Eat up

Unless you're trying to watch your weight.

Then you certainly do not want to spend hours in a bakery hanging photos followed by celebrating someone's birthday and gorging yourself.

Astor Bakeshop, why you gotta be so awesome and so so local?

I'll never leave the block at this rate

An animal rescue opened across the street from me :O

The weather was junky so I didn't get to do any proper photos but took a snap shot of this girl to show my Mom

She's gorgeous but super shy, she's obviously gone through a lot, the poor thing.

Sweet as can be when she's confident though. I'd snatch her up if I could.

My Grandma

She moved. She has limited room so we all got to keep some of her things for her.

Here's the first 3 shots I've done.

The bunnies were really hard to get done and I'm not super fond of the results but still...

The background is a nightie of hers.

The teapot is a music box that plays "Tea for Two" when you pour.

Adorable limit: Exceeded.

Grandma's doll.

Her Mother, Emma's thimble on a book of fairy tales marked 1915:

I found out Little Red Riding Hood was originally called Little Golden Hood.

My Grandmother: Ladylike-Champion 1917-Current

Oh I lied

Here are three random pictures:

My bff Luis the last time I saw his dapper ass before he left NY =(

Oliver just doing what Oliver does: Being smug.

And this I did as desktop background. DL it if you feel so inclined and nerdy.

Now I want to play duck hunt...

No photos

In the meantime, look at Hubby's semi-new trick I taught him:

CUTEST DOGGIE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER

So

I am pretty much the worst blog poster ever.

But things. There are things to do. That need to be done. And I forget.

While I attempt to get my sh*t together:

Enjoy images of the cutest puppy in the history of ever.

Hubble.

We spent a month straight upstate.

Where Hubble pondered what happened to his life in Brooklyn and where his testicles went while looking over his new territory.

A few weeks ago

I was in VA again.

Didn't feel too well, so I didn't get much done.

But I met this doggy and his owner.

Loyalty to infinity.

He is super proud to show off his fetching abilities.

(click and enlarge to see the expression on his face or live knowing you've missed out on seeing the true meaning of 'pride'.)

I took a walk in the woods.

Then met this owl.

Took this picture.

And watched him fly away 45 seconds after.

The woman rehabbing him had no idea he could fly.

And he was all:

"Underestimate me?

Pfffffft.

I'll show you, lady."

I. was. SHOCKED.

Beyond shocked.

Flabbergasted.

Weather (not) Permitting

These:

But first!

This:

I know the most agreeable people ever.

(yes, the focus sucks and it will be reshot if/when I get some proper lights and glasses)

...

So I had this idea, seeeeee?

Actually, that's a lie. I have had no ideas.

None.

So I went straight to balloons because they're a wonderfully pretty copout.

"Hey I suck at this lately, but let me distract you from this fact with some magical, colorful, floating, latex orbs! OooOOoooh"

I did not take into account the fact that it was the windiest day in the history of air.

Enlarge this picture below, and giggle at how very concerned about these staying vertical I am, hence ruining the sole photo in which they achieved verticality.

Yes, I know "verticality" isn't a word.

Don't you sass me.

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.

Virginia

I was there.

Lots of new self portraits...

but only these two for now.

(click to enlarge

or the ghost,

that haunts the mansion these were taken in,

will bite you)

I'm too busy being homeless to edit the rest.

I didn't say it...

It did.

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

An open letter to my laptop

Hey Laptop,

I don't know what I did to you...

But the past 6 weeks or so of this:

"hey i'm going to work when you don't need me to!

And mysteriously stop working when you do need me to!!"

stuff is getting old.

Those 12,000 photos you're holding hostage?

I'd really love to have them back.

We can work this out.

...I hope.

Advice

With nutritious cursing added free of charge!
My brain hasn't been working lately and I've been sick. yay. -_-

But here, enjoy some advice I've been given over the years.

(click to enlarge because your vision isn't that good, Nana)

That last one, is the absolute most amazing piece of advice I've ever received.

no lie.

Pass it on.

Meeting Miles while being eaten alive

By mosquitoes.

Not by Miles.
(scroll down to see him. he's awesome)

Took these after I served Miles dinner.

click to enlarge or I will haunt your great-grandchildren. SERIOUSLY.

Then I finally ran into this gorgeous cat I keep seeing around the past few months and am in love with.

He is somewhat feral, but after I got him a plate of food, he hung out 4 feet from me.

Not too wild.

I have named him Miles.

I would like to get him off the streets.

Look at that face. How can you not love him?



...Upstate tomorrow for a few weeks.
Internet freeeeeeeee.

Commence Meltdown:

Now.

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*

So...uuuum....ow

I fell down the stairs.

Dislocated my left ankle and my right knee.

Graceful, I know.

So while I recover...here are 3 Ttvs from my time upstate.

Hooray being immobile.
