"Ara:Untitled"
Tom Harris
Tom was a professor of mine at AIS. I'm so grateful to see some more of his personal work.
His personal workshops were coveted in school and I never had the pleasure.
Congratulations! The show is gorgeous. And these images really called to me.
Hopefully one day we will all get to see his shots of Scotland :)

Below are more images from the show that I particularly loved.

"St. Petersburg"
Jeff Smith
The intricacy of this shadow-box framed image was entrancing.
It was one image layered for a 3D effect.

"Night Blooming Cereus #64"
Jennifer Spencer

"Spotted Flux"

"All-A-Flutler"

This bleached, toned, hand-colored print was the winner of the competition.
If you are in NYC in November check it out...definitely worth the time.
Okie dokie, time to sleep.

Thanksgiving Eve in NYC

The sunrise as I first saw it this morning. Made my heart sing.
I only ventured outside once today to pay homage to the images showing at the SOHO photo gallery where my professor and friend Tom Harris has work exhibited in the Alternative Process show. Those images are coming up next. Here are a couple shots from the sidewalk.

Literally from the sidewalk, this drip painted portrait is phenomenal.
I did a little google search and actually, he's kinda a big deal.
Paul Richard's Gibbous Moon 2009, attracted
a lot of attention being the first piece to sell
in the Acria Annual Charity Auction. It was
valued at $5,500 and sold immediately with
"Buy Now" option. Other popular pieces were
a lithograph by Jeff Koons and a Central Park photograph by Nan Goldin.
Tom Modern, author, who attended the event said of
Richard's piece " I remember when he
was selling those for $35."

And get this...Gerard Butler just bought Paul Richard's "Kai and Marcel" portrait for his new Chelsea NYC loft featured in Arch Digest...um, Chelsea is where I'm staying...I love the deep-colored textured walls. Gerard, where are you my love?

Bravo Paul Richard, wherever you are.
Hope you participated in a good walk today too.
Bisous.

The view from where I sit but better...

I'm sitting in my friend's sweet Manhattan apartment thinking "How am I ever going to afford this?" But talking with friends, sorting through the images from the last week and watching Remie chase the prisms on the walls, I'm so lucky just as life sits. I'll work on it and enjoy the little things along the way. Like images from Italy and ramblings of Iceland. Both coming to you from New York. Stay Tuned.


Remie.
And some Ingrid Michealson to put a smile on your face.


Do something for yourself today.
HUG. KISS.

New York is the place of opportunities...

I bought my ticket.
Paris to NYC via Iceland. I actually wasn't planning on buying my ticket last night. I was just scouting the prices and came across one so cheap that I had to buy it.
It's official. I'm flying out of Paris November 22nd.
In NYC I'm going to continue my scout with the eyes of a soon-to-be resident, meet up with some of my peeples and then head back to the Midwest to "get my poop in a group" as my offbeat father would say.
And now a little Ducksauce to get me pumped for the day.
