on your doorstep

Brooklyn has a bunch of old fashioned businesses that still survive, like the knife sharpener that drives around in a truck with a bell, just like the ice cream man. This seltzer and soda truck is often parked in front of our house in the mornings, with bottles piled high.

busily engaged

I've been quite terrible about shooting this month, which is evident by my empty desktop... usually when I'm in the middle of things, I've got random files strewn about the screen. But note the bottom right icon... we're going to be planning a wedding! :)

sebastian

We've been cat sitting for Matt and Emma's two cats while they're away. Sebastian and I have become good friends, despite my allergies, and he even meows after each of my sneezes.

Off to the New Pornographers show at Battery Park now and then rooftop fireworks viewing on the LES. Happy Fourth.

grass underfoot

Here's hoping that the weather tomorrow for the 4th will be just as nice as it was over the weekend when we spent hours and hours barefoot in the park.

night falls on hoboken

I never really loved Hoboken when I lived there, but that place has some amazing sunsets. Shot this from Jen's window this evening... while we drank (very) cheap wine, ate Thai take-out for dinner and kept her company as she avoided packing for her big move to Snow Country. I'm going to miss having her nearby.
