My Favorite Photographer.....

Recently I've discovered a photographer and I've absolutely fallen in love with her work!  She is so inspirational to me!  Her name is Vivian Maier and she took photographs of regular people, in regular places doing regular things during the 1950s.  Nothing overly glamorous or Hollywood-ish.  Just plain people.  But her photographs are deep and emotional, something that few modern day photographers manage to capture.  Here are a few of my favorite shots - enjoy them!
































































































vogue.com has a very interesting article about her, featuring many of her photographs: http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/hidden-talent-vivian-maiers-recently-discovered-photography-returns-to-new-york/

Recent Happenings....

Hello, Everyone!!  I've been incredibly busy lately with the Nutcracker (I wasn't in it this year because I've had mono, but I was able to help with note-taking and picture taking), Thanksgiving, school and ballet classes.  Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks - enjoy!!




















Time for new pointe shoes!



Some pumpkins leftover from Halloween that I glittered - they were perfect for Thanksgiving!

Beautiful flowers on our dining room table :)

Miss Ida really wanted the pecan pie on Thanksgiving!

Well, that's what I've been up to recently - I hope everyone is having a great week!
