What an incredible year this has been. I suppose I could try to put it all into words but I'm a photographer and I speak best through my lens. Here's to a new year (2011, really?) that is full of love, health, success and even more happiness.
Here's my 2010...in pictures. And, you can see where my focus was. ha! photographer pun!
Did you know that I sell a selection of my prints on Etsy? Well, I do! And now you can visit my shop very easily each time you visit my blog by just clicking up top underneath my banner!
The Ciao, Chessa! Photography Shop has small format, open edition prints of my work. I also create reserved listings for clients who want to purchase special sizes which are sold in limited editions (anything larger than 8x12). I'd love to know that my work is hanging in your home so let's talk! And...if there's a photograph of mine that you simply love and you don't see in my shop just let me know because I can list it for you!
Also, I'll be adding a lot of new prints to the shop in the new year so stay tuned!
Here in New York City we are recovering this week from a giant blizzard. Sunday morning we went to brunch with the baby and it started snowing and basically it didn't stop until early Monday morning. It is now Wednesday and the city is still a mess. I haven't taken Lucia out since Sunday and it's starting to make her a little nutty. I went out yesterday by myself to do some reconnaissance and while some of the sidewalks are clean they are terribly icy not to mention the fact that the pathways opened up to access the street are WAY too narrow for a stroller and the snow is piled so high on the paths that it looks like a bunch of mountains that are about to topple. It is ridiculous. This is Manhattan for God's sake! I'm going to attempt to at least walk her around the block today. My sweet girl - she usually goes out twice a day and she loves it! She's a city girl, after all!
In the meantime, I spent some time at C'etait Salement Romantique last night and it calmed me down a bit and reminded me that I actually love winter. It can be quite beautiful actually. And another thing, the site is full of so much loveliness and Paris! that my mood was instantly lifted. It is absolutely one of my new favorite places.
