lrei
i have had the distinct pleasure of befriending the wildly talented ms. laura hahn, the publications manager at lrei, a pairing downtown schools in manhattan that are unlike any learning institution i have ever seen. they are creative and supportive and an all around fantastic learning environment. i have fallen in love with this school.
ms. hahn has hired me for a couple of shoots, the images from which are scattered throughout the site, including the one above. i also shot the headshots for all of the faculty. their new site has just gone live, and i feel lucky to have been a part of it.

Something I Ate: Food and Art Event
The "Something I Ate" art opening last night in Brooklyn was a success. There were photographs and sculptures on display and delicious Skim Kim food served. Above are a couple shots, one of which is of my "Comida Dominicana Tipica," which pared 3 traditional Dominican staples served in DR and served in NYC. The art will be up for a limited time, so if interested in seeing it, it is still at a very cool location in Williamsburg calle Rouge 58. You shoud go check it out!

Uptown Collective/ The Search For The Perfect Maduro: Marisco Centro
For my second review I sampled a local eatery by the name of Marisco Center. An especially interesting choice for me, as I am not a seafood fan. My fellow diner made the selection and I, feeling unlike myself, chose to acquiesce. Being the busy girl I am, I chose to partake in their take out service, as dine in and delivery are both available. The food looked appetizing and the staff was helpful and friendly, offering generous samples of their fish soup as you wait. In my large paper-plastic bag combo I brought the chicken, steak, rice, beans, and yucca just a few short blocks back to my apartment to dig in and satiate my mounting hunger pangs. (Read More)

The Republica Update/Always Wash Your Hair
I spend many of my Saturday nights in front of a computer scouring the internet for images and creating galleries for a website that hires me for 6 months at a time. This seasonal work has allowed me to have a bit of a safety net financially, work with some amazing people I never would have met otherwise and come into the office nights and weekends in any semblance of fashion or level of hygienic state I deem fit. Saturday was no exception.
After going running in the afternoon I literally took a moment to ponder whether or not today was a good day to wash my hair. In an attempt to keep my chestnut locks glistening I have been foregoing the everyday washing and today seemed as good a day as any, as my computer never seems to mind my funk and getting off so late at night often rules out social engagements.

Something I Ate: Food and Are Event
I have been lucky enough to be included in an upcoming collective art event called Something I Ate and I wanted to make sure I shared it all with you. My pieces are still under wraps, but I wanted to get the word out there for anyone interested in attending. There are some very cool artists involved (and no, I am not talking about me) and bound to be some tasty eats.
Hope to see you there...

The Republica Update/There Is No Such Thing As The Perfect Fit
I had a very close friend in town this past weekend and as I was walking her to Grand Central station to catch the bus to LGA, I told her the story of my prom dress. My senior year in high school I found the perfect dress. It was just what I had envisioned: simple, elegant, lavender with some beading, but it most certainly didn’t look like all of the other horrendous Jessica McClintock frocks my fellow senior girls would be rocking and regretting for years to come. I could not have designed a better dress myself if I had commissioned the work. So, I did what any red-blooded American girl would do when finding the perfect ensemble - I bought another dress. I picked-up a little spaghetti strapped black number that yes, was much more flattering on my then curvy girl figure, but I still think of the lavender gown that I fell in love with, and proceeded to walk away from.
This was not an isolated incident. (Read More)

Despite being terribly ill I was recently able to make it out to the Little League parade in Inwood, and shoot my very first Manhattan Times cover story. Lets hope this is the first of many to come...

The Republica Update/Love Means Never Having To Say I'm Sorry...For Being Disgusting
My sister, who has been married for many years, once told me a story about how she knew she and her betrothed were really in it for the long haul the first time she had a stomach ailment and he was there to care for her. I suspect she felt this way because it was perhaps the first time he had seen her weak, vulnerable and utterly disgusting. (Read More)

The Republica Update/Sex Without Penetration
I spent part of last week in the Dominican Republic and met an older man who was dynamic and charming, sweet and very direct.
I have never been accused of being a wallflower, and have only been deemed a prude by those I have neglected to sleep with, so, it took me by surprise that someone saying what they wanted, in plain straightforward language, to sex with me, would not only make me blush, but it caught me completely off guard.
