Celebrating the NY Subway system

The New York Times is celebrating 10 decades of New York City’s subway system this week in a wonderful photo essay you must view.   Being a commuter myself, it's wonderful to see how the system has improved through the years...  even though it has been at a cost.   Original train fare was $0.05.

By the way, that's me sleeping in the 1969 picture below...   Well no, not really, but you get the point! Ha!

Geometry + Food = Great photography by Carl Kleiner ::

I'm not much of a foodie but IKEA's new cookbook, Hembakat är Bäst (Homemade is Best), contains some amazing food photography I may just reconsider that...   These are by the talented Carl Kleiner.   In complete awe with the colors stories in each shot...   Great great job by stylist Evelina Batrell on these as well!

Favorite materials/tools?
my favorite tool has to be my macbook pro. i do all my design work on it and, if i'm awake, it's attached to my hip. for my photography, of course, my camera has to be my favorite tool, but photoshop is a close second! i love taking a photo and giving it a touch-up job or a whole other look through the wonders of photoshop!

Creative icon?
i'm not sure i could choose just one creative icon! there are so many talented artists and designers out there. if i had to choose one, the first that comes to mind is charlie harper. the complex simplicity of his work is just amazing to me. timeless.

Other artistic outlets?
i'm a big crafter. i love creating just about anything with my hands. i love buying thrifty items and creating something new and beautiful out of them. i feature a lot of these items on my blog. i also love embroidery, sewing, and creating just about anything.

Best advice:
do what you love and what makes you happy.

Daytime mega crafter or creative genius by night?
i'm definitely not your typical artist that stays up until all hours of the night creating. even when i was in college, i was the one in bed while everyone else was finishing their projects. my brain shuts off at 10 p.m. sharp. while i can sit and veg-out in font of the t.v. i can't accomplish anything productive after that time.
