Today you get photos from Washington Square. Yes, I was the person standing in the middle of the sidewalk aiming her camera at the top of the monument, waiting for the birds to take flight. Oh, but when they did? It was lovely.

Good morning! New York City gave me the most amazing gift today by covering the town in powdered sugar. Or snow. Whatever.I threw on my clothes, gave up on my hair and ran out the door (or down the 5 flights of stairs to the door) and down the block to Central Park. As I write this, three hours later, the snow is mostly melted and I'm so glad I bolted out when I did. It was glorious.

Hello there! I'm in New York for a quick getaway FOR FUN because my husband is the greatest man on the planet and recognized that I needed to get away for just a bit for a little inspiration. And man, am I doing that right now!I met up with a college buddy (who lives in Rochester, NY) and we are having a great time, staying in an amazing air bnb and walking about 20K steps a day.Today I dragged her to the Top of the Rock like any upstanding photographer tourist would do around sunset, and I shot these images. It was too cloudy for an actual sunset, but it was OK because watching the lights come on around the city was pretty spectacular in itself.I have a bunch more shots from the day, but I'm traveling all week, and I thought I would spread them out a little. Enjoy! PS: No internet shares today as I'm not surfing the web right now. More later this week though!

I had a shoot yesterday on the twentieth floor of a building downtown, and the fog remained all day long. I kept thinking it would lift, but finally at 3 pm, I snapped this image because it just felt so dang mysterious out there.I haven't had much time for internet shares this week, but here are two things I've enjoyed. I hope you all have a glorious weekend, and just wait until you see what I have in store for you on Monday!+ This story about living with a mini fridge was super inspiring.+ I loved these faked images.

Last night I ventured over to St. Paul to photograph Børns (I feel so fancy every time I get that character to show up correctly). I had listened to his music a little and thought it would be a fun show to photograph. I was right.One of my new years resolutions was to photograph more shows. Because they rarely pay anything and keep me up late at night, this work has fallen to the side in the last few years (let's be honest, since the arrival of Ezra, sleep has taken on the value of gold bricks in my household).But now that we appear to be settling into the smallest of routines at home (knock on wood), I feel like I can fit music back into my schedule. And while these photos do nothing to pay my bills, they fill my soul, and that's pretty important. I'm trying to focus on both sides of the equation these days.Below are a few more of my favorite shots, and you can see the full take over here. Enjoy!

Why am I showing you a shadow of a glass of water on a day when we have a foot of fresh snow outside? Well.This is the flip side of winter. The day the plow comes by and buries your freshly shoveled driveway in the salty ice compound that might as well be known as concrete.While I am *dying* to go outside and spend an hour of my workday shooting fresh images, in all honesty I need to shovel the plow mess instead. And that's not very pretty. So instead, I give you this great shadow I caught last week while I was at a corporate client's location working on portraits.I promise to put a little more effort in tomorrow. In the meantime? Wish me luck.And for your internet shares of the day!+ I had never heard of this movie, but it looks delightful!+ These life hacks hit home for me. Plus it's written by one of my favorites around town.+ Norway wants Americans who are fed up with Trump to move there. Tempting...Also, just a suggestion: I'm watching Godless on Netflix right now and WOW. Have you seen it? I never thought I'd be this mesmerized by a western.
