I am really about to pull my hair out from getting city stir crazy. It's really pretty depressing this time. My passport has even expired. I have been really poor being in design school for the last three years and now on a designer's salary, it doesn't get much easier to splurge on world travel.
Thank heavens to my wonderful friends with a truck - Suzanne and Sam. Whether it's a simple drive up to Greenpoint or a little further, up the Hudson, I love a chance to get outside of normal life with them.
Here is a custom card that Suzanne made me for my birthday. She hand stitches them. I love this card because she made it, and also because it is a testament to our wonderful day at Storm King...

signs of life

If there's ever something missing in a room for color or vibrance, it's usually plants and books.
It is not a coincidence that they are also both indicators of human vitality and natural life in a room.

Positano

I need a vacation. Traveling back to Positano would be nice. The nostalgic feeling I have for this place makes my stomach queezy.

Joel Sternfeld

I was browsing the website of the art gallery, Luhring Augustine, and came upon their photographer, Joel Sternberg. I find him to be completely amazing. His images depicted a person who is curious about and moved by both the natural environment and society. The images strike a mood where justice, peace, tragedy, hope and horror coexist and find balance.

Below are some examples from his series called, High Line. These pictures were taken between 2000 and 2001, before the High Line was changed into what it looks like today. (photos from Luhring Augustine)
