Is That Your Natural Color?

I am being rushed to post as we are headed to the world largest short film festival for the day in just a few moments! But I wanted to get some pictures up since I haven't in a while! So in short summary:

• I have been spending a lot of time in Brooklyn, it is much more chill than this crazy island and that's where the cool kids are.
• Last weekend on my hunt for fathers day letters, Morgan and I stumbled across an art/music/food street festival. There was grass rolled out on the street and artists creating crazy spray paint murals. There was also a concert sponsored by converse!
• I died my hair red. Why? Because I can and it looks awesome.
• My friend asked me to help her with a photo shoot for the company she works for and the last photos are some of the result of that.

So that's a tiny little recap for ya! Everything is going good, my work isn't too shabby and I started the process for volunteering with Dress for Success! All is well over on this tiny part of the world and I will post pictures from today's festival later on!

Live From New York....

IT'S FATHERS DAY!!!

And since I have the greatest dad in the world who helps me pursue my dreams, who taught me at a young age to color in one direction making my crayola masterpieces more advanced (this is the truth, I have a vivid memory and find it very beneficial to my creative growth that he did that for me), and who gives arms and legs to make sure I can experience and have everything I could ever want... It is obvious that I must show my appreciation for him with a  NYC style photo letter collage! 

  I love you Carl and think you are the bombdiggity! Thank You for all you do for me!!

Oh! And Happy Fathers Day to all the other great daddios out there! 

That's Him! There! On the Right!!

I asked my lovely brother to assist in sending me pictures of my dad and I for this awesome Fathers Day post and this is what I get... He's a doll. But at least Carl looks good!

THE MOST IMPORTANT

A Life Lived for Art is Never A Life Wasted

I'm not feeling very talkative. 

 Red Hook art show we stumbled upon a few days ago.

  It was at an old warehouse on the water. 

 And some of Morgans friends from Manchester just arrived to the states for the summer. 

So they stayed with us for a few days.

You Forget to Look Up

I have been in New York for three weeks now and it has been quite the experience! I am enjoying the work I am doing at BASLER and cruising along on a revelating journey! (Further information pending)

On Wednesday Morgan and I attended a "How to Be a Kick-ass Intern" gathering in the Riverside park area and it was quite entertaining! It was technically for interns that belonged to certain intern chapters across the country and were now working for a magazine in the city. I met neither of the qualifications but went anyway and spent the evening as a Marie Claire poser intern. Definitely worth it! Met many lovely people with great connections and even made a friend or two. Success. 

On Thursday we cooked a cheap pasta dinner and drank equally as cheap wine which is exactly how I imagined my 20's being. So I am happy I am living up to that expectation and it must be documented!

 So, we did in fact make two friends from the intern soiree and they accepted an invite for cocktails at the Fat Cat Music Hall! (by invite I mean text message and by cocktails I mean $3 PBRs)

 One of the first conversations Ian:, intern friend, started with me was "Have you ever noticed that the look on Benjamin Franklin's face on the $100 bill is like someone just stole his parking spot?" Genius. I must share that with the world. Hilarious! Anyways, when we arrived at the Fat Cat we were in such luck as the Gospel Queens of Brooklyn were the musical entertainment for the evening. None of the four queens younger than 60, accompanied by a rocker bass guitarist and drummer. It really doesn't get much better than that, quite an epic performance.

And today was a day at The Met to see the glorious Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit. It was absolutely fantastic. The fashion forward movement of not giving a s**t, wearing recycled goods, and making rebellious statements. Whats not to love? I was scolded in every room for taking photos,but it would've been just wrong to follow the rules in such an exhibit. So in fact,the weird camera angles of the exhibit photos are not due to my fantastic photographer's eye, I was just trying to be sneaky and snapping what I could.
