rainbow from last night's rainy walk home, on meserole and leonard st.

fingers crossed that my prints are perfect tomorrow.
because, there's no time for them not to be.

a cedez cinco fantastico

when ms singleton dropped by yesterday to preview the final edit of the books. she surprised and delighted me with this teeny tiny perfectly jaunty sombrero just all casual-like.
i happen to know that this treasure was found for her gato in new mex last year.. it's always good to be able to borrow from your roomates:)
her topper made the studio a lot more jangly+festive in a flash.
major groovy.

we didn't stop moving until her feet touched the sky.

please see here for the facebook invite.
hope you can make it.

rough draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you endlessly to my beautiful and talented new friend, miss chrissie abbott, for designing such a radical flyer! and thank you to the stunners at COURT for making all this possible!
(+to suze for lending her ass to all kinds of promotion!)

resizing, reviewing, recalling my days away..

but i'm nearly there.

another very busy day at the office.

i updated all the photography folders on my website for the first time in YEARS.

SEE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and please forgive some of the photoshopping, i'm still learning)

the dandelions reminded me to think of you.

working on a submission for hey hot shots!
in doing some research on past winners i discovered these two images by matthew tischler. they make me glad.

been listening to a lot of '90's hip hop, i get around.

haven't done a global screen grab in awhile..besos to all my new australian+spanish viewers+whoever you are in romania.

miss rachel had a stupendous birthday party, with a sweet theme, as usual: dress in one color ..which was so righteous+fotogenic, we all have decided should probably happen once a month, or until we run out of monochromatic options. there was wacky sting+balloons+color coded food+a lolli garden installation (which i would like to re-shoot cause the polaroids didn't do it justice)..
also i found out that papabubble might maybe host the afterparty for the COURT show?!?! (fingers crossed+i'll keep you posted).

bed stuy on high.

first barBq of the season was fittingly on tom mylan's roof. you may be familiar with his work. he's the famous butcher of brooklyn and part of the marlow posse.

(serious apologies from the crappy quality of these polaroids, xabi took his laptop to spain+i don't have the scanner software on mine..)

we were caught up in some magic and couldn't make it back until fridy.

we did everything there was to do..made the train, hit an orchard, seriously nailed it at the thrift stores (might have to do a post about that later), lunch with dad, drinks with a high school bestE, mad luck with radical radio play, drove around with the top down, stayed up later than intended, indulged in whiskey tumblers+slid across the floor in our socks, listened to crickets, found petticoats+basically all dreams fulfilled.

i mean, honestly, who wants to be wishyEwashE this time of year.
