I’ve been shooting less and less film these days, but film always reminds me of special memories and highlights. This 35mm roll started in late September and I just finished it in December. Here are a few highlights of the end of 2023:

In September, I took a couple of shots at the women’s Create Dinner. The theme was nostalgia reflecting on the days, colors, people, recipes and objects that stir up memories of our childhood. Each guest at the dinner contributed a talent including the florals, tablescape, the meal and wine, photography, and more. I contributed conversation questions for the table to reminisce on the playfulness of being a kid again. This was such a special event and I am so grateful I was able to be a small part of it. The first shot is of my new friend, Ene, a talented chef who made a delicious chocolate cake.
Bungalow East’s last event in September featured artists, Mer and Farrah Hannah on a rainy night in Rosa’s backyard in Williamsburg.
A couple of photos on my birthday sitting in Prospect Park reading and napping. A shot of my beloved birthday cake made by Monty. It was a favorite olive oil cake recipe that we decorated with farmer’s market flowers.
Neighborhood walks with friends in Brooklyn, Thanksgiving trip to Maine and New Hampshire with my aunt and cousins, Hope Tala’s performance at the Google store in Chelsea, and some last snaps in Austin on South Congress and Try Hard Coffee.
