note from brooklyn/yelena yemchuk

Just back in the US and am shooting Yelena Yemchuk's loft today! Perfect way to spend a rainy day...a quick shot from my iPhone.

I have been staying with one of my dearest friends and her family in Brooklyn for the past few days and I have to say, it is a beautiful thing to know someone since you were 22. How else are you able to watch the evolution of a person from a wild young 21 year old to a mother of two.  To witness a consistency through it all is even more remarkable, and yet, that is what I see every time I am with her and her family.  An innate trueness to who she. Who she always has been. Her home is as consistent as she is. Always flea market and a bit of a carnival...a bit of craziness...in the best possible way. As you can see here. For the record, her daughter put the hat on the horse.

I was sifting through scouting pics the other day, planning my trip to NY in September. There are a couple of really great places I am going to shoot and this is one of them (more details later). I love this shot of Sasha streaking across the frame...
