spring break adventures. part two.

can I just say, I absolutely love break.
continuing with one of our favorite spring break traditions we headed downtown for an afternoon.

once again, we ate amazing pizza bigger than our heads at d'Bronx.


left our mark "midnight in paris" style.


visited the terrific bookstore, Prospero's.



("the place squeals with potential. and so do you!")

and revisted the fun graffiti, sans bright flags.

did some browsing at the vintage shops on 39th. found this amazing, AMAZING jumpsuit.



tried on fancy hats, and I channeled my inner johnny depp a bit.



then headed up to the memorial arch. love this place




and finished it out with some boba tea in westport.


did I mention I got to shoot some film? good times.

want to see how we carried out the tradition last year? check it out here.

things that made my day.

some of the random and/or fantastic moments of the last month-ish.
it's been pretty fantastic.

23 march. late night drawing shenanigans. (technically the wee hours in the morning of the 24th)


from that point till it was painted over. harry potter on the kitchen wall.


2 april. playing with sparklers and painting with light. (for a class no less!)



22 march/5 april. holga adventures and fantastic memory making.


5 april. spending the afternoon in downtown OP with paul.


6 april. getting a wonderful/exciting/thoughtful package in the mail. more on this later, possibly.


7 april. watching the motorcycle diaries. just as enjoyable the second time.


10 april. spending some time with the lovely, ever amusing duo: kcor and vgil. the picture says it all.


moment uncaptured: watching old sherlock holmes during thunderstorms while drinking hot tea. perfection.

creative endeavors: holga edition.

in the last month I finally mustered up the courage to break out my holga and shoot with it. (I've had the camera for about a year now and have been to scared to use it haha) it was a tremendous amount of fun! I am completely hooked. sure it can't give me crystal clear images like my dslr, but instead it produces such unique and interesting images. I also think it pushes me to slow down and think about the composition/light/color and overall interest of each photo I take which is so good for me. with a digital camera I can take hundreds+ and sometimes I think I don't really pay as much attention with that ability. but enough talk, here are some of the photos!

our attempt at ghosting. kinda fun. =)
