Recently I went help my sister second shoot at a wedding over in the East Village. It took place at the new Cooper Square Hotel. The wedding was held at the courtyard while the reception was at the penthouse. If you have seen the new Cooper Square Hotel, you know that it is, currently, the tallest building in the East Village. The penthouse offered pretty much a 360 degree view of the city. I'm afraid of heights but for some reason I HAD to peak over and look at the bottom. *Shivers But being the tallest building means super great view. Check them out!
Photography
A Million Little Pictures
Few months ago I got a random link from my friend Scott to a photo project by Art House Co-op called "A Million Little Pictures." The idea was to have 1000 people from around the world register to get a disposable camera. Then the 1000 people from around the world will document their lives within 24 frames, send the prints back and in late September there will be an exhibition of all the photos.You walk by so many people everyday and there is no way you will get to meet every one of them. With photo projects like this, you're allowed to see 24 frames of the photographers. Thats pretty damn cool.
Here for 4 of the photos from my roll of film.
The High Line
Last month Steph wanted to go check out the High Line and so we went. A side note, after experiencing the Highline we went to a friend's Harry Potter movie viewing party. I brought canned sardines and bread. It's nice to actually see the evolution of the High Line from when I saw first it back in 2003 to now. The city definitely need more of these, improve on things and not tear them down to build ugly things.
There was a very long line when we got there. Felt like we were going on a popular ride in Disneyland.
It was cool to walk underneath the buildings.
So before they had cleaned up the High Line, there were wild flowers and grass growing. They decided to keep the wild flowers in the High Line, thought that was cool.

Sunadokei
Sunadokei (Hour Glass)It's funny how no one is trying to save the VHS from dying but there will always be support for film/polaroid and vinyl records. Somehow film makes the ordinary or imperfection, special. Maybe it's the vintage look. Here are some random shots I took while walking around Willamsburg and later ending up in a beer garden.
Current listen Sunadokei "I wish time would just pass like this With nothing changing I don't want to notice That everything's being tested, even my freedom
It surely comes to everyone, without exception Even if I entrust my body to the maze The disappearing scenery Taught me that We're side by side Make on break, make amends And then it's all gone "
