news!

untitled (me) by matias aguilar.


i've been inconsistent with posts, but i don't want any more time to pass before i call attention to a couple of very cool sites:

zovig's callastyle site: you can find out more about her, and her image consulting business. there's also a link to her truly fashion -"inspired" blog -- she'll have you contemplating style, and help you confidently embrace your own.

matias' photography site: humor and melancholy. evocative stillness. vintage and modern. gritty. reflective. those words come to my mind when i see his photos. take a look, take some time. see if you agree. perhaps you'll have more, better words to describe them.
in the end, i hope you'll enjoy them as much as i do.
visit his blog to see who's influencing and inspiring him.

he took these photos of me a few years ago, in what will forever be one of my favorite places--my old studio on jane street. he captured a couple of "moods," which i very much appreciate.

Thanks for finding a liking in my pictures and some of my posts!
It really was a fun shoot. But the truth is, that you came up with the idea of how you wanted your picture taken. Once you had made the decision, I just dropped by and took the picture. There were a handful of sessions with close friends and fellow artist that I took this way - asking each of the models to come up with the idea for the backdrop of their portrait. It was fun to let you guys decide. This particular shoot was always one of my favorites if not my favorite.Thanks, again.

...Btw I am having bloggers block myself. But it's OK for now. At least bringing up summer as an excuse always works.
I am playing tennis over Labor Day weekend. Except for one little tennis workout last year I haven't played for a long, long time, at least 10 years. How is your game these days?

I'm in love with these photos by Matias. They're amazing, they make your room look gigantic, and the really bring out that delicious orange color of your bedding. And you just look contemplative, comfy, cozy, and content in your own space.

That's a good photo.
