Today I feel I’m getting closer to the finish line. Tomorrow I’m submitting my pictures and texts of these last two months to Jean-Jacques and his team at La Lettre. My project isn’t over, but the first forteen chapters are done. 
This afternoon, I might ha...

Day 9
New York feels like one big party this Friday morning. It’s the weekend of all the contemporary art fairs (Armory, Scope, Volta, Independent) and I’m heading to Chelsea to feast my eyes on art and meet up with Robert Mann.

Day 5
Cold and gray this morning. In a Madison Avenue diner, I try to get warm, but the tea I order is so hot it’s undrinkable. Oh well. I’ll have to have something to drink with Tom Gitterman, who I’m visiting this morning. Perhaps I should call him and invite him for a ...

Something to celebrate this morning: for once, I paid more attention to my hat and mascara than to my photo equipment.

Day 8
Today I’m not going to Chelsea, or midtown, or uptown, but downtown. All the way to Bowling Green, or more precisely Stone Street – a tiny cobblestoned street lined with houses that feels more like Victorian London than modern-day New York.

Day 2
“Hi, this is Stephanie, the photographer coming to meet with Adam Boxer. I'm running a little late... My apologies.”
“No problem, Stephanie. Adam is here and it's only 3:53, so technically you aren't even late yet. See you in a bit.”
