Once Upon a time, we thought we ruled the world. We were talented, had ideas, and little to NO money....but that didn't stop us. In 1996 4 designers got together and we decided to put on a fashion show a Brooklyn, Bedford Stuyvesant backyard... We invited everyone, via word of mouth and postcards. Our friends and family came and supported us......

Sarah, Ivana, Grace first interview in February Back in February I got an email from Grace Remington, who stated she and her colleagues were creating a documentary on Lindsay Park.

I love photography and stumbled Ted Forbes, when I was looking for more info on Vivian Maier. Although his critique of Ms Maier was a bit prickly and I disagreed with some of it, I subscribed and have been hooked, (Videos 1, 2 , and 3 ). His videos are jam packed with inspiration and include new gear, technique, and a favorite of viewers.....photo assignments. Viewers participate in a bi-weekly photo assignment by posting them through Social Networks, which helps you push yourself a bit farther......creatively. He then creates a video using the submissions......but OH BOY when your photos makes the cut.....it's quite a compliment. This past assignment, which was photo sequences and I made the cut!
