sap'n.

God these two are gorgeous.

knits.

Yesterday we did a shoot for Christina's knits. We were attempting to emulate fashion blogs like the Satorialist. I think we did a pretty good job. I am very happy with how they came out. Thanks to our lovely models Lauren, Lauren, Nick, Christine, Mitch, Faith, Christina and Regina.

seafair.

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Seafair 2K9 was a complete success. We even had a few virgins with us...Alexa, Regina, Kyle, Chris, Chris and Jake. Thanks to our Captain.

seattle.

There she is.

claes oldenburg.

I went to the Claes Oldenburg show at the Whitney and then a few days later I got to go to Pepsico's sculpture garden and was able to see Oldenburg's Trowel II. The show at the Whitney exhibited mostly his soft sculptures, music series, drawings and videos from 'the happenings'. It was a good show, but seeing the trowel in person, on site was much more impressive.

frying pan.

One of my most favorite bars in new york is actually a ship called the Frying Pan (26th street and the Hudson). The boat had been shipwrecked, but they resurrected it and turned it into a bar/restaurant on the river. The ship is attached to a barge and a tug boat. The vessel is always empty and completely open for exploring. It is beautiful and perfect for a photo shoot. Chris and I shot there a month or so ago, but we really need a model...hopefully Kyle will pose for us. (ps the image of the room is a really shitty photo but you get the point.)

central park.

I finally went on the row boats in central park. Although I did not do any of the rowing, that was Michael's job...I enjoyed the view. And there were turtles.

francis bacon.

The Francis Bacon exhibit at the Met is possibly one of the best exhibit's I have ever seen. Not only do I love the work, but the way the show was composed made the work that much better. The work was arranged in such a way that it told his story. Each room and each work had a blurb describing what was going on in his life at the time and how his work reflected his state of mind. Bacon used photographs as his inspiration, often using prints as stencils for his paintings. One of my favorite parts of the show was the room exhibiting a collection of the prints his used over and over again. Silver prints covered in paint, cut up, torn, destroyed...they were works of art in themselves. The show ends on August 16th.

my apartment.

My apartment is literally a closet. But I have made it my own.

coney island.

Zoe, Amanda, Austin and I ventured out to Coney Island a few weeks ago. It was exactly what I imagined it to be. Busy boardwalk, dirty beach, old school carnival rides and hot dogs, obviously. But the one thing that really surprised me was the sideshow. When we walked in, I expected some cheesy, amateur show but I was impressed. It was a for real freak show. So...if you ever find your self at Coney Island, spend $7.50 to see the freak show.

sabrina.

I went to one of Sabrina Ward Harrison's workshops in Brooklyn a few months ago. We had such a lovely time writing under a tree in the park and then painting on her roof. I ended up staying after the workshop finished and we played on the roof, throwing balloons and confetti to the little boys playing in the street below. It was magical - running around, laughing and making art.
