In the dark class of my college years, where the only bit of light came from the slides of Van Eyck and Thiebaud, Dr. Ivy Copper gave writing assignments. A unison grown arose from the room of Art Majors. Her rebuttal was always the same...

"You must know how to write for gallery openings, Artist Mission Statements, and general communication. You can't go through life without knowing the difference between 'its and 'it's' because you paint or take pictures."

A few weeks ago Travis and I came home from a weekend world-wind of a wedding in Chicago and 2 engagement sessions in New York City completely exhausted with joy and excitement. We ate Dinges with Spekuloos, saw the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero, stood in Time Square and visited St. Peter. I photographed couples in Central Park and on cobble streets. There is so so much to share but my writing skills fail me and all I hear is Dr. Ivy Cooper's voice.

So I've made a nice neat list of that weekend in Chicago and NY...

Paul and Alyse are awesome.

So are their friends and family. Stephanie, I love you.

NY is crazy busy in a beautiful way. It's hard to get a cab and the people are nice.

I like Dinges. If you didn't click on the above link, please do before your mind wonders:) 

and I ::adore:: Spekuloos. Sigh.

There are a lot of lights in Time Square.

Central Park is prettier than a dream.


Thank goodness for pictures:) I can not wait to show you more from the engagement sessions but here are some sneaks until then...

and some personal instants.
Now start getting ready for Paul and Alyse's Wedding post!!
