in a car with four girls for a four hour drive to Baltimore AND having to listen to stories of waxings, bleachings and polishings, it only stands to reason that we would make a human pyramid immediately upon exiting that car.

NOT my idea... but begrudgingly fun none the less.
