Metropolitan Museum of Art

Some photos from my trip to The Met on my birthday this February. I enjoy going at least once a year - I feel it refreshes my mind and helps inspire me to be more productive.

Yesterday my boyfriend, Frank and I decided to take a drive to some farms to get pumpkins and other fun fall goodies. The day was a little chilly - and the sky was gray and overcast but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I have a tradition of finding the most misshapen pumpkin in the field to bring home because it's unlikely anyone else would have picked it. It's kinda dumb, but I always love my ugly lumpy pumpkins!

Trip to Outer Banks, NC

I had the pleasure of spending a few days of my summer in North Carolina's Outer Banks with my boyfriend and his family. It was about a 10 hour ride to get from New York to our destination - and although the end result was quite fun I don't know that I'd necessarily be willing to take such a long drive in one shot again. I'm always a little scared to bring our camera onto the beach because I don't want sand to get into anything, but I decided to brave it on this trip and I'm pretty happy with the results. I hope you enjoy some of the shots I took!

24th Birthday - The Metropolitan Museum of Art

It's once again that time of year everyone hates (at least on the East Coast) - the holidays are over and the snow keeps dumping on us; there are no longer any presents or pretty lights to soften the cold, early in the morning as you scrape off your windshield. And yet, February is the month of my birthday and so I am forced to make the best of it! I think I've started to enjoy this frigid time of the year because I've conditioned myself to - but it could also have to do with my general hermit-like nature.

I had a nice breakfast with my family before we got very bundled up (I'm obsessed with my cat hat I just bought) and headed out. I decided the Met was a good choice - relaxing, warm, quiet and beautiful. It was also a great place to practice with my camera. The lighting was a little difficult to work with because it changed so drastically from room to room, but I think I got a few good shots! I hope you guys like them!
