The White Girl’s Got Groove
Thursday, April 24th, 2008

This is Eliza Coolidge. Or Eli R. Knox. Or Ee.lie.zah. Or Leeeeeza. But I can’t keep up with all of her name changes, so I just call her Lyz. It’s easier for me to stick with names that only have one syllable and/or are 3 letters or less. [...]

In The Hopes of Manifesting A Summer Cocktail Dress
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

This is the storefront window of a super cute boutique in Dumbo named Blueberi. Every time I walk by my mouth fills with saliva at the vision of perky cocktail dresses in gorgeous fabrics that are cut in a way that seems they are made for the general masses [...]

The Burrow

I feel so urban posting these shots… which I suppose I am. Technically, I have been boroughfied. My lovely neighborhood of “East Williamsburg” (aka Bushwick) is the place where the unofficial language is Extremely Loud Español and people get shot just steps from your front door (there is [...]

Ghost Children

This is another shot of Dumbo taken under the Manhattan Bridge. There’s always a million school buses parked on this particular street, but the only children I ever really see are those with their parents or nannies. A little bit confusing. But since I don’t much care [...]

String of Lights

So. I feel as if I’ve seen this image a million times before. Which I have. Because, lets face it, the New York City skyline is pretty much the most over-photographed thing in the world. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all.
Yet it’s still oddly [...]

Peeve of the Day: Using Too Many Paper Towels
Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I understand it’s annoying to have wet hands.  Especially when you are about to go sit down at a computer.  Believe me, I am borderline psychotic about any foreign substances (even the good ol’ H2O) coming anywhere near my precious aluminum MBP.
However, I also deem it completely unnecessary to stand waving your hand in front [...]

72 Degrees and It’s Officially Spring
Thursday, April 17th, 2008

We’ve finally had (almost) an entire week of sun and (semi) warmth. Today it’s 72 degrees outside, and though I may be sitting in an office, I still feel like I’m finally thawing out from the cold. Now if only I could get rid of this winter coat [...]

Peeve of the Day: Sunglasses Indoors
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

I’m sorry, but there is no reason to keep your sunglasses on when you enter a building for longer than, oh let’s say, 30 seconds.*  I understand you may need to get situated, get your keys out, shift your coffee to the other hand, but after that, sunglasses should be moved up onto the crown [...]

I Heart Photography
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

This afternoon, my most awesome boss, Scott (would include a link here if there was a blog to link to, AHEM), sent me out with his Nikon D80 to play around with.
First of all, to get the super geeky stuff out of the way, I have a bit of camera envy now. The body [...]
