happy morning from nyc...

The Sea

When you have 50 ponies stuffed in your closet....

My sister is getting married this month and her husband Steven is going to move into her house sometime soon....and I'm thinking he might want to tone down the my sister's Briar collection that lines the shelves above the widows that wrap around their living room. I like a little horse figurine here and there, but when you sit on the living room couch there are literally about 100 horse eyes looking down at you. I think she might miss them if she closeted them away where they would be forgotten, soooooo.....we did a little shoot of her and her lifetime collection of ponies and I'll give her a nice print hang in the living room. Here's a peek at a couple frames...

Walter Martin + Paloma Munoz

My mom has a little snow globe collection and I can remember playing with them for hours when I was little. About 10 years ago I was wondering through Grand Central Station and I saw these amazing pictures of snow globe scenes...very odd scenes, yet beautiful. And it has bugged me from time to time whenever I see a snow globe that I had no idea who these artist were so I could look at their work again. Well I found them!
Go here to see an extensive collection of their amazing work.

Photography Duo : Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

They shot Kate Moss's summer line for Topshop and I'm loving the softness of the colors and whatever they did the get this blurred shadow effect is really quite cool.

I searched under wedding dresses on Etsy (for you Marjan) and this designers site popped up. I didn't see a wedding dress but I liked everything else I saw...including the photography. I really enjot the warm faded sunlight of this image. Find it here:

Just a wee blurb about Blurb...

I Love Love Love Blurb. Finally a way to make good quality books relatively cheaply and the layout is so easy to follow to make one. This will be a great tool to provide clients with books from out photo shoots. Here's a little book that I made for our family out of our vacation to Ogunquit Maine. Follow this link to see the first 15 pages of the book:
