Up on the Roof

Ok, so I couldn't resist some rooftop shots. There is just something about a Brooklyn night.
PJ Harvey says it better than I can:

On a rooftop in Brooklyn
At one in the morning
Watching the lights flash
In Manhattan
I see five bridges
The Empire State Building
And you said something
That I've never forgotten

We lean against railings
Describing the colours
And the smells of our homelands
Acting like lovers
How did we get here?
To this point of living?
I held my breath
And you said something

The 4th

The 4th was unexpected and fun. We thought we would not be able to see any fireworks this year from our rooftop, since they were setting them off at the Hudson this year, but we had an amazing view. It was a magical night with the moon out, friends, beer, and incredible food thanks to my buds who can cook like nobodies business.

I have been really bad about posting the past few months, but I have just gotten back from traveling, first to Texas and then the Outer Banks of NC. Keep coming back, I promise pictures shortly.

Tableau Vivant of the Delirium Constructions

This past Saturday, the wonderful photographer, Sarah Small, invited me to photograph her nudes and cocktails birthday extravaganza, Tableau Vivant of the Delirium Constructions, held at Jewel Street Studios .

It was a party to remember, and I had a blast. Many of Sarah's prints hung on a wall overlooking the party, which looked beautiful, printed by the talented April Renae, of Dogleaf Studios.

As you can see above, there were incredible models, who not only satiated our voyeuristic cravings, but put on an amazing performance. They descended from the stairs about half way through the party, and took stage to hold poses where beautiful dynamics were frozen in time. Sarah then walked through and talked to the models, they would come to life and their interactions would change, and they would re-freeze.

It was art, theater, and fun.

Philly Revisited

So I went back to Philly shortly after my first visit to house sit. Thanks Mona and Val! It was beautiful, and Rebecca came out to hang out with me..which had fun and delicious results. We made yummy breakfast crepes with goat cheese and chives, and then we went to the science museum to enjoy the planetarium, pictured above. Not to mention amazing sunsets and ice floes.

Punching Face

My friend Katie Deacon took me to her friends' Ari and Ian's boxing match at Gleason's Gym a while back. I am finally catching up on my web postings....Unfortunately we only caught the last two rounds, but it was a good fight: it was a tie. Gleason's ripped us off a bit at $20 for the last 5 minutes of the fight, but it was my first live match.

Philly

My friend and amazing artist Gillian (http://www.gillianswilson.blogspot.com) and I took a short getaway to her hometown of Philly. Cheap but yummy Chinese, Mutter Musuem...all sorts of medical oddities, sushi, swimming, sauna, movies, amazing view, night walks. In 29 hours. Wow, a girl can't complain.

lets go dancing

Pulled these out of my archive, I think it may be my not so subconscious telling me to go dance. Or telling you to go dance....
