Photo Journal: Training Jolie

Posted on by Milli Stephania in Client Photography, Milli Stephania, Personal Life, Photo Journals

We all have friends who we barely see anymore. Life happens, we all get busy, we all have things that need to get done.
On this weekend, I wanted to surprise and make some time for friends who have always been so dear to me. Their house is usually loud and filled with laughter. I used to love spending summer’s in Connecticut and forgetting all my troubles of NYC life, even if it was just for a  little bit.
This morning stroll, Jolie, who’s the spitting image of her father wanted to take her bike out for spin. She’s gotten so big and beautiful, it only reminded me of when I held her as a baby. But she’s a big girl now, and she was telling me how she was ready to ride with training wheels. I believe her, but I don’t think anyone is ready for that yet.
Can you stay small just a little bit longer?
Maybe the wheels will be gone next time I come to visit.
Later,

Photo Journal: The Grimey Ones Art Show

Graffiti will always have a place in my heart. When I was younger and in grade school I will draw the names of my peers on notebook paper and sell it to them for $1. In highschool, I learned what a black book was. Every lunch period all the guys will take out their books, the lunch tables will be covered in markers, and everyone will trade books, drawing and hitting them up. After high school I found my scene with a small graff crew, and it was spray painting season from there on out.
Though I don’t dabble anymore, since I  have grown to exercise the freedom of finding different canvases—like I mentioned before, graffiti lives in  my soul. When I saw the invitation for one of my friend’s work that will be displayed, I didn’t even ask questions. I knew I had to go, and just ‘pop up’ and that I did. I haven’t seen them in a couple of years, so I decided to stay quiet, jump on the Metro North and find my way to Connecticut.
The show was great and I had the pleasure of not only reconnecting with old friends, but making new ones as well.
Thanks again for having me!

I almost went into panic mode last night.  I couldn’t remember where I left my ipad, and I think I was more worried about the piece that I didn’t get to finish than the actual device. Who am I kidding? That thing is pricey, and I don’t feel like shelling out another $700 to get another one.  Twenty minutes later, after I looked through all my drawers and purses, and shed a mini tear, I remembered the backpack I stuffed it into. Thank goodness.
On another note, my space is finally starting to look like me. I’m so excited!
This place was a huge mess, and now my little living room is the perfect blend of makeup station, mini bar, hang out and watch TV and my art corner. All my paints, brushes and markers are organized in these cute little dresser. (I’ll share pics soon) Maybe I’ll finally be motivated to paint on canvas. Get my act together and such!
