To get me back into the New York groove of things, Jack and I took a trip downtown to Union Sq and then out to Coney Island. It was quite chilly so we didn’t spend too much time there. I’d like to go back there during the day and get some good shots of the construction. Here are my pictures, Jack’s should be coming soon!
I’m taking it easy today in preparation for the craziness that will more than likely ensue tonight.
Well, my 2008 was a spectacular one! I think the biggest highlight would have to be when I finally took a trip out to the West Coast; where I met Jack’s wonderful family, put my feet in the Pacific and hugged a redwood! I hope we get to take an even longer trip out there in ‘09!
To my lover, all my friends and family, and anyone who happens to stumble upon this little blog: have the happiest and most blessed new year! Love to all!
I took a long walk in the park today. And as I was, I thought about what I want to do with photography, I remembered what it was that I was doing before, and even what I like in photography.
The upside is that I am starting to formulate a more vivid vision of where I am going to go with this new camera and photography in general, the down side was the the pictures I had been taking began feeling more and more like snapshots. In my opinion that still seems like a pretty fair trade off.
Yesterday I spent an afternoon in B&H that was over two years in the making. I am up and running with a new canon system, and if you are in NY you will see me out and about shooting walls mostly.
The plan is to start a stock photography library of textures and patterns. I am excited about the idea of doing work once and being paid for it indefinitely. Because who wouldn’t want to do work once, work that returns with paychecks again and again and again.
Here are a couple of the shots I took today.
For the time being I will probably be doing an image of the day kind of thing at http://fffantastico.com/
The va-ca is going great! Above is my Yule Ball/ornament necklace (inspired by Kingdom of Style), which turned out fabulously and got tons of compliments.
Well, I’m off to my grandmother’s for family fun. So, for those of you that celebrate Christmas, have a merry one!! See you soon!
We leave for holiday fun today! I’m so frickin’ excited! I think there might still be some blogging before Christmas and the New Year, seeing as I will have my computer with me. But, just in case, I leave you with yet another (awesome!) video and wishing you a happy first day of winter, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years (or whatever else I might be forgetting)!
P.S. And for more (and some geeky) festive fun check out A Very Special Scifi Holiday Collection presented by Io9! Featuring, MST3K, X-Files, Batman, Futurama and much more!
It’s been a while, huh? Well, this little hiatus, actually isn’t quiet over, yet. I’m almost finished with my presents, with two more to go. But, I did want to quickly post a few picture taken from when the ‘rents were in town. The weather could have been better, but we made the most of it and had a fabulous time!
