THE END

Dear New York,

            I love you; I wish id appreciated you more from the beginning. But I guess it means more now that I realize how special you are. You brought me to such amazing people. You helped me appreciate where I’m from and who I am. You taught me that i will be okay leaving home next year. I thank you for giving me a great July. 

                     Sincerely,

                                                                                              Huffy. 

Saturday july 24th- Sunday july 25th

HI so its monday of my last week. can you believe its my last week? Cuz i can't. I'm sososososososo excited to come home and see everyone and sleep in my bed and snuggle with my dog. [Jake Schlosberg is sitting next to me, he wants me to say he's adorable.]


Saturday I went to long island, to visit Alexandra Spergel otherwise known as Sperg, or Ally, with the occasional Alex. We drove around with her friend and ran a bit of errands and took a little nap. Ally had a few friends over so i could meet everyone.  It was weird getting asked about LA. My favorite question was
"How far are you from the city?"
"Uh... the whole thing is the city"
[confusion] 
"So do you live in an apartment?'
"No i live in a house."
[more confusion]
"Oh, cool"
It was weird being "exotic" or from a distant land, makes me realize i need to get out more. Her friends were all nice.
Ps. Sperg's backyard is crazy beautiful, the picture is from sunday morning, it was 100 degrees and raining. 


Sunday we went to borders and i got a giant book of pictures of Marilyn Monroe for like 7 dollars, i need to go get more books was all it made me realize. Then we cuddled and listened to the rain and read our books [i got a real book too]. Then when it stopped raining we got salads and went for a bike ride, and had a mini photoshoot. Then i hooped on my train and reunited with my roomie Devin. 

Thursday july 22-Friday july 23

SOOOOO today [yesterday] i went to the HighLine with my class [http://www.thehighline.org/], which is a railroad turned into a garden. It's incredible, some of the benches have wheels and you can roll on the track. Its almost weird to see plants in NY. 


Today which is actually friday, I'm taking a break from working on my final project, you cant stare at the same picture for too long or you fuck it up. I feel so much more confident in my editing skills. I was also surprised that a lot of the stuff i had been doing was "correct". Its weird to see a picture and like it and then make it pretty, then go back to the original and it be totally different. I guess its just seeing the potential. I cannot wait to learn more about this world that is photography/ 

Ps, Angie if my mother is making you read this, yes i am shooting in RAW

Tuesday july 12

so my class went to the natural history museum, it wasn't the funnest of places to shoot, so we wandered around the upper west side and settled in central park. Where i took a million and one pictures of Ally, who is my beautiful friend that i hangout with in my photography class. After class i had my photoshoot which was a success, i cant wait to start editing them. [photo on the right is part of my photoshoot]

Sunday july 18th

So i haven't done a whole lot this week, worth writing about. Mostly just class and walking around new york. I went to MAMA MIA on broadway, it was so much fun. I have a shoot set up for tomorrow. Its going to be amazing.
