Too excited to hide it

So this is a little silly but I got a message on flickr, as follows:

Happy Irish Day Boston

Jessie took me to Judy West's studio in Southie for the St. Patrick's day parade. Madness and fun everywhere. To think I had never experienced a Boston St. Paddy's day before this.

Kids on roofs...



Green dogs...



Typicalness...





Me with Jessie and Judy in Judy's beautifully naturally lit studio...

What a day. Thanks Jessie. Viva le Irish!

Such is Life

So I finally got around to showing Mark my work today. I had printed 40 images at Camera's Inc and was really stoked. I was... mildly crushed when he was less than ecstatic with well more than half of my work. Its hard. I'm trying. I'm not getting enough shooting of my own done though and I don't know if I've hit a wall or not. I'm just scared I'm going to be stuck in this state of mediocracy.

But before I fall into the angst-fest ... Mark loved this one. "Award-winning" he said. I hope so.

Enjoy it.

Honk 2006.

For Maia

Hey there cutie pie,

There, the photos! I'm working on the others but here is your teaser:

Mwah! Can't wait to see you

More Goth Love

The Boston Gothic Ball in Back Bay. I loved it.







Cage dancers and blacklights, whooo!

Happy Lupercalia

Obviously, I don't keep New Years Resolutions very well. But I have good excuses:

1) Stuff at Ostow Photo has been nuts - Fun but super nuts. We had a show at the studio for the class Jessie teaches at the Germaine Lawrence school for troubled teens. I basically cleaned the whole studio and hung everything. It was super fun, but then all three of us got sick which put us back in shooting and so craziness keeps on moving along.

2) Uh... otherstuff.

Okay so the excuses aren't that great. Here are some photos though to catch up.

This was a really fun goth Valentine's party in Cambridge.

And to finish off, I finally developed a Holga roll that's been sitting in the camera since who knows when. I miss this girl so much. XOXO Betta!

All for now,
me

all in the family

New Years Resolution No. 1: Really try to get this blog off the ground.

Spent the turn of the new year at the beach. Some moments to remember (or at least, looked good pixelated):



The Rubix cube took over the whole trip.






Okay, so it kind of became a tribute to my nephew. He is adorable.



Happy 2008 all!

Honk meets Octoberfest

So this is what my Sunday looked like.



The 2nd Annual Honk Festival in Davis Square. Honk features a day of Activist Bands that perform all over Davis Square a few weeks before Halloween.



This year, on Sunday, the Honk bands paraded from Davis Square to Harvard Square to join up with Harvard Squares Octoberfest. Fun and noise ensues.




Find the whole set of the festivities here (link!) Thats it for now. Happy week.
