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!

Xmas Lights in NYC

The night was sooo cold all of our feet froze! But it was cool to see the city so colorful for the winter season.

Photoshoot at The End

I went and photographed some "corporate" portraits for the dudes at the End Records. It was a funny day. Luckily all the guys were into being photographed... some a little too much!

SNOW!

First big snow of the season! Wasn't much and didn't last very long but it was pretty for the few hours early in the morning.

Central Park Fall 07

I finally made it out to Central Park this fall before all the trees were bare. Although I arrived about 30 mins before the sun hid behind the Manhattan skyline I managed to capture a few photos of the amazing leaf colors. Nature in NYC!

THANKSGIVING 07

538 Johnson and more all joined forces and cooked a ginormous amount of food to feed all that stayed behind in New York for Thanksgiving. The feast was amazing and so much food. I think there was at least 15 pies! The day was beautiful, 60 degrees and the party was a fun time.

Halloween 07

Halloweeen NYC... we decided to try and see the parade but of course was extremely crowded so when the police were not watching we snuck under the barricades and joined in the fun and walked up 6th Ave in the parade. The theme was "Wings of Desire". I was a Ladybug! Check out the monster with the wings below! The rest of the night was full of NYC adventures walking around and running into friends. So many obscure people and costumes, halloween has to be the craziest night in new york, with the craziest people roaming about...

Soccer Crew!

Its getting too cold for soccer night but thanks to Chris from Apt 210 we all have the team photo to remember the fun summer nights!

Chris's Birthday!

Sunday was Chris's Birthday. A few of us went to Quantam Leap and brunched on the best vegan blueberry pancakes in the city!

After brunch we went back to the StrongHold to get ready for the party later that evening. I cooked forever, it seemed. But everything turned out awesome and delicious. Check out the Tostada Party below... Pinata and all!
