Finally, SNOW!

Our first snow fall finally arrived! It was a blizzard all day until it turned into an ice storm and all the pretty snow turned into the NYC brown sludge. It was peaceful while it lasted...

My street!

My ETSY!

I finally got my shop up on etsy.com. I am going to start out selling my polroid transfer cards and a few prints and see how it goes... check it out and pass it along ;)

FALL 2008

I made another trip to Central Park for fall 2008 and it was in full color!

Halloween is coming!

We had some pre halloween fun at the stronghold, baked halloween sugar cookies and carved a pumpkin. Also watched a "scary" movie...

Austin BATS!!!

On my trip to Austin, Ryann took me to the bridge where every night around 1.5 million bats fly out from there home under the bridge to go out and feed... Experiencing this was pretty awesome eventhough I got some bat poop on me.

Banksy NYC!

A Banksy art exhibit hit the streets of NYC yesterday in a mock pet store in the west village. Banksy is a UK-based graffiti street artist, who is known for his anonymous identity, will randomly exhibit his art throughout the world addressing serious social issues with a comedic twist. In this latest installation here in NYC he goes about showing "our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming."
All the animals and food creatures that were created move and make noise! This exhibit is pretty awesome and hits the issue right on the "nose".
These pixs don't justify it, sorry. Check the link to his site for better viewing!
But go if you live in NYC, it will be up until Halloween!

Bike Trip!

This day was perfect weather for a bike ride around Manhattan and Brooklyn! We rode from BK over the Willimasburg Bridge to the East Side of the city for Brunch, then over to the West Side Highway and around the bottom of Manhattan to the Brooklyn Bridge and over to BK and then home! About 20 miles...longest bike ride I've ever completed.

These are my favorite sunsets...

Family Reunion '08

This year we all gathered at Carpinteria and camped for a few days, on the beach! It was awesome being back in this part of California, so relaxing, I miss it! Seeing all the family was also great! There was about 35 of us...mostly lil ones, my cousins are just popping them out so fast!

Steve's B-day

Steve's B-day BBQ on the roof of the StrongHold!!!

Local Garden

I found a local garden in the middle of McCarren Park with all sorts of beautiful flowers! Who would of knew I wasn't out hiking somewhere in the mountains when these plants were photographed...

I created some ART

I found this roll from a 4 lensed camera that I shot 2 winters ago here in NYC. The results of the film were somewhat poor so I had some fun creating some "art" with the images I had to work with. These were all taken at the Williamsburg water front, which is now a National Park!

BED!

Look at my new adult bed frame that "this person" built for me! It's so awesome and so soild unlike those IKEA ones that fall apart in 6 months!
I love it...come check it out for yourself!
(oh yeah, and that's my new room in my new apt with Kiel)

Did you know...

...the "italian" store front has changed names once again??? Since I have lived around here it has been named "hardware store" with no hammer in sight, then to "pest control" and now this...
But I think it is now official, they won't be hangin around their joint anymore...

Jen's awesome video!

My friend Jen makes these rad videos of her life her in NYC, (she moved here about 7 months ago), and I wanted to share it with everyone too! The clips are mostly from the dreary winter here and a few from my b-day and of course of her and steve, how cute! Enjoy!

HABITUAL

I recently photographed some HABITUAL jeans for Jen and her new job at the Namaste Showroom for all her clients! Her and Steve were great models along with guest star model Salsa.

V-day Treats!

Couldn't pass up any holiday without making some delicious treats!
Cupcakes and heart shaped sugar cookies, some dipped in chocolate...YUM!

Blizzard!

I think this was the second and last time we had SNOW in this winter...it was a crazy blizzard though, however lasted about an hour! So we had to go play no matter how freezing cold it was!

Birthday Party!

Friday was my birthday and we all started out the celebrations with cupcakes and ice cream at the Stronghold, then pizza at Vinnies and then bowling in Queens! It was an amazing time...I don't remember the last time I had such a great birthday!
