a few night earlier, I was with willie and karla and we were pretty high on energy. we went up to the roof of the soho house where they were fairy lights everywhere, a magnificent view of the city, a pool and to top it off, a girl came over to us and swore that she just saw a shooting star in the sky. I sat there and in a split second, something sunk in. believe it or not, that was the first official time since I came that I believed that I was in new york. 

two big jam-packed exhilarating weeks in NYC has made me feel right at home. it seems like I had been there my entire life and I know of no other schedule. it’s crazy to think that I’ve left already. I already miss everything about the city, but especially about living out of a suitcase, the many turns of corridors to get to my room, the bagels, the food in general, the continuous shutter setting on my camera when I’m shooting runway, the rooftop of the hudson hotel, the fashion shows, the ninety percent of my life spent in traffic, the energy, the bright lights, the 24 trading hours, inspiration around every corner and most importantly the tumblr 20 and every single person I met along the way. when you’re surrounded with crazily, talented artists, you can’t wish you were anywhere else. I am going to make sure that I visit often simply because nothing can compares to it.

this trip has given me the chance to do what I’ve always wanted: shoot every day, every minute, non-stop and nothing else.
