Forecast says SNOW.

and if the weatherman is wrong, we can always ask Heidi Neilson to sprinkle the city—she's an expert in fake snow.

I like it when it snows in Manhattan.

some nights

I just don't feel like blogging.

yummy olive oil.

A fellow Greek over at Lea's Suitcase posted about her visit to an olive oil factory. I've always wondered how oil was squeezed out of a little olive—I imagine an old chubby yiayia rolling droplets of oil out of each and every olive. Not quite. 

Check out Lea's photos of the process so next time you soak up the goodness in a warm piece of bread, you'll know what those olives went through...

 And you'd be surprised to find out what happens with all the pits!

Ashley & I

Wow, do we have lots of photos of us together from over the years! Here are some old ones in Polaroid form...

postcards from the edge

Friday after work, a group of us walked west to the CRG Gallery hosting the benefit for Visual AIDS that we participated in. About 1400 people created a postcard size original piece of art for the event and opening night was quite a success. There were so many pieces to look at and love and I tried to photograph my ABSOLUTE favorites and the ones that really stood out to me. Sorry for the crooked shoots but the space was packed and hot and full of drag queens (awesome). What I love about this show is that you have no idea who made the art until it is purchased and flipped over. totally anonymous.

Which one is your favorite?
