Instagram

I've been away from this blog for awhile because of Instagram!  I've been having fun taking pics with my new iPhone (new phone as a result of losing my old one).  My ID on Instagram is thingsontables if you'd like to follow :) 

Here are some of the photos I took in the past few months . . . I'll still post on this blog though.  I'd like to write more even if it's short so we'll see.

A special connection

Robin Schwartz (world-renown photographer), and her daughter Amelia are new to me.  I discovered Robin's work in the NY Time's Sunday magazine (I picked up a copy of the NY Times at Fresh &  Easy on a whim).

I guess her daughter, Amelia has this special connection with animals and her mother has been photographing this bond since Amelia was a little girl.  All I can say is that these photos are amazing (and how cool to have such a special bond with animals).  You can see more here and here.

I wish I had a special connection with animals like Amelia, but I'm content with my affectionate Cody.

Portrait

 

My friend, Serenity--a very talented photographer--took some photos of me at my old apartment as a gift for me last summer.  Here's one of my favorites (because Cody looks so silly and I like how my hair looks).  

Todd Selby

I sometimes visit The Selby when I'm looking for some interior eye candy and views into imaginative spaces.  Todd Selby is a gifted photographer who takes pics of creative people and their spaces.  I guess he started out doing this project for fun and it turned into a big sensation.  Never underestimate what can happen when you pursue something you love and share it with other people. 

As much as I find the flashier homes and personalities entertaining, my favorite photos are of quiet homes close to nature.

The Photography of Stephanie Yu

Another artist I had the privilege of meeting at the DR 96 Gallery show was the fabulous Stephanie Yu.  Stephanie is a talented photographer and frugal fashionista.  All images courtesy of Stephanie.   Thanks for letting me share your work, Stephanie!
