I’m back! And I brought eye candy!

Some girls dream of weddings. Some girls dream of becoming a chess champion. No, not me. I dream of getting down and dirty with my husband on a busy (not to mention - dirty!) NYC street. As late night New Yorkers would walk by, they would shyly giggle and laugh. Then there was the occasional interruption because we had to let a tenant into the doorway that we were blocking.
Looks hot! Doesn’t it? Well, it was about the most uncomfortable and painful position that I have ever had to pose in. But, holy smokes, are the pictures worth it or what?! I think Mr. Snow Pea enjoyed it too! I’ve always been envious of those Ralph Lauren perfume ads where the models look lusciously in love.
I was in complete awe of Bandele’s work. One minute I looked like plain Jane, but through his lens, I was a model! This photo was taken in a dark sauna room. I wasn’t trying to look sexy - my dress was just too tight for me to pose any other way.

I don’t like kissing photos, so they directed me to turn my face and release a big “Ahhh” like a Coca Cola commercial! Everyone began to laugh. We quickly posed for this shot and then hopped onto the train.

With all these photographers, we took full advantage. We would suggest photos we wanted and were able to work with some photographers individually. We asked them to zoom in on some detail shots we wanted and took a variety of poses. Most of them are still “processing”, so the photos have been trickling in slowly. If you’re interested, I’ll post more.
