May 1st, May Day is “Lei Day” in Hawaii. We celebrate with the giving of a lei, representing friendship, love or “just because.” Today, May Day in NYC meant a strike by the #OWS movement–the 99%. This caused quite the commotion in Union Square and followed me all the way home tonight when I got off the subway downtown. Where is the year going? Two weeks and school’s out–yay for May!
My last weekend of April, told through buildings. With buildings this high, I’m always small in this city.
Triple sharing this photo today. First taken for Coast to Coast, shared via my Instagram, and now posted here. Looking south towards the new World Trade Center in the making, also very close to where I live now and my new home for next year. All I do is school, but I’m glad that doesn’t stop me from capturing moments to share from my busy day.
What I see in my (sparkling) water bottle.
Art friends, Allie, Amy & I have had our little “Coast to Coast” blog project going for just about two weeks and I have to admit–I love it! We do a pretty good job keeping in touch, but now we can see what we are all looking at while being miles and miles away. A great little side thing just for us and anyone else interested in our journeys.
I love seeing California, even when I am not there. Pasadena, CA | April 11, 2012 | 9:30AM & 3:00PM photo by Alexandra Noel
March has flown by, and its finally APRIL. Where is time going? Aside from sleepless nights, busy days, and challenging my brain, I have had the pleasure to get together with good friends, Allie Noel and Amy Abito to compose our very own tumblr–Coast to Coast, a combination of photography and text taking you through our individual journey’s as artists and students.
Although separated by great distances, the three of us want to remain connected through the one thing that brought us together–art. Whether it is photography, design, or the art of writing, we not only want to make an effort to stay in touch with each other’s creative journey’s but share our experiences with family and friends.
Amy is the working girl, while Allie and I are “starving artists,” further defined by Allie as:
Pre-grad school: artist (n.) a person who practices any of the various creative arts, such as a sculptor, novelist, poet, or filmmaker…
Grad school: artist (n.) … +art critic, historian, writer, philosopher, psychologist, gas guzzler, gallery hopper, studio dweller, sandwich maker, and loan lover.
Expect to see some beautiful photos as these are two inspiring and creative ladies who got me through and encouraged me in San Diego. We are all equally excited to stay in touch and share what we see with all of you!
