vampires

Wrapped my movie tonight. It was lots of fun, but I'm excited to get more than 5 hours of sleep.

Peter Pan Donut Shop

Jen was visiting and we went and had donuts in Greenpoint. It's the best donut shop! A least in NY. And there was this awesome guy.



And he was wearing a Def Leppard T-Shirt!

Sunrise.

This is a photo of the sunrise I took on my way home from my friend Katy's shoot. We shot from 8:15pm until 6am two days in row. It was awesome. I woke up at 4pm! It was strange having breakfast at dinner time. I started to feel like a vampire. Getting me in the mood to shoot my film! Yay!

The first shoot of the semester. My classmate Marc directing. I had to wake up at 3:30am so we could be in Old Greenwich, CT by sunrise. I was so sleepy, but it was a fun day. Here's some photos I took.

The Trucks played in Brooklyn!

Fun with sky and clouds

Fun with light and buildings

Calvin

It's good to know that not everyone in our house is stressed.

Schoolza makin' me crazy

I took this while I was outside panicking about my script. Made me feel better for like 5 seconds.

I'm totally obsessed with this building. Thinking about how to work it into the film somehow.

I'm also totally obsessed with the spaces on the wall of the subway station where they've pulled off and repasted a million ads and painted and repainted. They look like abstract paintings.

This is actually ripped off tile, but I love it somehow. Perhaps this makes me crazy.

But not as crazy as when I was obsessed with sureptitiously taking pictures of interesting people on the subway.

cat colony

There's this crazy house around the corner from our apartment. It looks like a haunted mansion or the house in grey gardens. The yard is overgrown and full of cats. On a warm day my nostrils burn from cat pee smells from across the street. Still, I often go out of my way to walk past it so I can peek through the wrought iron fence and catch a glimpse of one of the dozens of grizzled kitties napping under the broken cars.

More pictures from Cold Spring

It's not that I haven't done anything this week, but I guess the most "picturesque" things I've seen were on the location scout. I guess that's a good sign.

The city's not so big

Last weekend I went on a location scout to Cold Spring, NY. It's just an hour train ride north of Manhattan. Could it be more different? It's crazy how the scenery looks like this even just fifteen minutes out of the city. Oh, and that body of water is not the "Cold Spring", it's the Hudson River! I've never seen it look so...not brown.

I'm melting!

Oh my god, summer is going by so fast! And soon I will be in Seattle/Bellingham! Can't wait! It gets so hot here sometimes it seems like the buildings are melting.

Amanda

It's also been fun spending time with Amanda. Here she is when we were taking a break at a sidewalk cafe. We had FIVE pugs with us!

Simon!

I've been dogwalking a bit to help out my friend (and subject of my short documentary project for school last winter) Amanda. It's fun, but exhausting. So nice to be around puppies, though. I miss them from the pet store years. :)

I took this photo with my phone and now I can't stop taking silly photos of the city. It's usually when I miss my friends. So I thought I'd start a stupid blog to show you these photos I take when thinking of you. If you want to see them.
