Elana is a Fashion News intern at Teen Vogue and we found each other outside of the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue and Central Park South. The first time I spotted Elana was at New York Fashion Week last September in a gorgeous Rag and Bone dress. As you can see, we had a bit of fun as we bought a pretzel off a street vendor to feed Ricki the horse, stood inside Central Park and shot Columbus Circle in the background, and then got a bit creative at the end with the tree branches.

Teen Vogue, Feb. 2009

Hope everyone is enjoying a warm and memorable holiday season with family, friends, and loved one's. I promise regular updates again after the holiday season passes. For the moment, above is a scanned page from the Feb. 2009 issue of Teen Vogue, which is a collection of images I shot during fashion month. This is certainly an amazing way to end 2008. Did you know you could subscribe to 2 years of Teen Vogue for just $10? That's not even the cost of a drink in Manhattan. It also reminds me just how far I have yet to go: agents in all major global capital cities of the world, a professional photo book the size of a small desk, and eventually a 39 mega pixel Hasselblad camera. One step towards that dream has already been made as my new camera is finally in (no, not a Hasselblad, but definitely enough to provide you with word class quality), so you can look forward to new and improved images. See everyone back soon!
