Wolf Sanctuary

Birthdays come around once a year, and although it's a reminder of getting older, it's also a chance for us to celebrate the small miracle of being alive.

This year, I chose to do something a little bit different. I came across the Wolf Conservation Center a little while ago when researching activities in New York state. They have overnight programs every weekend during the summer months, where you not only learn about the wolves and their relationship to the environment, but you also get to camp among them for the night.

Christmas Weekend Hike

When people think of New York, they usually think of New York City and its five boroughs. Not many people know that if you venture even one hour outside of Manhattan, there are countless opportunities to be united with mother nature. After living in the city for the past year and a half, I've been lucky enough to know and experience what life is like outside of the concrete jungle.

Adventures in Film

Although I am primarily a digital shooter, I've always been fascinated by film and its nostalgic quality. It has a permanence to it that doesn't exist in DSLR photography, which means we have to be that much more deliberate with what we choose to capture. This past weekend, J and I took his new film camera out for a spin. Armed with his trusty prime lens and some great film recommended by a friend (Kodak Portra 160), we set off into the chilly streets of New York's West Village to test out the first roll.
