amazing.
seriously.

+really i have to especially thank aunt diane+ pamela for forwarding the jpeg i'd been wanting for months!! so jazzed.

(p.s. i'd been trying to cut his hair for YEARS..but as it turns out i needed a corporation budget to make it happen..c'est la vie.)

sometimes we wished we lived in the projects..

they have the most killer pool, which we wanted to jump in on that mega hot day last week...perhaps we'll just loiter around all summer+hope elliot makes some friends who want to invite us in..
see the rest of the pictures at rachel's blog, frivolous fawn.

collective crystals opens manana*

our dear old college santa fe crew is at it again..

collaborative crystals looks to be an outstanding display/installation of edible art put together by the epically talented (+fellow csf-er) miss erica browne, in collaboration with the papabubble kids, mercedez singleton, +many other contributors..
also on view is a (magic mushroom friendly) time-lapse video documenting the growth magic by parker chehak..

so come on back to papabubble (380 broome st) and get mystical.

tripping the light fantastic

my thames gals were part of the "we are all photographers now" exhibit at NYPH'09..a great project based around what i like to call the democracy of imagery, put together by the curator william a. ewing, the director at musée de l'elysee, lausanne.

+as always a nice navy platform is always right for me..(+the first time i've coveted anything from juicy in like 6 years)
