Weekend snaps.

I’m trying to make an effort to take more photos on the weekends; after all, they only come around once a week, and give a different vibe.

Photos from Memorial Day Weekend: the weekend the L wasn’t running, the weekend hot soba was enjoyed in a cramped Japanese hole-in-the-wall, and the weekend of cronut success, Thai iced tea, and lazy hours in a sunny Washington Square Park.

My room with a view.

Rain, rain, go away…

What work looks like today:

baking, cooking, spreading, arranging, shooting,

bending light, reflecting light, rearranging, 

musing, considering, again, rearranging, deciding.

Repeat, ten times over, for a slice of my day as photo intern at Food52.

My work shoes.

Stained with many a coffee spill, with espresso grounds in every nook and cranny, it’s high time to give these guys a good scrubbing.

Much love for Brooklyn this summer.

My corner of Brooklyn.

A month’s passed since I’ve moved into my little summer sublet. I’m only here for three and a half months, but it feels like I’ve carved out a permanent space for myself in this Williamsburg room.

Good morning, Metropolitan Ave.

Hearing, smelling, seeing, the rain fall this morning.

The Steampunk at La Colombe.

The La Colombe in Nolita is one of a handful of coffeeshops in the U.S. to serve coffee using a Steampunk. This much-hyped machine by Alpha Domniche is best described as a mechanized siphon brewer, automating factors like time, temperature, volume, agitation, etc. and taking some of the inconsistencies of siphon brewing.

La Colombe was brewing a Kenyan coffee when I visited, and I wasn’t a fan of the dark roasting profile of the coffee nor the heavy-bodied, sedimenty brew. But it’s not without potential, that’s for sure. Rumor has it that we’re supposed to be getting one of these at Kaffe, so that’ll be something to look forward to…
