Mr. Manhattan
One of my favorite records is the soundtrack to Woody Allen’s classic black and white film Manhattan, with the epic Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin. Sometimes when I walk the streets of New York I’ll listen to this song and watch the city pace to it’s beat. I don’t believe a place has ever been captured more accurately than though those musical notes. James Nord and I recreated George Gershwin in front of his 33 Riverside Drive penthouse where his rooftop parties started an era of glamor in the Jazz Age. Maybe this is what it was like to meet Mr. Gershwin on the streets in his Manhattan.
Images were shot on two film cameras, Hasselblad 500C and a Toyo View Camera with Kodak Tri-X 400 film
For James, Happy Birthday and thank you ever so…

Today is my Birthday. I feel really lucky this year. I have met and made friends with some wonderful people, I have a fulfilling and rich home life that I say thanks for everyday, and I have the best family back home in Texas a girl could wish for. I am supported, loved and cherished and though I can’t imagine being any happier than I am now, I truly believe the best is yet to come. Thanks to everyone- Family, friends, co-workers, strangers, and future acquaintances for coming to my blog everyday looking at my work and leaving those marvelous comments. Here’s to us all~
PS- We made my birthday cake last night to start off today with (breakfast of champions or birthday girls). I’ve been waiting months after seeing this confetti cake post on Dessert Girl!
Oh.. and.. Today is Texas Independence Day. That’s right- more Texas love!
