Gallery Mondays: ‘Holding Out’ by Seward Johnson
I hope this little old lady wasn’t waiting for a cab, because she’s got no free hands to flag one down! Maybe she was waiting for a cab. That’s probably why she looks so upset and annoyed… She also seems to have gotten a lot done. She got groceries, did a little shopping at Talbots.…

Photo Diary: Marisa Perry Atelier Bourbon & Baubles Event
Never did it dawn on me that jewels and spirits might be the perfect combo. I was invited to the Bourbon & Baubles event at Marisa Perry Atelier, a jewelry shop in the West Village of NYC, on February 11th. The event was part bourbon tasting and part jewelry perusing. I’m not much of a…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Oculus’ by Kristen Jones and Andrew Ginzel
If you’ve ridden the A, C, or E train to Chambers Street in NYC, or ever waited for one of those trains underground, you’ve probably noticed a bunch of eyeballs staring at you. I’ve always found these mosaic eyes to be quite intriguing, and it wasn’t until recently while writing an article for Parachute by…

Gallery Mondays: Walking Across the Brooklyn Bridge
Last week I went to Tavola on 9th Ave in NYC with some coworkers for our holiday party. On the wall near the window of the restaurant there was this lovely painting that looked like a photograph. I honestly would have went on thinking it was a photograph if I hadn’t gotten closer to it.…
