It's Still Autumn


I like all the colors and texture in this shot.

House-rocking Party in the Village


Jess showing Dan some love...

Morning Bathrobes


How funny is this?!

Musical Stylings of Miss Natalie John



At the Rose Live Music in Brooklyn.

Natalie performing with The Christopher Complex and Optimus Funk.

Love Saves the Day


Enough said.

11.10.2009

Subway Boots


I really like this shot. I think it's the combination of all the parallel lines heading out of the shot and the shape her legs are creating.

City Reminders


Columbus Circle is one of those points that always reminds you live in the biggest city in the country and just how cool it is.

11.8.2009

Two New Lessons.


Alternate flash/lighting from another camera creates a softer light on the face.



Slow-shutter speed creates cool lighting effects.

Bathroom Lighting



Playing with low-lighting in the bathroom.

Zo-Zo


Saying cheese!

This is the new little girl I nanny for!

11.5.2009

Monkeytown!


One of the coolest venues I've been to in the city.

Musicians/the band in the round with couches surrounding and four walls of projector screens surrounding the couches.

The band, which was amazing, is Koren Ansambel.


Also, cool shot of a bottle of water and utensils!

Family of Five

Here Come the Bridesmaids!


Our reflection in the wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling mirrors!

From across the platform


Such beautiful colors!

Arty and Unclear


Welcome to November!

Short-Lived PiƱata



Best costume I've ever totally hand made. Too bad the rain ate it up in about an hour!


Still - awesome!

10.30.2009

St. Johns Place in Fall


The light leaves in black and white make it look like snow. (Too soon!!!!)

10.29.2009

Reunion with My Cuties!


I haven't seen these two in a few months, and it's crazy how much they have grown since then!

10.28.2009

Rug Store Decor


The nearby shops are getting ready for Halloween, and the skeleton on this store just looked so cool against the brightly colored rugs.

10.27.2009

Woody from Radiator Springs


Doesn't this car look like one out the Disney film Cars?

10.26.2009

Another Day in the Park



I clearly LOVE wandering Prospect Park and taking random photos along the way. I like the size discrepancy and how the lamp post seems to have a commanding role here.

10.25.2009

Natalie John Quartet


Sitting at this show, I had a "New York Moment." One of those times where it really hits you that you live in New York City.

10.24.2009

Free Dance Day at DNA

Friday Night, but No Lights


Meg delivered some great company.



The Olive Vine Cafe delivered some great food, although I don't have a picture of our food (but another one of Meg!)



North Carolina delivered some great musicians.

But in all of these places, there was little to no light, which makes taking good pictures difficult when you aren't using a flash or a tripod!

10.22.2009

A Step Back


It almost looks like this photo could be from another era. (I know the Sepia is mostly what makes it look like that!) The street, Ryan's look, him being slightly out of focus, all of this gives me a vibe of eras gone by.


10.21.2009

The colors, Duke, the colors!



Prospect Park is looking more and more beautiful everyday, with the changing of the leaves.

Capturing one capturing another.

Help Me Ronda!


I miss carving pumpkins in Ronda's garage.

10.18.2009

Meta-art?


I feel like this has to be meta-art or meta-photography, if those are even words.

I walk by this everyday on my walk to the B or Q train. And everyday, I say I'll take a picture, but don't. Well, I finally did, and it's interesting to have this picture of a collection of pictures taken at this exact spot. Bizarre, even.

Caricature of a New Yorker

This man sitting across from me on the subway just felt like a perfect New Yorker - on the subway reading his Sunday Times.

Now, if only he was drinking coffee, while talking on the phone, eating a bagel, and hopping in a cab all at the same time.


10.16.2009

For the religiously uninformed...

10.15.2009

Oh, am I interrupting?


Seeing these two little cupids' silhouettes made me feel like I was intruding on a private and personal moment!

"Fresh" Seafood photo taken by "photographer" Karen Hart.


This dingy boxes sitting out on the street definitely do not convey the idea of fresh.

10/11/2009 - 10/13/2009

These posts are posted under 10/4/2009 - 10/6/2009 with the dates corrected!

Scarf as Art


I realize some of the pictures on here are a bit lame. You'll have to excuse me for that. I'm trying to continuously take pictures for my digital photography class, and some days I only come up with duds. This one is ok, but nothing too exciting.

10/9/2009

All hail Bruno the Conqueror


I love this cat.

10/8/2009

On a Trip


I don't know if you can tell (because of the small nature of the pictures), but the sign says DRUGS. I was trying to get a steady image, but each one came out blurry.

Now, I like that it came out blurry. It's almost like the perspective of someone on drugs looking at the DRUGS sign.

Mirror of Erised


When looking at this picture I completely personify the guitar case. It is definitely looking in the mirror and seeing what it wants to be or what it wants to be near. I get a sense of longing - from a guitar case!

10/6/2009 - For Real!

Up Close & Personal


I don't think this brick and bit of moss mind me being all "up in their business."

However, I do think that the crevices of this rock look awesome - the shadows combined with the color combined with the texture.

10/5/2009 - For Real!

Self-Involved Much?


I normally wouldn't put pictures of myself up here, except that I have no other pictures from this day. Also, it looks kind of cool with the black and white and soft focus.

I'm liking it! Just not liking that it's of only me...

10/4/2009 - For Real!

Where exactly?


Up on the roof? Or inside that apartment? I'm not entirely sure where they would like everyone to publicly park their cars.

10/6/2009 - but actually 10/13/2009

EDIT: This should be October 13th, 2009! I dated my pictures incorrectly!

More apartment photos for Mom!


Couch we got for free/$20 because we had a friend with a truck pick it up for us, and we gave him $20 for his help!


Other couch and bookshelf in the living room.


My new bedroom! (Although this doesn't show all of it!)



10/5/2009 - but actually 10/12/2009

EDIT: This should be October 12th, 2009. I dated my pictures incorrectly!

Personalities captured


The closest we got all night to a roomie picture. Natalie and Jesse are in it, and I'm taking it. I do love both of their expressions though, as it captures both of them pretty accurately!
