Six Impossible Things
“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” – White Queen, Alice in Wonderland. Six impossibly awesome things. I can’t believe it’s already March! While my birthday month always seems to sneak up on me, this year’s been a little crazier than usual: I had jaw surgery almost two weeks ago, so its…

Six Impossible Things
Whew! This July has been kind of crazy. I need some sleep! My photography course at FIT demanded that I wake up in the wee hours of the morning to catch a train to NYC and once my half-day class was over, I usually spent the rest of the day traipsing (or maybe trudging? definitely…

Zurich Aesthetic
I’m finally in Switzerland! Zurich, to be exact, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s been four years since I was last here, and not much has changed. The grocery still makes delicious fresh bread, the trams still arrive exactly on the dot, and the bikes are still ever-present. It’s comforting to know that I can…

Six Impossible Things
You know those weeks when you have a to-do list that’s a mile long and it doesn’t seem to be getting any shorter? Well, this is one of those weeks for me. For every task I complete, another one seems to take its place immediately. It’s tempting to crawl into bed and forget about it…

A Winter Anthology
Winter, for all its icy coldness and dark nights, is beautiful. It’s a subtle beauty, to be sure. The snowfalls seem endless, the whipping winds, cruel, and everyone holes up in their homes for some sort of respite. But in midst of all that, there is also the wonder of seeing a perfectly six pointed…

NYC Day
I’m usually a very scheduled and detail oriented person, needing to know exactly what’s happening. But sometimes, I find that the best way to relax can be to simply let go, and take everything as it comes. In what’s become a yearly tradition, my family takes a trip to NYC, where I usually plan so…

Setting the Scene
Throughout September and October, I’ve been snapping away, trying to capture the little details, whether it’s a quiet moment in the backyard, or a pretty scene at the side of the road. This way, as November begins and fall fades away, I’ll be able to remember the colorful, leaf filled landscape when winter’s bleak and gray…
