Chasing the Light

Brooklyn-based Zaria Forman  led an ambitious art expedition by sailing up the northwest coast of Greenland to retrace the 1869 journey of American painter William Bradford. Along the way she documented the changing arctic landscape which she would use for inspiration in several large soft pastel drawings seen above.

Snow Day

Friday was a work-from-home-and-look-at-six-inches-of-snow kind of day.  The window in my bedroom is the only window in my apartment that gets any form of legitimate sunlight, so I have to keep my one (sad and lonely) plant on the windowsill to give it some light.  The bright, snowy light cast some really nice light into the room.

*Photo actually taken by my sister, Laura, who was fiddling around with the camera. Good job, Laura!

Handmade Thank You Notes

I made some homemade collaged thank you notes for some of my family members who helped make this past birthday special.  

I wanted each card to be unique and have a different style/aesthetic to them.  Collages were made from assorted magazines.

Plus, who doesn’t love snail mail? I’m a huge proponent of actually hand-writing thank you notes.  It goes a lot farther than you might think. Send a thank you note this holiday season.  It won;t go unnoticed.

Eastern State Penitentiary | November 2, 2013

I recently bought a (slightly used, but in pristine condition) dSLR from my friend and coworker Erin.  I took my new camera out for a spin at the always-fun-to-explore Eastern State Penitentiary. I’m naturally drawn to this dramatic and beautiful old prison.
