Upstate NY

Took a quick trip north to Bovina, NY (apparently there is also a Bovina in Texas too?) with Ty, Melissa, Kellen and TJ. And wow, was it a much needed break from the city! Simone never ran so much in her life and I had never seen such an incredible locally made cheese spread (complete with homemade pesto with basil from their garden!), so we were both happy campers. Plus I got to shoot skeet and learn about growing Christmas trees. Did you know it takes 9-12 years to grow a normal sized Christmas tree? I didn't. Ty and Kellens parents are some of the sweetest ever and their house is super neat. I mean, the closets are heated, how cool is that?

I can tell it's been too long since I updated because blogger asked me to sign in.

Trumpet playa

Annie&Mark!

These two are some of the best people I know. I think everyone who knows them agrees. Best wishes guys! Here are a few of my favs from the big day.











Sorry for the dry spell in posts. I'm super backlogged and busy as can be, for now at least!

McCarren Park

I love hanging out at McCarren Park. It's the closest park with a real dog run in it (yet still 7 stops from home), there is an awesome food stand offering delicious sandwiches and snacks outside (definitely not your eveyday hot dog stand), plus everyone is cool and loves to chat about typical pet owner issues, and there are always adorable dogs everywhere! I could sit all day long and watch puppies play.

Yuengling, a 12 week old boxer pup, keeps a close eye on the goings on at the dog run. He's the cutest thing since sliced bread and Simone.

First image was shot for Radhika Photography.

I have no idea what to title this post because these images are entirely unrelated to each other.

Upstate Wedding

Liz and Justin, shot for the fabulous Kate Leigh this past weekend in White Plains, NY.

Simone (not my dog, in case anyone was confused... I know I was) gracefully addresses a cab driver.



Swanky rooftop bar double fisting.

Ivana XL

Spent the afternoon with the very talented and beautiful Ivana. Thanks for letting me photograph you, Ivana!

Listen to her music! Shes got a soft quirkyness about her music that is perfect for cuddling up with a good book or whatever you might be doing in this this lovely fall weather.

Oh and extraspecialhuge thanks to Jordan for all the brainstorming/support during and after the shoot. That boy knows how to edit.

Asleep on the job

Subway teller, somewhere along the M train.

NYC Fireman 9/11/09

At Zablozki's Bar in Williamsburg.

Fashions Night Out

Fashion Week is in full swing here in NYC. Let the free drinks and name dropping begin!

Weekend roamings

Visited the Bronx Zoo.



Walked through a Brazilian celebration.



Impromptu photo sesh.



Had a nightmare about this bug a couple weeks ago.



It's a tough life for a city dog.

First NY wedding

Early mornings mean nice light and lots o' coffee.

Rockaway Beach

Company of Thieves

At Mercury Lounge, NYC. Genevieve Schatz, the lead singer, is so adorable. Like a cupcake. A cupcake that can rock hard and belt it out like nobody's business. I never would have pinned them for being the moody background music during Gossip Girl, but I guess thats whats gathered them lots of attention, 'specially from the ever lucrative teen market. Check 'em out.

Early this week

Ate bagels in Chelsea.



Walked Simone on the JGMZ route.



Listened to Regina. I've had her new album on repeat for a month and still can't get enough.

NYC has hippies too!

Austin, you aren't the only town that's keeping it weird. This moment brought me back to my nostalgic ACL festival days and made me a tinge sad that I'll be missing it this year after a solid 4 years in a row. Just a tiny bit though-- I won't miss that heat and dust that has become so synonymous with the early October weekend.

Anyway, this chic was getting excited about Yeasayers at Pier 54 on the Hudson. And who could blame her? They rock.

Day of exploring

Thanks Natty for the delicious waffle party! Loved meeting her fellow FADER interns Samantha (who makes beautiful jewelry right outta her home! Check the link) and Cassi, pictured below in B&W.





After filling our bellies with waffles and nutella, we headed off to a day of fun in the city and encountered some particularly excited Dominicans on the train. We had apparently missed the parade, but they were super fun to hang out with on the train.









Sleepy on the way home.
