Time flies, or so the saying goes. Such are my sentiments regarding this year which seems to have gone as quickly as it arrived. Despite having done so much these past 365 days, I can not begin to understand why it feels as short as it does.


A year full of demands, stresses, lack of time, and unreasonable expectations, I conclude are the perfect recipe to 'frazzle" one up and bring about the kind of angst, which sits in one's belly like a heavy stone and quickens the heart's palpitations to out of control rhythmic waves River Phoenix would have been proud of.

Worrying it seems superseded all other feelings this past year and I can't help but wonder how the fuck it is that I made allowance for such a downward spiral. When was it that everything around me became so much more important than that of my core?

"Let go of more", has been my mantra as of late. I find myself reciting it, over and over again, in my head, "let go of more", "let go of more"...oftentimes to no avail but it is beginning to finally stick and slowly but surely I am coming around.

It is those words of newfound wisdom which I plan to make my New Year's resolution.

I am taking next year by the balls and making it my bitch.

First Presbeterian Church Fifth Ave

First Presbeterian Church 5th Ave.jpg

I had the opportunity today to shoot the First Presbyterian Church on Fifth Avenue after hours.

It was eerie and tranquil experience to sit on the black walnut pew alone with my camera during the wee hours of the night with not a single soul in sight.

The Gothic Revival building was designed by Joseph C. Wells and inspired by St. Saviour at Bath, England, and the crenellated central entrance tower on the Magdalen tower at Oxford.

The interior décor perfectly captured the spirit of Christmas. I was totally unprepared for the opportunity and wished I had a tripod at hand.

The picture shown was one of the better ones I was able to get considering the low amount of light available.

I love how the vibrant green moss on the trunk is framed by the texture-less whiteness of the snow.
