MY NEW BLOG! - Sleep Is For the Weak

I'm collaborating with my friend and fellow blogger Mara (I mentioned her in an earlier post). You can check out her blog at tumblr. The blog is about a sleep experiment Mara and I will be doing over the break. With all the work and studying to do and fun we want to have, we find it hard to get everything done during the short days. Our solution is simple don't sleep or rather don't sleep at normal standards. The blog will be updated daily on both blogspot and tumblr. Check it out!

Another cool blog that I'm involved in is Emerson College's Research Writing Medellín Project.  It's a collaboration or Emerson students, Duke students, and Colombian artists to create peace through art in Medellin, Colombia.

People waiting in line at the Port Authority Bus Terminal

The line was wicked long for the NYC to Boston buses. Since there is such a big crowd during the holidays, the Greyhound/Peter Pan buses just run buses all day instead of having actual schedules buses. It was so INTENSE!

Polaroid #14 - Lady Liberty

Readers, thank you kindly for following my blog. I'd be much obliged if you continue to stop by daily and keep telling everybody about the blog. Comments are most welcome.

This past Saturday, I attended an end of the year party hosted by Robin Erb Skincare.  You should check out Robin Erb's website for great beauty tips and her products.

 View of the Statue of Liberty from the New York Shore

The monument is the most left object in the frame. The big statue looks surprisingly small on the Polaroid.  A different perception of "Liberty".

Polaroids of New York ON SALE

This project has peaked my interest in the art of Polaroid photography. I've been  a huge chunk of spending my free time researching the resurgence of people taking Polaroid pictures.  When I think about it, it's actually not that far-fetched for a riding trend in using instant film when it's about to die.  Everyone loves retro; it's cool, it's arts-y, it shows you have intellect (supposedly).

I stumbled on this website where a guy was selling Polaroids of New York for anywhere from $5 USD to $50 USD.  Now that might seem a bit price-y, but then again, who can put a dollar sign to a dying art?  Joe, the photographer, will mail anyone a picture of anything in New York.  He lists sites such as Coney Island, Brooklyn Bridge, the view from the top of the Empire State building to everyday things like rush hour traffic jam, snobby upscale art gallery, and his apartment.
