The Big Apple

My trip to NY was a sweet sucess;) I got to see lots of photo and college friends and got to further explore the city I have grown so familiar with over the years.

From Starbucks in Central Park to Photography Exhibits on the west side, to Lunch meet-ups and Dinner sit downs, NY treated me well yet again. So for now I say goodbye to this fond city... I look forward to our next ron de vue!

It snowed the hole time I was there;)

The Beautiful New York City Library

One of my nights in the city, a friend of mine and I hit up a photo exhibit displaying images captured by Chad Riley which brought many reflections into my mind both literally, and metaphorically. The benefit was held as a means to raise money for a media team to visit Thailand in hopes of shedding light on the injustice of sex trafficking in that country. As many of you know, last summer I worked on a photo project with teenage girls who have been rescued from sexual exploitation, so this issue is very close to my heart. It was great to be able to share in the NY art scene while supporting a cause I truly care about.
