happy weekend & a wee NY Love letter...

This random sidewalk sale on Canal St. reminded me what a crazy, amazing, ridiculous, wonderful place New York is...

Since my beautiful cousin, Nicole, arrived in town Friday to visit for a week, I'm looking forward to showing off this city to her.  I feel blessed to experience the hustle and bustle here. There are so many creative, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial souls here.  Lots of energy!

I think I'll start our days playing this song. I dare you not to dance...

Hope you have a great weekend!!

NY days...

exploring the High Line...

the High Line was a once street level subway that was moved above ground subway system, because it was so dangerous. The history is pretty interesting - concrete cowboys, Death Avenue. The subway went right through buildings too! You can see the original train tracks in some areas. Great views, lots of lounging and I can't wait till the park extends the all the way to 34th st. Right now it stops at 20th St. ....

Before-a mess/After-a-mess

I took these snaps back in Janurary 2008. It was the day after I moved into my apartment.

July makes it six months that I’ve been living in Brooklyn. Since then I’ve finished graduate school, found my new cat and got my first real world kind of jobie job. And not much more since. I've been consumed with finding a job, finishing my written thesis and, for the past tree months or so, I’ve been working seven days a week.

I’ve decided to quit my weekend job to concentrate on what I enjoy doing- making: photographs, books, and things. So I’m starting this blog to keep track of my progress in the making in hopes that eventually I can start my own small business.
