Some Bunny Love

I know. I'm sorry. They were just too cute not to share. If you know me at all, even a tiny bit, you understand why I couldn't resist blogging this :)
You can blame The Daily Bunny.

Little Moments

I was going through all my old photos, trying to organize them so it'd be somewhat easy to find things in the future, and I came across this series that I took of my plants and this adorable little bird I had bought in a store in Connecticut, using a 60mm Micro Nikkor lens back when I first bought my Nikon D90. There's something about each of these photos that makes me smile, so I just had to share them.

Typeface

Typeface is a documentary film about the Hamilton Wood Type Museum, a Midwestern museum and print shop dedicated to the history and artform of letterpress. Directed by Justine Nagan and produced by Kartemquin Films, the film was just released on DVD on May 28th, so I haven't had a chance to see it yet. But based on the clips I've seen and the designs made to promote the film, I can't help but get excited about it! I really hope to see it soon though, and I hope you want to as well... check out their site to learn more!

Early 1900's Photography

These are just a few examples from an early 1900's photographic collection, put together by a man named Albert Kahn. Representing cultures and locations from all over the world, each photograph offers a glimpse into another place and time, resulting in sometimes hauntingly beautiful moments.

e-decor, anyone?

This is a fun and cheap way to get decoration help for those of you who have a hard time designing spaces within your home. I Heart Design by Avenue offers an online alternative to the often times costly process of interior decoration. Through a simple 6 step process, you can select a style, the room you want to re-decorate, and provide some direction of what you're looking for, and the three women who run this business will create a customized design package specifically for you and your room. With their trade discounts, you can get a decent deal not only on their design services, but on the actual pieces of furniture. Go to their site to read through their process more thoroughly - if only I had a place of my own to get their help with. Someday...

Poppies & Posies

I just found my dream come true. Poppies & Posies is a "boutique floral and event design firm" here in NYC started by two women who share a love for "design, flowers, and parties." I love the composition of textures, colors, and shapes in all their work, including unusual elements like mushrooms and moss. This inspires me to experiment with the artistic display of plants in my own home, and I hope I can someday share my floral designs with others and plan parties the way Poppies & Posies does!

OCC in the house

Last Friday (May 21, 2010) Orange County Choppers came by our office in DUMBO to deliver our very own Domani Studios chopper! It was pretty awesome... with Paul Sr. cruising down the street, the bike seemed normal, but once you sit a short (that's me) to average height person on it you realize just how much of a monster their creations really are. I could barely reach the handle bars (that's the reason for my facial expression). It was a trick to get the bike onto the cargo lift in our building's garage (it's a good thing we even had one), and now it's sitting in the waiting area of our office, where on average 5 people a day can't help but take a seat.
