A Picture A Day, Or the Coldest Day of the Year

Let's put the coldest day of the year behind us. The temperature today went down to about -13C, which felt like -20C + the humidity. I snapped this shot on my way to work around 9:10 AM. I love how taking pictures of the same subject matter on different days reflects brand new moments.

A Picture A Day + Happy New Year 2014!

Happy New Year 2014, everyone! Hope it brings only happy joyful things to you!

So, I have been taking these pictures of the Empire State Building almost every day for the past three months now, and I have been meaning to share them here with you. Here is my first one for you. It was taken today, around 9:00 in the morning:

Simply Flowers

Helping Rhea Calpeno of Photosynthesis is always a delight. This past Saturday I was lucky to be part of her floral design collective, working alongside wonderful creative people. The preparations were made for two different weddings, and as the gorgeous floral arrangements were leaving the studio to go to their destinations, I snapped some photos of leftover flowers. Simple, beautiful, breathtaking.

Friday Art: First Friday

I cannot recall the name of this gallery, but there was something enchanting about its beautiful old space. As we walked thought the second floor, a group of musicians downstairs began playing a classical piece. We stood listening, watching over the balustrade of the atrium, fascinated by the magic melody, mesmerized by the whole experience.

These cool posters by an unknown artist were for grabs.

The Leaf Woman by Jordan Bruner was part of the amazing Animal Dance show installed by talented Bruner family at the Metro Space Gallery.

Anthropologie Fall Fashion Show

This year's Anthropologie Fall Fashion Show was filled with interesting faces. I found myself being extremely comfortable amongst people that share similar interests in style, level of detail & shopping experience.
The food was on par with the fashion. Delicious, sophisticated & beautifully presented.
I wish events like this happened more often...
