My post for week 106 of my Side by Side photo project with Leslie.
Week 106 – Scamus and Amanda got married this past weekend and we were up in DC for the festivities! This is snap of a parachute that was over the courtyard where they got married to protect us form the sun. So lovely!
And…….a few photos from the wedding……..

Some catching up with my posts for the Side by Side photo project with Leslie. Soundtrack of this week……..Future Islands…….
Week 102 – Goodies from Scotland – Michaela came to visit, she brought goodies, mum sent goodies, it’s almost too much to take!
Week 103 – Chairs on the High Line – I walked The High Line with Michaela on friday before a wee bit of Soho shopping and I discovered these chairs that I didn’t see last time. Great colour combo, giving me paint ideas for the apartment
Week 104 – Bright Idea – Nothing too exciting this week, I was struggling to think of some ideas for a photo, then I lay down on my bed and there it was…..
Week 105 – Loaded Longboard – I tried out longboarding with the NYSG loved it and my new longboard is on it’s way!

My posts for weeks 100 and 101 of the Side by Side photo project with Leslie.
Week 100 – 100 weeks! pretty awesome that we’ve managed to keep going this long, here’s to the next 100! Best dance floor EVER – I was at my friend Tricia’s wedding last friday which was rescheduled from Saturday to avoid the hurricane – STRESS! Got some fun shots of everyone getting down on the LED illuminated dance floor! yeah!
Week 101 – Lake Winnipesaukee – Not the most exciting photo from the weekend, but we did a crazy hike up Mount Major and were rewarded with an amazing view across the lake including a view of Keniston Island where we were staying. We called the neighbours and had them signal us by reflecting the sunlight on a mirror, very cool!

These photos are appearing everywhere, but I thought I’d add my favouites to the photography blog as all I seem to add these days are side by side photos. So we spent out labor day weekend in the wilds of New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee. First vacation in 15 months, and first trip out of the city since moving here. It was great to see all things green, and Diego was in heaven running around with no leash on all weekend, he even got to try swimming and was very unimpressed. Here are some of the photo highlights……

and a failed attempt at wakeboarding! but have been doing youtube research so am all set for next year! the problem was no one really knew what to do!
The rest of the photos can be found here.

My posts for weeks 98 and 99 of the Side by Side photo project with Leslie.
Week 98 – Lady Liberty – Scott and Katie came to visit, we went on the Staten Island Ferry, drank cheap beer and got this nice shot of the lady herself!
Week 99 – EARTHQUAKE! there was an earthquake just south of DC we got quite the shake up here, was scary! we haven’t had earthquake evacuation training though so no one really knew what to do. eventually we went out the emergency exit, I laughed at the sign! Oh and this is Rebecca!

My posts for weeks 95-97 of the Side by Side photo project with Leslie.
Week 95 – Zombie! Perhaps a little random this week, but we had a wee bit of a bowling party for one of our lab mates who is leaving. We bought some sticky toys (including eyeballs) from gumball dispenser things and this is what happened!
Week 96 – Bare Bulb! This is from the bathroom in one of my favourite neighbourhood bars I enjoy the concrete, that’s all really! oh and we can bring diego there, so we go a lot!
Week 97 – There are all sorts of treasures at the Brooklyn Flea and the vintage cameras have to be my favourite! a touch of ye olden days on the edit and this is what you get…..

My posts for weeks 92 and 93 of the Side by Side photo project with Leslie.
Week 92 – Sharp as a knife – Not the best photo in the world, I took it half hanging out the window with my zoom lens because I was too lazy to go downstairs. This is an old hipster van that drives around the neighbourhood every few weeks to see if you need any of your knives sharpening, so old school, so awesome!
Week 93 – Magical Unicorns – This a quick snapshot of a boarded up building that is being worked on, you can see the permits on the left hand side and center. Luckily some artist decided that the plain old boards needed to be spangled up and put these lovely unicorns there.

My posts for weeks 89-91 of the Side by Side photo project with Leslie. Yes I’m busy and not managing to keep up every week, but it’s more fun to see 3 at once!
Week 89 – Strewth, we’re under attack – This one is for you Leslie, taken at the Renegade Craft Fair. Do you come from a land down under?
Week 90 – The High Line -Really cheating this week, this is a photo of a billboard *gasp* but I thought it was better than any of the photos I took. So we went to check out The High Line which is just opened a new section. It’s a park built on an old railway that is a few stories off the ground and runs between buildings and pretty close to apartment windows. It’s such a great idea, and so awesomely designed. It was super crowded but really worth the trip it was crazy busy up there and I felt a little bit like a salmon swimming upstream at times and it was hard to take photos without blocking the path or getting swept up by the crowds. This billboard picture was of the high line before it was turned into a park and if you check out the webpage you can see some of the after pics.
Week 91 – Which came first? – we have been growing some red chili seeds that came pre-planted in this egg, we thought nothing was going to grow but suddenly the egg began to sprout. I used my newly updated softboxpro app that now has colours to cast some green light onto the egg. I’m pretty pleased with the result, but I could have done with an assistant to hold the ipad while I set up the shot.

My posts for weeks 87 and 88 of the Side by Side photo project with Leslie.
Week 87 – Blacklight – As part of the Memorial Day Weekend Drink Fest we went to The Bushwich Country Club to sample their tasty pickle back and some cheesypoofs that they have on the bar! yum! Anyhoo, the bathroom has a black light so all the graffiti glows. I enjoy the “+ other parts”
Week 88 – SoftboxPro iPad App – My attempt at something a little bit Art Class. I found this awesome iPad softbox/lightbox app that allows you to choose from various patterns/shapes to illuminate objects. I though this glass mug would be a good subject to highlight the lightbox part of my photo and not the object. I enjoy the simplicity of the lightbox with no pattern, but had trouble choosing between this one and another with the overhead light casting some orange into the shot.
