i really want to check out this exhibit. through december 26th here.

an early morning walk along the manhattan highline. 

I had the unique opportunity to check out the Food & Wine festival in NYC a couple weeks ago.  Above are a few shots of some of the food we ate, listed below with the accompanying restaurant.

my etsy shop is now open!  and it’s definitely a work in progress.  i took these photographs of tudor city in manhattan on a cold spring morning at sunrise.  while they were taken for a project at parsons, i always loved the warm tones and thought they would make nice greeting cards. they are currently being sold separately, but i’m open to selling them as a group as well.  please get in touch if you’re interested!  more to come…

in all honesty, i went for the fashion photographs, but i came away with so much more.

harper’s bazaar over the last decade - large-scale images by the likes of patrick demarchelier, solve sundsbo and karl lagerfeld. but the brand new exhibit at ICP also features a look at danish-american photographer peter sekaer and a retrospective on 9/11.  

sekear studied with berenice abbott and was friends with walker evans, and their influences are obvious. his documentary approach to new york city and new orleans in the 1930s and 40s is really a must-see.

downstairs at the exhibit titled, “remembering 9/11”, i was completely transported back to that day. photographs by eugene richards’ tug at my heart strings while excerpts from “here is new york” displayed dozens of different perspectives on the tragedy.

all in all, a beautiful set of photographs, and an incredibly moving experience.

above: karl lagerfeld/snehana onopka (2007), ralph gibson/back & sail (2005), peter sekaer/14th street/new orleans (1935-1945), eugene richards/stepping through the ashes (2001).

nearing the end of summer, a typical friday in washington square park, nyc. my bike, musicians, skateboarders and kids having a blast in the fountain. 

all photos taken with canon AE1, color film.
