The count down is done and for most people the pressure is on to keep and maintain their New Year’s resolutions.

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions my goal list is constant.  It’s reviewed and updated every six months with the French girls and I’m counting down the days until I see them!

My personal projects slowed down this year because of my travel schedule but I still found small pockets of time to learn and challenge myself to grow.

These images were taken this summer at a workshop in Maine and even though my progress has been slow I’m happy with the results.

What are you making time for in 2012?  I will definitely find more time for my photography!

Thanks to Tamara and all the wonderful ladies I met in Bar Harbor this past Summer, it was truly a pleasure!

Wishes for a wonderfully creative and prosperous New Year!

It has been a very Ladurée Christmas in New York.

Receiving, enjoying, waiting, and giving…

I hope your Christmas was just as tasty and sweet.

Happy Holidays!

 I usually eat at the same places.

I’m adventurous but I like to be sure of the quality of my food.

My neighborhood cafe will be opening a second location soon.

I think the workers and residents of NoMad (North of Madison Square Park) will be very happy when this cafe is ready for business.

I’ll let you know when the doors open.

I haven’t had time to process the photos from my Canon and it may not happen until the holidays.

But in the interim I wanted to share a few more iPhone photos.

These polaroids are fun.

This was an amazing trip…

I’m thankful I was able to take time off and discover this region of the country.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

I upgraded to the iPhone 4S because my previous iPhone powered down every time data was downloading.

Not ideal for someone who loves their iPhone camera.

Thankfully my new iPhone arrived just in time to join me for a few days off.

I normally use the iPhone with a Polaroid effect but this was my first time using the camera and the countryside is so beautiful I shot straight from the camera, no special effects.

Not bad for a camera phone!

Enjoy!
