close your eyes

...and darkness will become light...ah, i just read this on my friend's facebook page and i loved it. it kind of blew my mind. granted he is a total genius and many generations older than me. i saw him last night at his wife's art opening in chelsea. he's a big time photographer, but you would never know it. he was so supportive and proud of his partner and stepped out of the light and into her shadow...

i spent a good deal of time shooting with him this fall. i learned a lot from him. he's an aging hippie with very liberal views and such an interesting take on life. i really enjoy being around people who offer different perspectives and trying to understand where they are coming from...he is incredibly different and in such a good and challenging way.

last night i also spent some girl time with l. it's been so nice to get to know her better over the past year. we met through work under funny circumstances...i was being a terrible brat and she called me on it! i loved that she did that. it's nice to be able to chat about work and also our boyfriends in the same conversation. we both hail from connecticut and had our diamond studs on last night. we are connecticut through and through, but with a twist.

l is one of the core four crafters. we talked about our impending fire island craft weekend. we have to figure out something easy to get out there and fun to do. those gals better pack more wine than crafts!

and here we go for our first long weekend of the summer. k and i have 4 cook-outs. lots of different groups of friends...we were going to head to nj to see jlo's new digs but the thought of battling penn today and monday made me break out in hives. i kind of love the city on holiday weekends. it's so quiet and easy.

cheers to summer and white pants!
