I Love New York

Ok so the biggest wedding of my career is quickly followed by the biggest storm of my life. I don't even know what to say about that but ...holy crap. It's been an insane week to say the least. Plus the need to scramble it together with little gas, downtown Manhattan in the dark and restrictions on the number of people per car to pull off another wedding by Saturday. But we did it. I feel so incredibly lucky that neither our home or studio experienced any damage - especially when there are so many people and small businesses suffering.

And to get up on my soap box I think it's high time for all of us to have a serious conversation about  global warming. It's here. The whole thing freaks me out and honestly keeps me awake at night. Yes, the economy is on everyone's minds but the earth, well we don't seem to give a shit about the earth. ugh...sorry, more pretty things to come. Right now I gotta get through this week and regroup. I do hope that you are safe and sound as winter approaches.
 I did a wedding at the Plaza. It was classic New York with whites and greens and lots of cut crystal and mercury glass. I worked my ass off and got terrible pictures but it happened and it was gorgeous.

So glad that you and your family are safe. It must have been a nightmare trying to carry on as usual, but you did it, and so well too. Congratulations! You are so right about global warming, we need to stop brushing it under the carpet.
Goodnight and God Bless, love Linda x

Oh Denise, I've been thinking about you and your family a lot since Sandy hit! I'm so glad to hear that your studio and home are both ok, and that you pulled off the *most* beautiful event. Really amazing under any circumstances, but especially these. Austin will be ocean-front property soon (or a desert) if things keep heating up. I don't know why people try to deny it, so freakin' exasperating. I hope NYC can get back to normal soon. Many hugs.

Good job under trying circumstances which I lived being out of power for one entire week, now we have a snowstrom. It boggles my mind that there are still those who refuse to see global warming or climate change or whatever you want to call it. Let's face it 2 hurricanes in 2 years in our area...
