Photo of the Day - Central Park

I'm still working on a homework assignment on color due Wednesday for the photo class I'm taking at School of Visual Arts. Unfortunately, I'm limited to how far I can travel during my lunchbreak to snap photos. This, of course, leads to many, many, many photos taken at Central Park. Just a few photos I took during lunch today on what turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous February day.

At the Met with Jette

This weekend was quite the busy, busy. On Saturday my dearest good friend Jette came to visit for a grand Upper East Side tour and what's a proper tour of the UES without a stop at the Met?
Unfortunately/Fortunately the weather was rather frightful...but it did make for some great Noir-inspired shots.

Photo of the Day: Brooklyn Bridge with Matt


During the summer, Matt and I embarked on several photo excursions,  the most ambitious/exhausting was our trip down to the Brooklyn Bridge at 3 a.m. 

Matt, being the jolly good sport that he always is helped me shoot the nearly empty bridge until the sun peaked out amongst the skyscrapers, fending off morning joggers and early bird tourists as I worked.  :-)

My hero...

My mother has always been my personal hero. A woman with strength and intelligence, she is both my inspiration and my confidant. She is also the person who first sparked my interest in photography.

Growing up with 5 brothers and sisters, my mother was quite the shutterbug as she documented countless family moments with her Canon. I dreamed of the day I could take photos as well as she could. She taught me composition and perspective and encouraged me to fully pursue my passion for photography.

This past fall, I flew home to both run my first marathon and take some photos of the beautiful fall colors in Grand Ledge, the small town just outside of Lansing where I went to high school. My mom and I spent the afternoon on a photography field trip taking photos at the Ledges.  It was such a great time spent with her. Below are a few of the photos she took of me out on our photo excursion.
