THE AE JOURNAL

This week I've been in Brooklyn twice for business and pleasure. I say pleasure because I just added a lot of new experiences to my library called, "Life". The last time I was in Brooklyn prior to this week was for a magazine a few years ago. I had the role of interviewing potential models and talent to be featured.

I was selected to take on a project with a well known artist, Dennis Bellone. He had two concepts for this project. The first concept was to recreate Warhol's famous "screen shots" in hopes to pay homage to Andy Warhol.The second part of the project
dealt with a documentary filming about love. I know that last time I wrote about how I started a love filled week, after attending a discussion group last Sunday.( To view that entry please click:here )


Below Photos:I was transferring to the G train to Brooklyn after getting off the E. I saw this beautiful art on the walls of the subway station. I got camera phone happy- I guess :).





I met Dennis Bellone walking on the way to his studio. When we arrived at his studio we quickly got to work. He had asked me a series of questions about love and what it all means. I am not going to expand much on that because the project is still going on. I can't wait until it is finally finished. It will be great.

A day after that I received a notice to report to Brooklyn again. This time I was to go to a different side of Brooklyn--Manhattan Beach, to meet with Photographer Berik and his fashion stylist Alex. I was to try on a multitude of dresses from mainly Italian designers. The train ride was longer this time around because I was taking it to the end of the line of downtown Brooklyn. When I left the subway I was greeted with sweet scents that just tempted my belly.I could hear my tummy growling --it wanted fooood. I was hungry,tired, and ready to work with the camera. I also was lost--dead lost-- know one knew how to direct me properly to where I was going. Luckily my phone had a map--thank you G1. When I arrived to my location I found an amazing view ( this meant I got camera phone happy)check it:



I immediately met with the stylist, Alex, he was adorable! He looked me up and down and was like ummmmm 6/8. In my mind I was like I AM A SIZE 4. I just figured he knew best so I trusted him. The clothes fitted well.When I thought I was done trying on one batch of clothing I was only greeted with another! Dresses filled the whole room.. Alex just kept handing me another load. It ranged from Dior, Versace,Fendi, Ferrera and others. I should be getting my test photos out by this upcoming Sunday. I am looking forward in critiquing myself to see where I need to improve. I will post them in my online portfolio section as soon as I get them.

In a few weeks I plan on doing something life changing--something so unexpected and rewarding--I hope. Only time will tell. Have a great weekend! I will be taking a few practice exams for my MCATS but I will be enjoying it=) So, live your best life.
