A record of the incessant and trivial chatter running through my head.
.jpg) I’ve dreamed about writing this post for years. So many years. It was shortly after I began taking pictures that the dream (or my non-bucket list item) formed. I’ll skip those details for now. Before I dive in, though, I have to say this: There is absolutely no way my words or images can adequately […]    .jpg) He’s my first born. The one who made me a Mama. My one and only son. It was with him that I knew ‘love at first sight’ was not just for the movies or the poets. Born in the late hours on the brink of a new day, my heart was ravished by the fierce […]
.jpg) It happens with no warning. No one can prepare you. I mean, they can say the words. They can lecture, preach, or cite well researched and educated articles, but you just can’t grasp it until it happens. There is no possible way you can prepare yourself for that moment when the one who will call […] .jpg) . . . until today. We made it. Our plane landed and I behaved like a giddy school girl as I took in all the hustle and the bustle of the New York City streets. Upon our arrival we ate hummus with great friends, looped around Central Park and took in the glorious sights of […] .jpg) I’ve never been a “bucket list” kind of girl. Well, not in the traditional sense, anyway. I don’t have a carefully crafted list numbered 1 to 45 written on perfectly lined white paper, folded and placed carefully inside the pages my journal. I don’t have a list that I add to or subtract from as […]

i was waiting, waiting, waiting for these pics and – like your trip to NYC – did NOT disappoint. they are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! just amazing. i'm so glad you got to go. and i could NOT help but to think through the entire post, "the next time she goes, may it be a Girls Trip and may it include me. And Maybe Chanelle and Meadow and another grown woman or four."
love you, Miss
Summer thank you for taking me along, vicariously, on your trip to NYC through your photos and blog posts – absolutely breathtaking – you have captured the essence of this amazing city – thanks for sharing this experience with us.
Hooray!!! Summer, you captured NYC so well!! I'm so happy you came and had a wonderful time. It truly is a magical place, and it looks like it enchanted you 😉 PS the way you described NYC as a place of contrasts was spot on!!
Beautifully captured! So happy you had such a wonderful time!! Since I see it often, it is nice to see it in a different light.
Wonderful, wonderful photos, Summer! I've had the chance to visit NYC twice . . . so far. First, my husband took me up for a b-day weekend to see "Jersey Boys" (best musical EVER!) and the second was when we traveled to listen to our daughter play in Carnegie Hall when she was a high school senior. Both times it was like pulling teeth to get me to go home, and for all the same reasons you wrote about. It is an amazing city, and I so want to go back soon!
I can't begin to tell you how slowly I scrolled through these photos. I've never been… and I need to go. These photos are incredible. It's so fun to see your perspective in a completely different, and I'm sure inspiring, environment. The extreme difference from the serenity and calm of your everyday life… oh man. I bet it was awesome.
(Chad – way to be awesome. BEST surprise trip ever. Can you email Craig?)
