$$$$!

Financial district

Wide angle lens...you came just in time.

The boys after work:

The past 48 hours have been difficult/amazing.

Two different projects.

This one and a super undercover one to be revealed at a later date.

And step one of a third project to be revealed at a much much much later date.

I am in love with this week.

I'm the Rumpelstiltskin

Of blogging.

I haven't updated this badboy in forever because, well...um

I really haven't been shooting as much.

This winter was kinda hideous.

Oddly enough spring wasn't too pretty either.

But for my Birthday I got a Nikon D90

and things are looking up.

I'm trying to get into more portrait work, get my website up and running and be more social. (and by "more social" i mean: less anti-social)

And bee-tee-dubbles:

I totally spelled Rumpelstiltskin right on the first try.

It's the small victories in life isn't it?

Ps. yes this is dated March instead of May because I used a draft blog I had started back then because I am lazy and not entirely in it to win it today.

Strangest

two weeks

E V E R.

So in my various activities, I found myself 35 stories up on a rooftop.

Petrified.

(hey there childhood fear of heights long time no see!)

Exhausted.

(note to self: you like sleep. you are no longer 19. staying out all night is tiring.)

Staring at my favorite building in Ny.

(only chumps don't click to enlarge)

Sounds trite, but this exact picture has lived in my head for years.

I just never had the vantage point to take it from.

<3

So busy

Well honestly, I don't know if I'm busy or if it's just my brain that is.
Regardless, I am overwhelmed.

But sort of in a good way.

We went into Brooklyn last night.

I got screamed at by a cyclist for this shot.
Apparently being 4 inches into a 6 foot wide bike lane is grounds for rage.

Who knew?!


*Btw my pageload/stat logger effed up.
Now I can't counter-stalk the person who blog-stalks me.
Lame.

Edit: i've decided i like this one better.



Edit edit: so this looks insanely bright on my laptop monitor but not on my desktop. the 1st one looks perfect here but people say it's too dark. so dont judge me. i dont know whose monitors are accurate. *angry noises*

This is

Every picture Tom takes of me (when I let him hold the camera).

*scroll past this nonsense for actual photos*

I just thought I'd share his brilliant talent, if only to make you appreciate my photos a touch more in contrast.

"Hey Meg, compared to that guy who sucks, you're AMAZING!".

Oh I know I'm amazing...compared to that guy who sucks.

And now we can all mock me for being nearly the same shade of white as my dress.

Let's all do that.

Or not.

(I don't even know who "we" is...)


Anywhooooo...

Here is Chinese Virgin Mary and Chinese Baby Jesus
(as seen in Chinatown.)

Click to enlarge or reawaken the dead igniting a zombie world war of sorts.

Poor baby Jesus and his mitten shaped hand. Bet he got a lot of flack for that.


Later...

We went to Washington Square Park. (which despite the appearance of the photos, was paaaaaaaaacked)

And while we sat on the new benches, listened to a group of street musician's play "On Broadway", and watched a guy ride a unicycle with a tourist on his shoulders,

I looked at Tom and said:

"We're really lucky we live here."

Today While Leaving

Color Me Mine in Manhattan, Thomas spazzed and took us into Brooklyn.

We do not live in Brooklyn.

But while heading home on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, I saw the tip of the top of a ferris wheel.

Me: OH MY GOD A CARNIVAL!

(I am easily excited and a loud mouth.)

It's been done a million times before:

but not by me.

Click to enlarge or risk ring worm infection. FACT.

Today was lovely.

I haven't been to a carnival in forever.

My feet hurt.

But it's always nice to finally take pictures you've intended to for forever.

I've been MIA

Winter, being too busy and wisdom teeth surgery=no photos.

Thank God, that's all over and done with. So to celebrate I went to my favorite place on the planet: The Cloisters, in The Bronx.

Go there before you die or you fail. =)

(sidenote...my photo software isn't working so I couldn't fix up any of these on this laptop =/ the only thing i could do was resize them using MSpaint...LAME. So here's only a handful of them.)







Best day ever. But seriously...Europeans...I thought it was just a myth...but OMGEWYOUSMELLGOHOME.

I almost got arrested for these pictures...

...Not really but I did get asked to leave by some law enforcement-type entity for having a tripod in a nontripod environment...or something like that.

All I know is a mean man in a hat scolded me.

Late Last Night...

...I played 'Tourist'.

Click to enlarge.

It wasn't as crowded as it looks.

My first time at Rockerfeller Center since I was 10 or so.

8 seconds on a random street as a bus passed by.

The Museum of Natural History.

Sunday night at midnight the city is so quiet.

Sometimes, when someone has been raised here, you become immune to the sights some people will only ever see on TV or in movies, and you feel an urge to appreciate the city the way a visitor would.

Just because you have the luxury of doing so at whim.

...

A handful of black and whites.

A bridge...maybe in Maryland? I have no clue *shame*

The Bronx

Randall's Island Lighthouse

Triboro Bridge, Astoria Park

Right in my neighborhood^^
Lucky me, no?
Yes.

& After the weekend I've had...I'm shocked I had the gusto to post at all. =)

Yawn

So I have nothing oh-so-earth shattering to say...or any new idea to show off...as my brain is t i r e d.

But I will just roll with my previous post and post a few pics of Ny's lights at night and the various ways I've shot them =)

Click to magnify.

Five second exposure from the windshield of a moving car on the West Side Highway.

30 seconds at Long Island City's piers

uuum I don't remember how long....in Times Square.

I really really <3 it here.

Blogging A Go Go

...Everything sounds better with "A Go Go" after it.

Everything.

This is one of the few concrete, inarguable, laws of life.

...So as though I don't have a zillion projects going at once, I decided to start a blog.

This will be where my various endeavours and interests occasionally land, or quite possibly, it will serve as another excuse for my lack of focus.

Speaking of lack of focus (oooOOOh smooth segueway)...

...New York City traffic tonight (in Midtown and going over the 59th St. Bridge)...presented as abstractly as my new digi cam's manual focus allows...




sigh. I <3 it here.
