I love this playful engagement photo by Sarah K Chen published by E-magazine, Utterly Engaged.

I LOVE this idea for wedding photos! Too cute. The booth was made by Sasha Souza for Kristen at Bliss Productions. Happy Weekend!

I love the photography for these cd's done by Brian Gossett. Check out his mood board, too.

Spent the day with my brother and his wife, visiting this park and walking the streets of New York. Enjoying summer...finally!

{visit: Roof Garden at the Met}

This week I was able to see Roxy Paine's Maelstrom on the rooftop garden at the Metropolitan Museum. See behind-the-scenes footage of the construction here.

Two things I am inspired by right now...these talented sisters on flickr and Jason Reeves's music...especially this song! And now I am off to help my great friend move into her new apartment and then my brother and sis-in-law will be here visiting for the next few days!

Here's to the last bits of summer...

Alicia Bock is one of my favorite photographers. She is self taught and from Michigan, my home state. Her photos take me back there! Check out her blog too!

{One Gallery Girl Visit: Avedon Fashion at ICP}

{Shoes by Perugia, Place du Trocadéro, Paris, August 1948}

{Veruschka, dress by Kimberly, New York, January 1967}

{Dovima with Elephants, dress by Dior, Cirque d'Hiver, Paris, August 1955}

This is my first official gallery visit that I am blogging about, and the exhibition was stunning. American photographer Richard Avedon's (1923-2004) work is full of life and movement. You can literally feel the energy. Plus, I've been obsessed with Paris ever since I walked through the room devoted to his photography of Paris at night!

"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up." Richard Avedon

Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 is currently on exhibit at the International Center of Photography Museum until September 20th, 2009.

(ps...here is the perfect little outfit to wear to the show!!)

I am what some would call a girly girl. I love pink, pretty, fluffy things. I can't help it! Hope you don't mind while I indulge. And just in case you too want to become a girly girl here is a hilarious how-to guide (ie: listen to pop music!).
