"I’ve always found shooting in the streets of New York energizing. The stoops, the sidewalks, everything’s been marked by decades, sometimes centuries, of life. Even in the neighborhoods that have been gentrified, the traces of what’s been are there somehow. At the same time, everything is always moving forward, nothing ever stops, at any time of the day or night. Ever. What winds up happening is that you become a part of the street you’re filming. You become one with its energy."
I turned 27 on Saturday, and spent the weekend in my favorite city with a few of my favorite people - Rob and my family. This photo was taken at the spot I love best.

Holy cow--27?!?!??? You're totally just a pup! Oh, to be 27 again!
Wasn't this weekend's weather awesome? Absolutely perfect for hanging out in NYC. Hope you had a great time--happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday, Kelly!
Happy Birthday Kalki. Awesome pic.
Happy Belated Birthday! It sounds like a fabulous way to spend your birthday. I'm so glad you got to do something special. :-)
happy birthday kalki!!!
(i'm ashamed it is belated, but with everything going on, i'm lucky to be just a day late)
what a wonderful way to spend your day.
i like nyc, too, and even though it would be far from a getaway for me, (i guess that's just because i already live in a mini-nyc and the hustle & bustle loses its luster), i miss all my frequent trips to visit ericka now that she has moved away. taking the train over to nyc always made for a great weekend.
here's to a fabulous start to 27.
Happy Birthday! Looks like it was a good one :)
Happy Birthday!
New York City is a place I need to explore. I'll probably squeeze in a road trip up that way while I'm home. wooo!
Looks like a fantastic birthday weekend. You really know how to celebrate.
Aw, so cool. Hope your day was super awesome. :)
Happy Belated Birthday!!! Looks like it was a beautiful 27th birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday from a (mostly) lurker! Hope it was great! I can't think of many places I'd rather be than NYC.. and the weather was fantastic last weekend.
Hello! I'm stopping by from Odd Mix's page just to say hi and wish you a happy birthday! Beautiful picture, btw :) I love the life you've captured in it.
That's what I've always loved best about the city - the possibility. Happy Belated Birthday, sounds like you had a great time.
We were there Mon-Thurs!
