My first take at making a stop-motion video!

This is a preview of a bigger project I worked on!

Enjoy! :)

I loved staying up to watch the sunrise. I remember late nights with childhood friends talking about dreams and hanging up posters of kittens. In college it was fun to stay out dancing and being girly with my girlfriends.

I don’t do this often anymore, but every now and then it’s fun to see the lights of the night into the morning.

~Like the lights of Max Fish on the Lower East Side~

~A very fun night with a new friend. *thanks Katy!*~

~Streetlights of my new neighborhood and a non-stop fire hydrant~

~Lights of street vendors near Union Square~

~and the moon light over 2nd Avenue~

~I finally learned how to create my own light show…~
(first time’s a charm!)

and of course, the first thing I thought about was love.

And hearts…

I made these into the morning light…
The sun and clouds created a spectacular show.

And as the city started to rise, I thought about resting.

Hope you had a great weekend. :)

Katy and I used to sing in a jazz band together in Iowa City. We became friends with a common love for music and theatre. Our “band” was interesting and had many performers rotating, but they were all awesome and wildly talented. I learned so much by just listening to everyone.

Considering our background, a Broadway show was certainly fitting! It wasn’t planned, but it was a welcome surprise after helping out my friends who had a long (very long and lost) journey to the city. Plus, what’s a weekend without a little “back and forth”? ;)

We went to La Cage and it was awesome! Kelsey Grammer wasn’t at our performance, but his understudy was a fantastic actor.

It was a very colorful show and the stage was very bright.

I loved the idea of getting some pink hearts!

Once I started with the hearts, I couldn’t stop!

Until it started pouring! But luckily we made it inside first!

After dinner, I had to show them this crazy, awesome row of Indian restaurants. These guys all fight to get you into their restaurant, claiming it’s “brighter!” It’s really fun. :-)

Anyway, aren’t they adorable?

So are we!

miss you ms. Richter! :)

Hope you had a wonderful summer vacation!

And it’s made it’s way to the city! Last night I went walking and thought about how lucky I am to have so many awesome people in my life!

These photos are for all of you and how you remind me that all you need is love. :)

Thank you.

I <3 you all!

**
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if traffic looked like this?

Stop! In the name of love…

or…walk to it!

I am in a city connected by bridges
I wish they all had lights of hearts…

Where will this path of hearts take me?

Maybe people would like Shell more if they were filled with hearts…

For those that love getting their nails done…

I wish the subway always greeted me with hearts!

Even Times Square felt the love…

So did the theatre!

Have a lovely day. :)
