The Photodiarist

Natalie Massenet

Milan: Via Alserio

Inspiration: I know that you are all "fashioned out" so to speak, but I don't consider this a 100% fashion photo but rather a portrait of business woman whom I admire tremendously - Natalie Massenet, founder and CEO of Net-A-Porter. For a color photo, check out The Photodiarist in Color.  Geez - she looks so trim and chic . . . which reminds me, I need to go to the gym now. This morning will be my first time on a treadmill in months.  Months and months and months, actually. And now I feel gross! I blame overwork, an overwhelming desire to sleep in every morning, slippage down the road of unhealthy eating, laziness and so on but whatever the case, I've experienced some jiggling here and there that has me freaked out and now totally inspired to unjiggle myself ASAP. 

Rocksteady!

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: Did I say I was off the internet? Well . . . I am waiting around for my car to head to the airport and so wanted to post this photo! This guy is a regular in the park. Always rocking out. Always. Again -- Happy Holidays everyone!  I am out for reals this time. See you next week.

Canoodling in Central Park, Pt. II

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: I've gone back to my covert photography . . . at least for now. Happy Holidays everyone. I will be off the internet until after Christmas! BTW, I hope you get some good canoodling in this holiday season!

Canoodling in Central Park

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: Aww . . . love this. 

Captured

Paris: Place de la Concorde

Inspiration: The relationship between a photographer and the subject of the photograph is often momentary but still so fascinating.  There's a subconscious trust and give and take that is critical to the whole process of photographing and being photographed

At Paris Fashion Week: Reflections

Paris: Rue de Castiglione

Inspiration: Love her glasses (even though I can see myself in a most unflattering stance taking her photo) and her oversized clutch.  

Life is Beautiful . . . Especially on A Friday

New York: Nolita

Inspiration: Life is Beautiful . . . especially on a Friday after a long week.  Happy weekend everyone.

An Extravaganza of Prints and Patterns

New York: Lincoln Center

Inspiration:  I'm loving the word "extravaganza" these days. Don't ask me why 'cause I couldn't tell you.  I just fall in love with how certain words sound, you know? In any event, this photo seemed a perfect opportunity to use it. What an extravaganza of prints and patterns already!
