Hey everyone! I am very proud to introduce VIVRE magazine!
I know that half of you reading this are rolling your eyes because half the world tries to start their own magazine these days, but thats ok with me. I already have some amazingly talented people on board and I am beyond excited! This will not be a fashion magazine or art magazine just to be clear (although it will of course feature some of both). I will release more details little by little as it progresses. I will soon be releasing it's website and the date the first issue will come out. I cannot promise that will be extremely soon but it will be within the next of months and hopefully before summer!

So my family and I drove down to Nashville this week since I was off school. It was a terrible 16 hour drive both ways but we stopped along the way and stayed in nasty motels and my mom got drunk and we laughed and made the best of it. It was so so nice to get away from home and forget about school stress but aside from that we really went down so I could go look at Vanderbilt. It's funny because as a New Yorker you think you know a lot about growing up with different cultures and you have a lot of experiences but going to Nashville was like going to a whole new world that I didn't even know existed. It felt like being in another country but it was so exciting and I wanted to eat up every second of it. We stayed in a hotel right off Broadway, which is sort of the times square of Nashville. Definitely not as big but certainly as flashy. We stayed out late and went into bars and listened to every street performer sing or play their instrument. The minute I got there I knew I could see myself living there. Yesterday we went of a tour of Vanderbilt. It has always been one of my top choices for college but after this it is most definitely my number one. I can't even explain how much I loved it. Everything is just perfect for me and what I want and just being there made me feel so hopeful for the future and getting out of my small town. I didn't even know I could fall so in love with a place after only being there a couple of hours. Overall the trip was amazing, gave me a real reason to stay motivated in school (haha) and also gave me an opportunity to take some interesting pictures!
ps. will be posting pictures from my last shoot as soon as I know if I am allowed to!

Hi everybody! I know I've been absent from flickr, and this, and well pretty much everything for a very long time. I really should give a long detailed explanation as to why, but instead I am going to put it simply: I needed some time to focus on myself , rather than my photography. It was really important for me to do that. It was never a conscious decision, but it was necessary. Anyway, I did make a conscious decision to return to my photography. I've been so inspired lately, and I've actually been putting it into my studio art, when really I've been itching to pick up a camera again. So I did. And it will stay at my side from now on:) Also, I've lost contact with a lot of you flickr people that I love so dearly, so talk to me! I miss y'all:)

Hi, this is my new blog. I've had a million blogs and I've never really kept up using any of them. In my mind right now, I'm going to update this one all the time, but based on my past record of blogs, I can't make any promises. Well I made this one because I really want to start sharing my art again, I think I lost the desire to do that for a while. I have a shoot tomorrow and later during the week, so that will up here first. For now, I would like to share a photo series of some memories from the summertime. They mean a lot to me, so I really hope you like them.
