On Mondays, we head up to our old neighborhood for piano lessons. The stroller and carrier are things of the past, because the lesson's spectator is "big" now and needs no help whatsoever. Except she will accept the occasional hand up the stairs from her favorite older brother. Notably, recent schedule changes have opened up an opportunity for a snack stop en route...
Please visit the rest of the 8 Days a Week collaborative, starting with the beautifully talented Meghann Prouse.
"I wanna ride da scoodah hemmet! I speedy, Mommy! I speedy!" Love watching this little human tackle the world.
Our collective Who We Become blog post can be seen here, and if you'd rather peruse some lovely photography bit by bit, I invite you to make your way around the blog circle, starting with my fellow city mama, the incredibly talented Julie Mak.
Full disclosure: I have taken precisely zero non-family related images so far this month. Which is a shame, because the weather has been unseasonably warm and perfect for night shooting. And also because it means that anyone hoping for a glimpse of street photography will have to settle for city kids yet again. Our giant tree will eventually get its own post, so here are a few personal favorites that do not feature the 9 foot decoration in our living room.
Please head over to Who We Become to see our monthly mosaic, or take a more personal spin through everyone's work via blog circle, starting with Jill Cassara, who should really be working for Martha Stewart with her gorgeous images and impeccable styling, but we're lucky to get her instead.
"The paintings were good, but I'm more of a sculpture kid."
Local love.
After almost ten years in this neighborhood, Christmas shopping at Domus has become something of a holiday tradition for my family.
This evening we headed out for a little stroll and stopped by to pay them a visit. We were excited to discover that their beautiful tree is already decorated and, as always, treasures abound.
Photo 52: Hard Light Week 2
Winter flowers, city lights. When presented with something so lovely, it's hard to resist documenting it at every angle; up close and from afar.
Next up in the Photo 52 blog circle is my friend and fellow New Yorker, the exceptionally gifted and very lovely Sarah Roemer Davis. Please check out her blog and take a spin through the chain to see my fellow Photo 52 participants' interpretations of hard light this week.
Some of us enjoy this more than others.
