Hopeless Wanderer: Village Edition

By: Gabriela Yareliz My favorite days are the ones where I wander around with my camera, observing and memorializing fleeting moments of loveliness and detail. “To photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.” Henri Cartier-Bresson Below are some of my snapshots from my neighborhood: Greenwich Village. Ready? Here’s some fantasticContinue reading “Hopeless Wanderer: Village Edition”

October Mobile Scrapbook

Here are some random and shameless mobile device snapshots and selfies from this busy, busy month. Here is some music to serve as soundtrack 😉 /And I’m doing just fine I’m always landing on my feet In the nick of time And by the skin of my teeth; I ain’t gonna stress ‘Cause the worstContinue reading “October Mobile Scrapbook”

Hopeless Wanderer: STH/ST/SEAPRT/NYC, Cider Feast Edition

By: Gabriela Yareliz I decided that not another day could go by with me not visiting one of my favorite places in the city–South Street Seaport District. I love the crisp, windiness by the sea and the boats. So, I grabbed my camera (partner-in-crime) and wandered down to the Financial District. The day was perfect; notContinue reading “Hopeless Wanderer: STH/ST/SEAPRT/NYC, Cider Feast Edition”

A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply

“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

A View From Wherever You Are

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I walked out of my building feeling a light 68-degree breeze. Marvelous. It was one of those wind-blowing-through-your-hair days. Restaurants had the outdoor seating ready for sunshine and bonheur. On my stroll, I saw a woman tangled and fighting with her Dalmatian and Yorkie’s leashes; two male servers in an emptyContinue reading “A View From Wherever You Are”

Noticing the Details

By: Gabriela Yareliz While walking home, I opened my new textbook on criminal activity and the law. I always look for book dedications. I am that kind of person. Even though I was walking, it didn’t stop me from shuffling through the pages for the dedication. Even textbooks get dedicated to someone. Inside was aContinue reading “Noticing the Details”

An Ode to Summer

By: Gabriela Yareliz SUMMER IN THE CITY [Inspired by: New York City] Despite my autumn fever, yesterday’s 68-degree morning, and leaving the house with a jacket today, it is still officially a tourist-crowded-sidewalk NYC summer. People’s addiction to ice cream does not seem to be waning. I am slightly traumatized from last winter, and IContinue reading “An Ode to Summer”
