New Bird

Sophie Madeleine, my new favorite little bird.

You Are My Favourite:

Oh it's sitting on the tip of my tongue
as we're quietly strolling along.
I've been meaning to tell you for so long now
that it's got me stuck in a hold somehow.
You're looking me right in the eye.
We stop still and the world rushes by
and as I struggle to hide it inside I find that
I lack the courage to tell you.
And all I can manage to say is

"You are by far my favourite.
and I've been thinking it's about time that you knew.
That you are by far my favourite.
And I hope that I'm by far your favourite too."

You're looking at me ever so strange.
I guess it's time I should really explain.
You see I'm ever so glad that I met you now
I'm constantly being amazed at how you
make all my troubles dissolve.
Every kiss leaves me wanting another and my
heart hits the floor when I see you.
And I feel so sure when I say that

"You are by far my favourite.
And I've been thinking it's about time that you knew.
That you are by far my favourite.
And I hope that I'm by far your favourite too."

So will you forgive this stuttering fool?
This mess of a girl? Oh, please don't be cruel.

'Cause you are by far my favourite.
And I've been thinking it's about time that you knew.
That you are by far my favourite.
And I hope that I'm by far your favourite too.

Mad Hatter

The question of when Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland: Mad Hatter movie comes out. I love Alice as most of you know (I have an original drawing tattooed on my forearm) and don't think I have ever been more excited!

Long wait (March 5, 2010) but these look so beautiful!




I love the actor who plays the twins! Matt Lucas from Little Britain, although I am sure if he will be playing a comedy roll this time with the Tim Burton twists.



I hardly ever go see movies on the big screen, except for summer time drive-ins or on really cold winter days, but this one I will be at!

Rainy Saturday Night

I took a spill down my stairs this evening in the process of getting ready. So I have no choice but to stay in with my computer and ice! Thankfully I am staying dry, I lost count of how many days in a row it has been raining.

Irony

Today I went scouting in Coney Island with Jamie and Kylie. I really enjoyed myself despite being soaked due to the down pour that lasted until late this evening! Planning shots for what is supposed to be a summer time shoot in the pouring rain was more then entertaining and somehow a success.

When will this arrive?

Forgot...

Grasmere landscapes.

Telesca

My favorite painting of the weekend.

details.

vintage shutters.

long forgotten, yet in plain sight.

beautiful.

Summer dresses are out and ironed and being worn.

Ears Lowered

This is now me.

She'll Be Comin'

I'm feeling good and working hard. I have some really great projects that I will be shooting all within the next few weeks. Things are lined up and moving fast, it is practically July 5th for me. Its good, no all is going very great!

I wore this today.


I love it. If you look up how much it costs well... I deserve it! My freelancers treat for receiving a long awaited check in the mail the other day. I felt great in it all day long, I was told I was walking around looking instantly photograph-able! I LOVE THAT!

Easter

work food

Back for more scouting Thursday, this time no roller coaster ride! Did not even make it over the first hill without whiplash!

Love this random chair that was on my building rooftop. Plastic and wood combo. Modern and rustic.

Wondering

I have been lost in sunshine, haircuts, quick trips home, bloody marys, work for many kinds of prosperity...

I will be heading upstate to Meagan's parents this weekend to attend this.

Then back to the city for a very fun and very heavy summer of work!

Working and enjoying this:
