West Village, NYC - Fun little neighborhood that you can just imagine living in... tree-lined streets, hidden parks, birds singing and children playing. A little oasis in the midst of chaos.

Guggenheim Museum
Guggenheim Museum, NYC
So much happening lately... I just realized I hadn't posted these pictures from my trip to New York in January. Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I can't believe it took me 3 trips to New York before I got to see this building. It was a huge highlight. We were a bit disappointed that most levels were closed off because they were doing an installation. However, we did get to have a cappaccino and a macaroon in the cafe looking out over Central Park in the winter sunshine... so got to sit and really absorb the architecture, as it were!

New York Highline
New York - Highline - Both my travel companion and I had read about the Highline in design magazines, had wanted to visit it, and ended up stumbling across it as we exited the Meatpacking District. It was an elevated train line that they are in the process of converting into a landscaped elevated walkway. It's very cool... but I only grabbed a couple of shots with my Holga, as we were in a hurry to get to the airport. (Turns out we were both hours early for the airport, so could have spent more time here. Next time...)
Sidewalks of New York
New York - January/10 - The second roll of Holga film went slightly better than the first. I tried out black and white film... and the shots kind of turned out like 1900s NY... kind of fun!
New York - Holga
New York - January/10 - I had read about Holga cameras in a few places... and thought it looked like fun, a chance to view the world in a different way. A $30 toy camera that uses medium format film. I thought New York would be a great place to try out the new camera... though I should have practiced with it before I left. This cheap camera leaves a lot of room for error... back falling off, button for Bulb/Normal setting easily bumped, foam for holding film tight can come loose, forgetting to take the lens cap off, not having it on the right setting: Sunlight vs. Cloud. All of these things can and did happen on my first roll of color film. These are the only two shots that turned out. The rest are a mess of light leaks, unexposed film, messy film due to foam being rolled up inside.

MoMA
Museum of Modern Art, NYC - So happy with this photo... which proves to me that I don't always need sunny skies for outdoor photography. Cloudly days lend themselves well to moody photos, and photos out of the ordinary.
