BLISS SHOW!

I was recently able to hang some of my polroid transfers up at BLISS cafe, a local place I frequent often for brunch on the weekends! It was a fun chance to actually "show" the pieces.

Happy Spring!

I haven't made a post in forever! These last few months of winter have dragged. But now its SPRING finally! Warm weather :)

Holga and BK bridge

I just processed this HOLGA roll of film from walking over the bridge this summer. I also used the first one as my xmas card this year!

Winter Holidays '08

December here was pretty cold and mostly spent indoors. We did venture out to the city on Christmas and as you can see the Empire State Building was in full color for the day. The rest of the shots are from NYE. We had a pizza party at the Stronghold!!! Yum!

Bandit!

It's taken me a while to make this post debuting BANDIT! We found this kitten late one night outside of Chris's building a couple of months ago now. The next day when I took him to the vet he only weighed 1.8 pounds. Chris decided to keep him and he is the cutest thing ever! Now he is growing into a strong teenager and just figured out how to climb and jump into the loft bed...

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.

Cotton Candy Skies

These are my favorite sunsets...

Just walking around my hood...

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!
