the weight is over

hi guys! i’m sorry i haven’t been around much lately. as you know i’ve been trying to de-clutter my life and see what’s left once all the excess is gone.

i haven’t forgotten about the giveaway and have a ton of stuff to ship out to you!

i had to take a detour from my laser focus to go to nyc for a couple days and that threw me off a bit, but i did fill my suitcase from stuff i was hoarding there. i’ve been so controlled by my stuff, even now, i’m looking at it and it’s daunting.

it seems like i can find every excuse in the book to do anything but work on projects i’ve been putting off and i can’t seem to get out from under.

by the by, all these shots were taken in nyc this week. graffiti is so fleeting, i love to capture it.

even though i fight coming back to the city that was home for the past 20 years, there’s always something new to enchant.

if you haven’t been over to the meatpacking district, you may be surprised to see the new park that’s been built above the city using the old elevated railroad and subway tracks.

it’s a whole new dimension and ny’ers have taken to it like it’s always been there.

i feel like i know every nook and cranny of the city, so it’s great to see it from another angle.

it’s an incredible project, there’s even a sort of ampi-theater in the air with big glass walls hanging over the street.

anyway, back on the street it was biz as usual

indulging my passion for window boxes

and little surprises.

it was great to see ny in full bloom

how perfectly coordinated it can be

not to mention luscious. i didn’t want the little trip to go by with these photos just sitting in another folder. from now on it’s use em or lose ’em. god, i’m getting brutal with excess on every level. what’s going on with me?

anyway i’m back in miami for as long as i can take it, and determined not to be deterred again. my only obligation is to do the work that i love and accomplish something, i don’t have a deadline or anything looming so i can just exhale and relax for once. i don’t know how you moms do it all. well, first things first is to send out this box of goodies. i’ll get your addresses from the comments you left. hope you like the stuff and put it to better use than i did! i’m glad to be home with some nights to myself. i really missed you guys! now, back to it!
