East Village Fly Street Art Exhibition: On Display ALWAYS

Trade in that museum pass and come get inspired on the streets. Art is all around us, along with the artists that make it. By the time this post is up, these pieces will have a whole new meaning to them.

Magic happens every time J and I whip out the camera. Whether it's with my cheapo camera phone or my proper Canon SLR, our chemistry is magnetic. Here's what happened on a whim just last night!

Bella come il sole.

In honor of my precious niece Addison Bella, I ventured back to good 'ol Apple Valley Minnesota to celebrate her very FIRST Birthday.

La Gringa

I thrive on making memories. I want to remember the way the sun felt on my skin, the sounds that will continue to ring in my ears afterward. I love the immediate associations that fill my head the second one of these senses is triggered. I even cherish the feeling of sadness knowing that that exact moment may never happen again. I moved away from home eight years ago and have since strived to make a new path for myself. I live to travel. Every nickel is saved to be spent as foreign currency, and I constantly find myself in the most remarkable situations in the middle of remote places. It feels as though it’s my duty to document these spaces and share my experiences with others. By putting myself in the photograph I feel that the space becomes my own, and I then have a documented moment that I can look back on later and use to inspire my memories.

My current obsession.

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and family member(s)

Mutha Magoo & Papa Bear

Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book

This was a difficult one for me. I don’t think I have one single favorite book yet. Being so young, I feel that I have yet a lot of great writings to read. But for the moment, the book The Prophet has been the focus of my obsession. Specifically this quote which I had tatooed on my arm.

L’anima si schiude come un fiore di loto daglie innumerevoli petali.

The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countess petals.

4. My friends mean the world to me
5. Caffé doppio macchiato, one sugar
6. My most memorable childhood memory is dancing with my father to the oldies station in our living room
7. I could eat a whole watermelon. I’ve never tried, but I bet I could.
8. I believe each of us has the ability to change the world
9. My favorite painter is Degas
10. I love my life.

A photograph is like the recipe - a memory the finished dish.

The Sky & I

While shooting an event for Choice Productions on the Tribeca Rooftop I stole a moment for myself to capture these self-portraits. 

Miami

The glamourous life of Miami. Dressed in white, bleach blonde hair, 4 inch wedges, plastic surgery, poolside wait service never letting your glass reach empty, dj's spinning your favorite songs all day and night. I was a different breed soaking in the sun muratti in hand, however one can always appreciate the fabulous, and a damn good party. Happy New Year! Miami Style.
