New orleans hotel

Just a few details + mirror selfie from our room in the French Quarter, taken on the Minolta x370s.

Perry St

Perry St may be one of the prettiest restaurants I have ever laid eyes on. I almost gasped upon entering the light-filled space. It's pretty much how I'd want my dream apartment to look - clean, modern, natural colors and a nice mix of wood and leather. The hanging lightbulbs add a nice industrial kick. The restaurant also has a fantastic view of the west side - can you just imagine sitting in these lounge chairs sipping one of these drinks and watching the sunset? Are you swooning yet?

I was over there last week to shoot some of their new cocktails for Serious Eats (see the article here) and couldn't resist grabbing a few shots of the interior.

That Barcelona bench... those wooden side tables... sigh.

A happy windowsill

I decked out one of our windowsills with these little succulents this past week. They were too cute to resist. I started with three on Wednesday, wasn't satisfied enough, so proceeded to add four more to the collection yesterday. All but one came from the Union Square Greenmarket.

These photos were taken on the Contax and polaroid back with Fuji FP-3000b film (and what a fun film this is!).

A charming new orleans

More film photos from New Orleans. (I know, I almost forgot about them too. It feels like so long ago.) I shot a lot of buildings...

A cat's life

Yeah, it's a tough one... lounging on this windowsill and plotting what to break next. :P

The black and white one has got to be my fave.

Signs of spring

Spring has just about arrived to Tompkins Square Park...

Still house

This Monday has felt a bit off for me; maybe it's the time change, maybe it's the traumatic dentist experience I had in the morning, or maybe I've just got a bad case of the Mondays. In any case, I've got these great little goods from Still House I wanted to share. It's always dangerous going there - a teeny tiny, well-curated shop way too close to my apartment. It's hard to walk out empty handed.


I've got what I think is a "black thumb," so no guarantees to how long this moss-in-flask will last, but the owner kindly said she'd give me new moss should I kill this one...

I was also drawn to this (petrified?) coral and thought it'd be a cute accent piece on a desk or side table. This mini planner is perfect for my needs and I had been looking for a back up to my Google calendar. Finally, there was a pile of beautiful cut-out prints that I immediately knew I wanted. It would've been impossible to choose based on design alone, but J and I both thought the color of this frame was particularly nice. :) I found out the artist is Molly M and based in San Francisco. She has some seriously beautiful stuff in her shop.
