While returning home from Martha's Vineyard (as well as traveling the world for a year), I noticed the same mundane rest stops. I became so bored with all the resting and the stopping that I began sleeping through "pit stops" (much to my bladder's dismay.) Here's a photo of a more interesting looking road stop.

it's been a hard day's night
it's incredible how a simple thunderstorm can so drastically change a mood. new york has been rainy, rainy, rainy. all summer. almost every day. i can count the sunshine days on one hand...tops. and some days this is how i feel:

models as muses
on a recent excursion with my boyfriend to the met, i had the wonderful opportunity to peruse the museum's latest fashion exhibit. entitled "the model as muse", whereupon fashion is juxtaposed with women's roles in society throughout the years. the exhibit goes from elegant and feminine christian dior evening wear to the more boyish fashions of the '70s and '80s. i truly enjoyed it and thought i'd share this photo with all of you.

just as johnny cash abused his body, so too does his "walk the line" portrayor joaquin phoenix. when you get the chance, check out his february interview on letterman. he must be popping some serious pills. in any case, here is a nice photo of the original cash.

Lighting
it's incredible how just a small tweak can change an entire photo. i mean, imagine if hank walker had his flash on when he took this famous photo.
