Been singing that Gershwin tune for weeks. I know it’s July, but I can’t get New York off my mind and wanted to share some pics I took while visiting back east. After the fab Photo Party in CT and a beautiful visit to my old home in NJ… I was on to NY and so excited to unwind, dine, geek out, and girl up with my favorite gal pal Jayne Jewell.
It was a gorgeous sunny day when the weather and air are just right, and it feels so good every cell is vibrating with an indescribable great energy!
Here are some pics of our afternoon jaunt in Central Park. I love the richness of character, nature, and activity happening in the park on a daily basis…

Some moments are quite serene…

…and make you want to do this…

…then you stumble upon this guy and it makes you feel energized and happy to be alive.

Characters abound where you’ll see everyone from a dapper gent to a… well, less dapper fellow.



Lastly, here’s a couple of pics of Jayne and me geeking out big time. Jayne is a Master Life Coach with Tony Robbins, and she… well, she pretty much kicks a**!! Jayne’s a phenomenal partner to paint the town red with and a naturally gifted photographer…

Here’s a shot she snuck of me creating the “serene” water shot above. No wonder why my back hurts…

I miss New York, but I know I’ll be back there soon!…

Look, I don’t mean to be a stickler for details… but I’m preeeettttyyyy sure that guy in the 5th photo didn’t sign a model release form. I’m just sayin’…. ;-) ~j
Thanks for a great weekend! I loved it and learned a ton!
Jayne
LOL!!! Joey…
yes, we got into fisticuffs over the release form – he woke up, tore it up and threw it in the air. I posted his beautiful portrait anyway. I’m considerate like that.
