Wow it’s been almost four years since I published my last blog post. I started this blog 10 years ago, when I was 19 years young, but now that I’m on the edge of 30, I feel like it’s my duty to recommit myself to my expression in this space. Too often I get swept up in the instagram tide and think that it’s the only avenue of expressing myself, my art, my story. There are many avenues of expression and this is one cruising lane that always reconnects me with my inner child. That wide eyed romantic that taped pictures all over her bedroom walls and devoted herself to film photography blogs.
So in honor of her, and the 19-year-old that started this blog and said she’ll “do [her] best not to make it a tumblr; or, even worse, forget about posting” (pulled from my about me page), this year I’m recommitting myself to publishing more entries of my expression. And when better to (re)start than now, the night before I take the 6am flight to New York City. Here’s a fun look back at my last two trips to New York City, captured on film using my LOMO L-CA.
My husband and I said farewell to an apartment that’s been in his family since the 1950s.
One night, I passed the time waiting for the subway by light painting, and then I followed Michael and Benji up the stairway into their family apartment.
We took some groovy double exposures.
Various landscapes.
And captured special moments with family and friends before, during and after feasting.
“I’ll say goodbye to all my sorrows and by tomorrow, I’ll be on my way….”
