Here are more snaps I took with my iphone last week. I'm looooooving Instagram. It just gives a bit of a punch to my photographs which I appreciate. Check out the following series that I'm titling "NYC/PHL in COLOR.
Recently I wrote about the fabulous artist BLU, whose motion art videos have been making the rounds all over the web. Cackles recently visited London where one of BLU's works was on the exterior wall of the Tate Modern. BLU and a few other artists were asked to create a piece that would adorn the Tate facade through late August. Of the artists asked to join the Tate Modern exhibit, I was only familiar with BLU's work until today, when I stumbled across the work of a French photographer and street artist named JR. JR's striking imagery is instantly recognizable and generally massive in size. JR has plastered his work across the globe. I discovered some videos of his work that I wanted to share. These videos feature his work in France, the most recent Tate Modern exhibit as well as various buildings he painted all around London. The work is amazing, fresh, explosive, political and totally original. Check out the videos below and tell me you don't agree. I'm going to have to keep him on my radar now. I'm hooked!

Cackles is back in the States! After a week long trip abroad, Cacks is back! Welcome home, Ma! We missed you. I mean...come on...who wouldn't miss that face?!
My super sweet parents, brother and his wife and their kids just left after a very short visit to NYC. After a long drive from Virginia, they arrived in NYC last evening. My boyfriend cooked a smashing dinner for a very tough crowd. My parents are 'meat and potatoes' type of folks and my brother and his family are strict vegans. It's not always easy to plan a meal around such polar opposites. He succeeded in making baked ziti - one vegan and one not. It was so yummy. Today saw much much activity. Cackles came up for the day which was awesome and so so nice! We all got to spend a busy busy day together going from one end of the island to the other sharing so many laughs. My two nieces are two of the sweetest and most loving lil' ladies I have ever seen. I miss them already! We had a very very busy and hectic day today and even though I'm glad it's winding down I'm also sad to see them go. They are now heading to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania for some continued family fun - I have to work tomorrow! Boooooo. My family is so important to me so it's always nice when they get to come and share in my world up here. I wish they'd come up more. While my family was here they visited my apartment where I live with my BF and my kitty Alice. I thought I'd share some photos of dear dear Alice since it's been a while. Poor Alice had to run for cover while my nieces were here. They chased her from one side of my apartment to the other. She was a weary lil' kitty. Even if I wasn't happy to see them go, I know that Alice was. She could finally come out of hiding and relax. That is just what I am going to do now as well. RJH just fixed me a cocktail and I'm ready to put my feet up. xoxo.
Who has the style of a diva and the attitude to match? That would be Cackles. Who has the brilliance of prophet and the heart and soul to match? Ummm..that would be Cackles. Who has the spirit of a teenager but the wisdom of her (young) age? Still Cackles. Who is one of the most funny, witty, cheerful, excited, and caring people I know? C.A.C.K.L.E.S. Who is someone that RJH and I lean on for advice when we need it?? The one and only Cackles. Happy Birthday, Cacks. Oh and for those who don't know - Cackles is my boyfriend's mother. We gave her that nickname because she has the most infectious laugh (and clap, if it's REALLY funny!). She is super amazing and super duper rad. Hugs to you on your day! You are the absolute best and we love you. xoxox.
