New Hampshire, Part 1.

Jasmine and I drove from NYC to Providence to Boston to Meredith, New Hampshire to see our dear, wonderful, beautiful friend Sarah Adams who we became best buddies with in Seoul. It was a lovely few days and so nice to get into nature away from the concrete jungle that is New York City.

We woke up in quite possibly the most picturesque (quiet!) place on earth (Matt's family's cabin on the lake), ate big time breakfast at Sunny and Pa's, hiked, ate more, played video games at FunSpot (the "World's Largest Arcade") and had a grand old time.

Harvard is pretty. I saw Chelsea Clinton. And ate Indian food. So there.

Mike Hamm, Rest in Peace.

My good friend Mike passed away this past Saturday. It was unexpected and happened very fast but if there is one thing I've learned about Mike in the past week or so is that boy-oh-boy was he loved. Like woah. He was magnetic and endearing and earnest and simply a GOOD human being. I am sad to have lost a NYC TexPat and will always remember the day I took this photograph of Mike in Coney Island.

We had just rode the Steeple Chase and the ride tech gave us an extra turn on it for free. He wasn't particularly eager to have his photo made after the rickety ride and a few beers but I knew the combination of his awesome shirt and the bright purple wall behind the boardwalk would look amazing.

Along with so many others, I will miss this face and never forget him. Love you Mike.

World's Smallest Brewery Opening

Y'all.

I've been totally a wretched supposed photo-blogger in 2011 and hope to remedy that in 2012. It's been a crazy 7 months since moving to NYC but I haven't been documenting it with my "real" camera. Damn iPhones. They make life too easy.

Anyway...here are a few Landrie took during our Grand Opening back in August. They cute.
