Something To Fill Your Tummy

The iMages I Want

Not to be cruel..

But this is probably one of the stupider things I've seen in awhile... 

I'm not sure what that says about South Carolina, but it was all found thanks to the the huffington post.

nanette lepore

I was brought in to do a freelance photo shoot (literally free) for Nanette Lepore's website a couple weeks ago.  They decided to use an inhouse photography (shame), but that does give me the ability to now post the shoot.... Nothing too exciting, but I'm sure something similar will be up on her website before fashion week. I did feel like I smelled like lip gloss after.

what would I say to my 20 something year old self?

I was googling wnyc, ny's npr station, because I was listening to npr a couple of hours ago and they were commenting on the ny times magazine article that came out over the weekend. I wanted to post something about the discussion, because it was semi-interesting and well semi-relative and I've been lacking on the digital uploading.  however, no luck, couldn't find it online, but did find this. --> Npr's What would you write to your 20-year old self? 


to be honest, it actually had to do with more female relationship advice, which I'm not really into particularly on a public blog, but it did make me think...


dear 20 something year old self,
       don't get hit by a car again.

the neistat brothers

Since my accident, I have been sent to bed and have been watching a lot of tv.  this includes the hbo series the neistat brothers.  they're great to watch when you cannot move, because they're moving constantly -most specifically on motorcycles and boy do i want a motorcycle now more than ever.  they document their lives and adventures in a creative, i like to cut shit out and paste it to broken television screens and challenge people to absurd competitions, sort of way.  you'll get what I'm referring to if you watch the youtube clip.  

(my only qualm with the show is that they don't include enough women with the exception of girlfriends and mothers which i think is crap. i suggested fixing that problem by hiring me.)

Estelle Rigaud

this is what I wrote to Estelle Rigaud a couple weeks ago:


Chère Estelle, 

   Mon nom est _____ et j'habite à New York. Je suis un étudiant qui étudiait la photographie et le illustration et j'aime vos livres de  beaucoup. Je fais des excuses pour mon Français. Je n'essayais pas de parler français depuis que j'étais plus jeune. Je me demandais s'il était possible d'acheter un livre de vous? Est-ce que vous vendez des livres en Etats-Unis? J'aime beaucoup votre site de Web aussi bien. Si vous parlez l'anglais qui pourrait également être utile, mais peut-être est bon pour moi pratiquer mon français. 

Merci !

(en particulier "mémoire de rire")

for those of you who speak french, I would consider the above email very embarrassing, but this is why it had to happen:

these are the awesome books that she illustrates or essentially recreates and I really want one.  They are not sold anywhere in the states and she has no formal publisher, but they are absolutely exquisite and I found them on her website here.  I should add that I love to collect books, zines, literary magazines and I am trying, when I start to make more images I like, to put together my own photography book.
