Photobucket
Stephane and I

Although these photos are from the summer, they give me this great nostalgic feeling of warm days and living alone for the first time. In the next week or so i'll be posting a bunch of different photos of my summer, my fall and my winter so far. I'll start with this group of photos of my 1st apt that I moved into last July. Stephane and I have been looking for a place to call our own for about 2yrs. We knew we wouldn't be able to move far, or alone because of financial reasons - so we decided to move to brooklyn and started asking around to see if any friends wanted to be our roommates. Brooklyn is by far one of the last places I want to live in America. If it was my choice i'd be in Portland, Oregon (which hopefully I will be in the next few years!). Yet my dreams were only a reality in my head, and my reality was going to be moving to brooklyn. We were limited because we couldn't move to far away from our work/school just yet. So, the great search began for the right place and the right roommates. It took some time, but we found a great loft space and a perfect roommate (we did have two roomates but the other was unsuccessful). I had known Robert (http://www.flickr.com/photos/orangebubblegum/) for a little while through photography but had never met in person. Stephane and I took a trip up to ohio (where Robert grew up) in june and everyone got along real well, so we decided to all be roomies together. Well, after a couple of months in the new place things got very complicated with the building we were living in. Our building was an old sweater factory that closed down in 1939, I immediately fell inlove with it because of it's old brick walls, and peeling wood. But there was many issues with the department of buildings and our crooked lanlord, and one thing lead to another and everyone in our building was ordered to vacate. We were left slightly homeless and had to start from scratch all over again. In the few months we lived there I managed to grab some energy and moments through my lense. I hope you enjoy.
