Walking On Sunshine Mandala Hoodie

Happy Spring everybody! It's been a little while, but I'm so glad to be back to this blog. To celebrate the season I bring lots of color! Sometimes you come up with your best ideas when your drifting off to sleep. There's something about that moment right before you drop off that can bring on an unexpected surge of creative. Back in school my thesis was a 12 minute piece of modern dance group choreography. I remember sticking paper on the wall so I could write movement phrases in the dark and remember them in the morning. Sometimes I would dream them. Of course there was also that hilarious moment when I missed the paper altogether and wrote on the dorm room wall! :)  I think any artist will tell you that when inspiration strikes you have to jump on it or the moment passes. 

The Walking on Sunshine Mandala Hoodie is available from XS to 5XL. Please allow about 10 days for it to ship out because it's made to order. It's a wonderful layer for Spring or to wear at night during Summer music festivals or camping. It also makes a groovy Mother's Day gift for your hippie Mom. 

It's the coziest time of the year and what better way to celebrate than with a frothy delicious warm drink. For a while there it seemed like Summer was sticking around for the rest of the year, but now we are firmly in the Autumn season with lovely cool days, knitted wears and yummy hearty food. My drink of choice is a cup of matcha almond vanilla latte, with a bit of whip. :) What is your favorite? 

I've literally gone from Fall to Fall as my last blog entry was September of last year. Impending motherhood kept me away from blogging, but now that my little one has arrived and we've entered into an agreed upon routine :), I'm back and thrilled to share some of my latest. 

Her are some other delightful mugs for your warm beverages. Keep them in mind for the holidays as they make excellent gifts. Receive an automatic 15% discount when you buy a set of 2, 20% OFF when you buy 4! :)

Summer Beauty Square Card

If you're a little bit old school like I am then you can appreciate the joy of receiving real mail. I don't mean junk mail or bills, I'm referring to postcards, cards, invitations, greetings and the occasional (gasp!) actual handwritten letter! I still have a box of about seventy letters that I received throughout the years. Pages and pages of thoughts, impressions and experiences from dear friends an family. I go back and read them and marvel at who has lovely penmanship and who has a way with words and makes me laugh. With all of this in mind, I've created a little card shop where you can shop for beautiful art cards to send your own thoughts, impressions and sentiments.

One of my favorites is this shot of a sunflower against a deep blue sky. I photographed this 'Summer Beauty' in a vast field in Vermont, which is usually associated with winter skiing and snow covered mountains. Vermont in the Summer is absolutely stunning. So lush and green with splashes of color in the form of abundant blooming sunflowers, black eyed susans, daisies and lilies. If you've never been, definitely consider it for future trips.

Did you have your veg today? If these beauties don't make your mouth water and reach for some fresh produce I don't know what will. So, grab some cukes, zukes or whatever deliciousness floats your boat and chow down! :)

These were photographed at farmer's markets, but I do hope to grow some of my own next year. In the past I've had luck with peppers, tomatoes and a variety of herbs. Urban gardening can be easy and very satisfying if you have the right guidance and it feels amazing to eat or cook something you picked right outside your window. It's also great for the environment to bring all those beneficial critters right into your garden. What have you been growing lately?

Flowers may seem a commonplace subject to photograph, but their infinite variety, shape and color make them irresistible. Here are four beauties I encountered recently. Oddly enough, the poppies are actually satin.  I was mesmerized by a fly that kept coming back to perch on them. The flower had no fragrance, yet still it was madly attracted to it. I'll say I'm the same way. Whether they are in a vase, a field, garden or a bouquet, flowers are the bee's knees.

OneDayOneImage at the Brooklyn Collective - Summer 2015

Gorgeous weather today in the lovely neighborhood of Red Hook and that's where I found myself setting up my wares at the Brooklyn Collective. This is my second time at one of the loveliest shops in the borough and I'm thrilled to join the marvelous group of current artists and designers. I hope to feature a few of them in this blog in the upcoming months gearing up to the holidays.

Prints, Throw Pillows, Canvases, Totes and more.

If you are in the Brooklyn area swing by to check out my selection of retro art photography cards, matted prints, canvases, throw pillows and more. I'll be adding new items and photos regularly.

In addition to having a riotous time setting up my display, I also purchased a delicious lemon hand poured soy candle by Brooklyn Firefly. I never leave the shop empty handed.

Brooklyn Farmacy - Soda Fountain Shop

All that was left was to take a turn around the neighborhood. I walked past Brooklyn Farmacy an authentic vintage soda fountain shop. I didn't have enough time to grab a meal there, as I already had plans for dinner, but judging by the goodies I saw in the menu and in the ice cream freezer, I might be spending a ridiculous amount of time there. Seriously, they had me at ice cream floats. There's an entire section in the menu dedicated to them!

Zaytoons - Middle Eastern Restaurant in Brooklyn

A few blocks over, in Carroll Gardens, it was time for dinner at Zaytoons, the most scrumptious Middle Eastern food in Brooklyn.

One of the most charming places in New York City is the Brooklyn Waterfront by Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights. It's one of my favorite places to visit in the Spring and Summer. Being able to stand right underneath and in between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges is an amazing experience. There's also a beautiful carousel right by the water. The best pizza in Brooklyn can also be found there at Grimaldi's, and you can indulge in some scrumptious ice cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. What's not to love! Have you ever been to this part of NYC?

Afternoon on a Hill

I will be the gladdest thing  
    Under the sun!  
I will touch a hundred flowers  
    And not pick one.  
  
I will look at cliffs and clouds
    With quiet eyes,  
Watch the wind bow down the grass,  
    And the grass rise.  
  
And when lights begin to show  
    Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,  
    And then start down!

How do you carry your possessions
Or your latest obsession
Do you keep them in a bag
Or move them in a sack
Do you fling them to and fro
When you've got someplace to go
Is it a purse or a tote
Do you schlep them on a boat
How do you avoid using plastic
While looking fantastic
If the answer you don't have
I might have some help for that

-JC

A couple of months ago, I finally 'got my shot' and managed to take a few photos of the iconic Kentile Floors sign in Brooklyn, NY. Little did I know that it would be coming down soon after. It's been a symbol of the Brooklyn skyline for the last 50 years. Technically the sign is located in Gowanus, but it can be seen from the F & G above ground train tracks, the BQE (expressway) and rooftops all around the area. Last week, while driving on the expressway I noticed scaffolding and netting on it and my first thought was that it was being repaired. The sad truth is that it's being taken apart because the owners of the building no longer want it on their premises. The K and E have already been taken down and the rest will follow shortly. A lights art show tribute was planned for last night, but they didn't even wait for that to take place. I'm bewildered that this landmark would be removed, but thankfully it's not being destroyed. It's being preserved by local art group The Gowanus Alliance and will be rebuilt/relocated. Perhaps we have not seen the last of this icon, although it will not be the same without the downtown Brooklyn skyline as its backdrop. As I say goodby to Spring and hello to Summer, I bid farewell to the Kentile Floors sign.

View of Brooklyn, featuring the Kentile Floors sign is available as fine art prints (single, framed, matted or canvas wraps), eco friendly cards and 8x12 posters.

A different image of the Kentile Floors sign is also available for download at Getty Images.

Poet and author Dorothy Parker on the hopefulness of New York City.

“London is satisfied, Paris is resigned, but New York is always hopeful. Always it believes that something good is about to come off, and it must hurry to meet it.” -Dorothy Parker

School was not out in NYC, as you may have heard by the intense media coverage last week! I learned recently that New York City has only had 11 snow days since 1978. Actually, this photo was of one of the weekend snowfalls... storm number... I've lost count. The snowflakes were absolutely gigantic and there was something so striking about the empty playground, the snow just beginning to cover the green pavement and the very lonely basketball hoops in the background. Winter has been harsh. The harshest this tropical lady has experienced in years. The landscape in the city is so beautiful when it's covered in white, it just might be worth it. :)

I recently learned that Green Wood Cemetery is and always has been one of New York City's most popular tourist destinations, at least for the last 150 years! A myriad of famous and prominent personalities are buried there and the grounds are spectacular. What I also didn't know is that it's still a working cemetery. So amongst the roamers and tourists you'll also see people actually coming to mourn and pay respects to their loved ones. It's an odd combination, but somehow it works.  For the past 14 years they've held a Memorial Day concert. I used to live eight blocks away from it and was not aware that this event took place. Furthermore, I had not been to Green Wood in seven years. I revisited this lovely place by attending the concert and even though it was rather strange to be sitting by the gravestones listening to music it was a beautiful and peaceful experience. The concert was performed by the ISO Symphonic Band comprised of talented New York students. They played Memorial Day classics like God Bless America and America the Beautiful plus a few pieces composed by permanent residents of the cemetery: Leonard Bernstein & Louis Moreau Gottschalk. It was a wonderful way to honor them and veterans. After the performance I took a walk on the grounds and took these photos. I enjoyed my time there immensely and I hope to return often and soon. If you're even in the area I highly recommend a visit to Green Wood.

Citi Field Stadium

Citi Field was jammed packed during this Summer game. Thought it was an appropriate one to share since the Mets just swept the Yankees a few days ago. I wouldn't call myself a rabid baseball fan, but I did find that sweep rather exciting! Click the photo for more info and licensing options.

I often walk around NYC and find myself in neighborhoods like Chelsea, Flatiron & Herald Square. By far, my favorite sight is the Empire State Building. In a way, it's like the Mona Lisa's eyes. Everywhere you go it follows you and it is beautiful, imposing and statuesque from every angle. My favorite time of the day to shoot it is in the morning when the sun shines right on it and the windows sparkle. Above are some of the shots I've taken of this omnipresent landmark. I confess, I've only been upstairs once, and I"ve not yet been to the observation deck made famous by so many films, including the beloved classics Sleepless in Seattle and An Affair to Remember. The tourist lines are usually wrapped around the block! I cannot wait to photograph it at night some day very soon. Of course, everyone takes photos of it, but I feel privileged to have the chance to do it on regular basis.

Macy's & the Empire, and Empire & The Garden prints available!

The Empire State Building as seen in Sleepless in Seattle. I wonder if they'll ever do an actual heart shaped lighting display for Valentine's Day?

Thank you all so much for entering. I hope you'll keep in touch with OneDay and check out the latest images, photo stories, new items & upcoming giveaways. Next one will be in the Spring. What would you like win: Home decor: a large print or poster, a set of coasters or an accessory/wearable item like a tee or phone case?

On other news, I've now added a profile on ZenFriends. A fabulous phone and tablet app that gives you access to photos and art by hundreds of photographers while on the go. I spent a good deal of time today immersed in beautiful and unique fine art, landscapes and portraits by fellow photographers. If you're just looking for a moment of zen during the day, this is definitely an app worth checking out! More importantly the app takes you directly to the photogs official websites to browse further or purchase if you so desire. 

What do you think of the new rich brown look of the website? I thought the lovely sepia, weathered tone matched well with the textured landmark photography of NYC that is a large part of my portfolio. I've also shared a little more about OneDay here. Thank you! :)

I took this photo a couple years ago on the Coney Island Boardwalk. There was just something striking about this couple, so care free, taking photos for their wedding. Even though they were in formal attire, their demeanor was totally relaxed, as you can see by the flip flops and I wish I'd captured them chowing down on some KFC minutes before! It was a treasured moment for them, and I enjoyed it as well. 

With Sandy come and gone, I often wonder if the Boardwalk will every be the same, and all of Coney Island for that matter. I hope there are many more special moments there in the future both for the locals inhabitants and visitors who love it so much. Myself included. 

May you have a lovely time with friends, partners and family. Feliz Dia del Amor y la Amistad, as we say in my home country. Having 'friendship' be part of the greeting makes a lot of sense to me.

The start of 2013 is turning out to be fantastic! Firstly, I received a RedBubble prints promo today and my 'Take Me Out' photo of Citi Field was included once again. I'm very happy and grateful for this 'printsly' feature! Secondly I had the chance to escape the cold and visit the balmy tropics of Panama (my home country) this past week with many many photography opportunities. I've already posted the shot I took of Gatun lake, which is just so lush and beautiful. The entire area of Gamboa is protected so the Panama Canal can function properly. The Canal uses the natural movement of water from the lakes, rivers and oceans so the eco-system must be pristine so water levels can be optimal. It's great to see a technological marvel that does not hurt nature and works with it. I will be sharing more photos of both city and nature Panamanian landscapes! Also stay tuned for the upcoming full 12 month calendar giveaway, which I will be posting shortly!

It was a wonderful surprise and I received a lovely message from the editors:

"Take me out" is currently available on RedBubble as a Poster, Framed, Matted or Single Print and as photo art accessories including: T-shirts, hoodies, & iphone cases. It is also part of my new Monochromatic Nostalgia 12 page calendar. To save 10% on the calendar enter code HELLO2013 during checkout. Wish you all a Merry Holiday and I'll be posting some of the magical holiday decorations I captured in Midtown Manhattan yesterday so come back soon! 

The Fall Giveaway will be announced in the next few weeks and check back often to see the latest photo art additions.

Happy Autumn!

I'll start with my one of my favorites. This photo was taken in Panama City, Panama and it's the gorgeous Guaycan tree. It's usually the only tree with color in the mountains and forests. This one is located in the city. Its brilliance is all the more majestic because it only turns that bright, joyous shade of yellow once a year. The Guayacan is found in Central America and other tropical areas of the continent.
