last weekend was a little abnormal because i was home alone and matt was down in fairhope with his family. a friend was supposed to come stay with me for a girls weekend but it didnt work out, so i had a whole weekend to myself to walk around with my camera and explore!
i started the weekend off early on thursday buy going to see a friend’s art opening. the light was absolutely gorgeous that day so i couldnt help but snap some photos along the way…
(…the green is for you, nicole!)
down in chelsea there are all these huge warehouses that house art galleries…
our friend Glen Hansen was showing his new collection in the fischbach gallery. this guy is AMAZING, he has pieces in the metropolitan museum of art and everything! go check out his art here…if i had $40,000 i would have bought one on the spot!
the opening…
sarah, barb, and me…
sarah, barb, me and glen ( the artist himself!)
you can’t see it in this photo, but that cute little old lady had on red heart sunglasses…she was FIERCE! and her husband was an old hipster. they were so new york. i loved them.
on friday i took sarah to see “anything goes” for her belated birthday present.
…um…we LOVED this show. loved it. go see it. now.
on saturday after afro-jazz i took roxie to the park on a long walk and loved seeing signs of spring!
the rest of the weekend was spent mostly browsing some flea markets around the city…
including one of my favorites, “the garage”…obviously named because its in an actual parking garage!
i found some beautiful vintage children’s book (which i have been collecting forever) and proceeded to lug all 10 of them over to hell’s kitchen to check out the flea there…
…love the views from that flea!
so when i walked over to 10th ave to catch a cab home i remembered there was a church nearby that i had wanted to photograph, but was usually in a car driving by it and not able to stop and take photos. so since i had all the time in the world i walked over to the church and proceeded to take as many photos as i wanted, which made me very happy 🙂
the back of the church(yes, the back. the front is even more stunning)
the front…
and then a street cleaner asked me where i was from, because i sounded “european” and i laughed and hailed a cab and headed home 🙂
the weekend definitely wasn’t what i expected but it was a great time of relaxing and photographing and enjoying my city 🙂

Those are killer flea markets!
