a friend called me one morning and she thought she woke me. i was in fact, still in bed, but looking at my contemporaries online. there have been so many museums i've visited in the last 6 months. it's been a trip worth reliving and i will at some point relive it here. yes, i am bad at these posts. but this deserves a look. this is what kept me in bed that one morning (oh, by the way, i still haven't looked at that disk i mention here - jennifer was the critical mass finalist) the story from which this body comes from, is beautiful. enjoy....
a new year, and a new love card, with new work featured. i mailed a whole box full of these yesterday. i've been having some pretty amazing dreams for the last 6-8 months, which is the inspiration for this year's card. the dreams have been so vivid and magical - i hope these bring you some magic as well. each year these cards come with a little gift inside, for those of you i've had the pleasure to collaborate with, on a photographic endevor. if you'd like to be included, please email the studio here: studio@alyssamiserendino.com, with your snail mail address. this year's cards are going as far as new zeland, brazil, england, thailand, hong kong and germany. i can't wait to see how far they go next year. Happy year of the dragon!
this morning reminded me how lucky i am to have a fun loving brain -- yes i am a photographer (forgive my camera phone's auto functions below!), but also an interior design consultant... my client and i visited a slab manufacturing house, to pick out the location, on a slab, from where his countertop pieces would be cut. the gracious and funny artist we were assigned to, has been doing this for 25 years. i call him an artist, because he is thoughtful about where all pieces are going and how to maximize the movement in one slab. i was able to follow his thought process & collaborate through the design, which left me giddy. i cant wait to show off this kitchen when it is done. we knocked down walls, re-routed electrical, eliminated the vertical refrigerator and freezer, and a lot more! not to mention this beautiful piece of granite, found on accident (from brazil, no less, where i've just returned from a shoot). this was one of only three slabs left, unmarked, that i felt in love with when hand selecting it for the kitchen....
