For shits and giggles, I used an iPad as a light table to illuminate this white henryi trumpet lily. I, then took a few photos of it with my iPhone using Camera+. After I was done playing with Camera+, I realized that I should capture this with my “real” camera. This was a fun & […]

At the farmers market the other day, I stumbled upon a vendor who had all types of basil. Not all that exciting, right? Well, it kinda was because she had Thai basil. I’ve only had Thai basil at Thai restaurants in some of my favorite dishes but I’ve never seen it in stores.  I had […]

Back in December, I told you about the most awesome cupcake that I’ve ever had in my life, the maple bacon cupcake from Autumn Rae’s Sweet Treats & Street Meats. Since then, the cupcake has been constantly on my mind but not always easy for me to run and get. You know, my life is […]

Doing this Christmas in July section of my NYC Analog Street Portrait series has been fun this week and a bit challenging. It’s been a challenge because when I land home after being out all day, all I want to do is lounge on my deck in the summer air with a cool cocktail and […]

Hung out at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market today and picked up red and black raspberries to make my berry flavored vodkas. While navigating the vendors, I got really excited when I saw some good looking collard greens.

“Lincoln Center George” is one of those New Yorkers that loves to be seen at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, in the tents or not.  Last season, I spotted him rocking various furry looks; some being more courageous or outrageous than the next. In the photo above he was rocking raccoon, skin tight stretch pants and […]

Between my trips to LV & DC, I was away for 10 glorious days!  Vegas had me beat down but DC lifted me back up leaving me feeling right & reenergized! I took my camera on both trips of course but I just was not motivated to use it. Let alone carry it with all […]

Just got home from Vegas & had a wonderful time. The SHRM 2011 annual conference was amazing. Staying at the Aria hotel was amazing. Enjoying new & old friends was amazing…. I could go on & on. On a not so cool note, I never made it down to the Las Vegas sign like I […]

One movie that I absolutely hated was “Hancock” starring Will Smith. Actually, there are not many movies featuring Will Smith that I can say that I loved outside of “Men in Black (1 & 2),” “Enemy of the State,” “Independence Day” & “Bad Boys II.” Anyway, I’m not here for a movie critique today… So […]
