Urban Life

So it's been some time since I last posted, work definitely got the best of me. So after yet another weekend spent working, I've decided to dip back into the mode of getting some writing done every night. Hopefully this will put me back on track. I decided to go a bit light with my first post back and brows through some of my street photography. One of the perks of city living is never feeling like you're alone. Well, that's actually both a perk and a curse, but today I'm focusing on the positive side of the coin.

Street photography has long been a passion of mine. I chalk it up to my some-what voyeuristic nature. The following pictures are from my wanderings in New York City. I've segmented them by location.

Childhood Innocence

Adults are obsolete children...
- Dr. Seuss

As a mom of 3 I love taking pictures of my little ones … but what mom doesn’t. Children have a way of interacting with the world in a carefree fashion that we, as adults, have long lost. Nothing can match the excitement and wonder of viewing something for the first time. Capturing my children allows me to experience those feelings again. The following are some of my favorites.

My Littles

Who I Am

Window Watching

Happiness

Spring Beauties

This Spring produced some really beautiful flowers. Even with my hay fever I wasn’t able to pass by a patch without snapping a shot or two. I was able to capture them from many different places. These are some of my favorites from my two biggest haunts.

Tulips

American Phlox

First picture sold!

I'm incredibly excited! Late last year, I decided to start sharing some photos I took. I have to say that I can see the awesome progress that I make and I find myself growing prouder and more confident with each photo. So, to feed this new obsession I started and Eyeem page and a few others. Well it turns out that I was able to submit some of my photos to the Getty stock images site and after months of no activity I received an email message saying that I had sold a picture! Although it wasn't for a large sum I was extremely happy that someone (other than myself) thought the picture was awesome. Here it is! It's part of a series that I call "The Human Condition". Here are some of my favorites from the collection. Oh! and in case you're wondering picture #3 is the one I've sold.
