These are some photos that I took of my cousin and his girlfriend as a going away gift to him. Since he is moving to the Dominican Republic and won't be seeing his girlfriend for a long time he was very happy to have these pictures to look back on.
At some points we felt like we weren't even in Port Jefferson.

We were so surprised on how a cute town could almost feel like were in a different place.

My cousin said "make pretend we took a little vacation to Mykonos.."
and just the thought of that was enchanting.
Anthony I hope you have enjoyed these photos, I had a beautiful time with you and Nicole.
I wish you guys a lot of genuine love and happiness.
I love you.

These pictures are from a photoshoot me and my friend Sasha had in june.
We had a really good time in this random little park that I found on my way to take the SATs.
My dad drove us to the park and he was a little confused as to why we were going there but eventually he went along with it.

picture quality is not so good so check out my myspace for better ones

my 1970's vitage bike that my dad painted for me.

Thanks again Sasha xo.

Remaking mom jeans..

These are actually very easy to make.

step 1:

Go to your local thrift store and find a perfect pair

of high waisted jeans (mom jeans).

make sure they fit well on the waist and it's not necessary

for them to be tight on the legs.

(These were only 6 bucks at Goodwill.)

step 2:

Fold the jeans so that all the seams line up.

step 3:

Cut the jeans about 4 inches from the center.

step 4:

Fold the jeans upwards twice, then iron them down so they'll stay in place.

Then voilà! You have the perfct pair of high waisted

shorts just in time for summer..

indie films.

I am almost pooping myself with excitement over

all the amazing indie films coming out this summer.

I'll give you a rundown on some of the ones

I'm very excited to see.

(500) Days of Summer:

This is a cute movie about a guy who falls in love with a girl named Summer but then she abruptly breaks up with him for no apparent reason. Sounds like my type of movie. Summer is played by Zooey Deschanel, and in real life she is engaged to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie. (sighhhhh)

Taking Woodstock:

This movie is based upon the book by the same name. Its about the epic Woodstock music festival that 400,000 people attended in 1969. The trailer makes the movie seem like a comedy at some points, but other than that I could tell this movie will be great and the soundtrack even greater.

Where the Wild Things Are:

My friend Ashley spoke to me about this film while shopping in U.O one day and I decided to do some research. Later I found out that Spike Jonze (..amazing commercials) is the Director of this whimsical masterpiece and Karen O the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs did the film score (a.k.a soundtrack). I can't wait to see this film, I yearn to feel like a little kid running through an imaginary forest (next new photo shoot inspiration?).

Away we go:

This film is about a cute indie couple getting preggers and traveling the U.S in order to find the perfect place to start a family. So anti- conformist in a very nice way.

Paper Heart:

Remember that quirky Asian girl in Knocked up? Well her name is Charlyne Yi and she co- wrote this romantic comedy staring Michael Sera and Seth Rogen (I know dreams do come true). Chuck which is played by Charlyne has trouble believing love exists so she travels around and asks random people what they think. And that's when Michael comes into the picture.

Any good movies excited about?

please share!

These photos are from an october photoshoot

that me and my friend Nicole had.

She generously agreed to model for

an advertisment project that I had to do.

I was very happy with the results and it was really fun experience.

(my favorite)

central park

Hello.

It's been a long time since the last time

I posted something up.

I will try my best to write about some of the

recent things I've been up to.

These are some pictures that my partners in style took

while in central park a couple weeks ago.

quality wasn't the best because they were taken

with a disposable camera.
