Two months ago I went to NYC to study at Magnum Studios with the amazing Alessandra Sanguinettie. I went at the tail end of my busiest wedding season to date and snuck it in between two weddings, a myriad of photo commissions and a destination wedding / family vacation. There is something about nyc that seems to reset me, oh it sounds like that Alicia Keys song but it is true. It clears my brain, it makes me push myself and reinvent and look at things differently. New York overloads my senses and then makes me dig down to the inner quiet inside myself and come back up for air.
I was there to shoot a photo essay, which I’ll share soon, but here are a few frames I took walking about the city.
BriannaI love these! :) You are such a talented woman.
marieyour photographs always want to make me get in front of my easel and paint! inspiration galore!
(my fave is the profile of the police man behind the glass.)
BethHi Melissa,
Love these photos! Makes me miss NYC even more! The portraits are incredible! I really like the shot of the Brooklyn Bridge (I’m think), too. Did you eat at Tao? Is that where the Buddha was? Beautiful magical kiss blowing happening here as well. Okay, I’m rambling. Just didn’t know if I’d told you how brilliant you are yet today;)
