blog-ing

Any time I tried to keep a diary it was always a disaster - for me things are either in the regular chores category or the random/fun category. This falls somewhere in between. Still, I really do like it as a creative outlet, and it beats mass emails for update purposes. I guess as a low-tech person, I am just still in awe of the sheer amount of social networking opportunities out there, and often get overwhelmed at trying to keep up with all of them. 

Huh. 

Anyways, going to try to make this fun and a regular chore. Here goes!

Spent an amazing weekend in Vail, Colorado. Life's good at 9,000 feet!

Evening Run, East River

 

Photos snapped on my iPhone on a couple of my almost daily runs along the east river. Late afternoon and early evening, the light is just spectacular...

 

 Dissonant daffodils near the highway, and some Modernist architecture illuminated.

Signs of Spring...

Spring is Springing

Finally emerging from under the literal pile of paper that is/was/continues to be my final MA project just as Spring weather emerges here in New York. Must post here more often. In the meantime, a lovely picture of a place (I don't know where) that I want to get to as soon as possible.

Happy Happy!

My annual family holiday card design: a delicate interpretation of the twelve days of Christmas.

Getting into the spirit post-finals, and am so grateful for all this year has brought!

Happy Happy!
