The weather in New York City has been teasing me…getting hot one day and then cold the next. That seems to be the way my life has been going lately….hot then cold. You know that tingly feeling you get when you are washing your hands in warmer water and then it suddenly changes to freezing…that shock? Or when it’s beautiful and hot out and the water looks so inviting, until you get in, and it’s freezing.
That’s it. That’s what this feels like.
I don’t even know where to begin! May has been the craziest month so far for me and it’s not even half way over! I’ve been shooting constantly and staying busy with learning new retouching tips from my co-shooters at the studio. I have so many photos to post on here to keep you guys up to date with all the places I’ve been! First though, I must express how utterly excited I am to celebrate my birthday in just a week and how happy I am that two of my favorite people from Louisville will be here in the city to celebrate with me! I have been saving a Betsy Johnson dress just for this occasion, so be sure to check back for the millions of photos I will take of myself actually haha…to show off my party dress. 
In the meantime, let me start of saying I finally had time to re-touch the fabulous Furturistic Light Painting shots I did with Valissa Yoe a couple weeks back. Here are my favorites I wanted to share…
Last week I got asked by a friend of a friend to shoot their lingerie store opening, Pink Slip, in Grand Central Station. The party was a blast and I got some free lingerie out of the deal. Here are a couple shots from the party…
Two weekends ago I also shot the Stricola Gallery Opening again, this time the show was called Wild Things, and all about animals! And even better, it was all photographs of animals! It was a blast!
Some of my good friends (The Canon Logic) played a show the same night I shot the gallery opening so I snapped a couple live shots of them. They’re such a great time….
The Flashing Lights kids had another party this past weekend…a LOFT party at that in Brooklyn! MRI showed up and did our PhotoBooth again, and got some amazing shots like always! The most fun about shooting this party is seeing everyone’s expression when they see the result of the photo. It’s really hilarious. There was a great turn out this past week and everyone had such creative ideas (like puking ha)! You can also see them on our Flickr!
Whew! I think that catches me up to speed with what I’ve been shooting that past week or two. I’m stilllll working on getting my Holga shots back from Hawaii. I should have them together soon…I promise!
Now, it’s back to more shooting and planting an urban fire-escape garden this weekend! Yay!
Today starts my Birthday Month!!! I’m pretty excited about it this year! After a brutal winter, I can’t wait for May flowers and for out door cafes! Things are on the up and up!
I got to go back to Louisville last weekend and visit with my mom and dad and brother and do some pre-celebrating of my birthday as well as spend time in the park with my best friend Jae and a night with my boys and their ladies play games. The weather was perfect and home was nothing less than wonderful. While home, I had the opportunity to take some photos of my childhood friend, Megan and her husband Patrick. They dressed back up in their wedding gear and we went to the place of their wedding to get some classic shots of a classic couple.
Tonight I kick off my bday month with VIP entry to a Get Up Kids Reunion show and tomorrow I’ve planned a last minute Derby Party! Stick around for some highlights!
