I am Lauren Farmer.
I live in New York City.

I can’t remember ever taking a photo of a homeless person before. If I have, it was done with their permission.
Today though, I came upon this sleeping man. I’m still questioning whether I should have taken this shot. But I did. Right or wrong. I don’t know.
But I do like the photo.
I stumbled upon the smallest street in Manhattan today. It’s called Weehawken St.
You can find it here.
A few photos from this afternoon…
I’m finally starting to appreciate what black & white can offer.
I have a new thing called “Sunday Night Self Portraits.”
It’s likely to only last two weeks. This week and last.
Funny story behind this one. I managed to only get a few shots tonight before the rain came pouring down. It was during this one that I thought I saw the roof door closing. So this is me thinking “Uh oh, I better not get locked up here.” I didn’t even realize I took this photo until well afterwards.
Anyway, so here it is.
I had a totally uneventful weekend. And I mean it, un event ful. But it was nice. I spent a lot of time alone, organizing myself, things of that nature. Today I took to the meatpacking district, snapped a couple photos before putting my camera away and allowing myself to just wander aimlessly. I actually managed to get lost, and stumbled upon a few really unique streets.
Happy Father’s Day to all you pops out there. I have one, but it’s not Father’s Day in Australia until September 6th so I will just have to wait.
Annnnnd I’m rambling.
See ya.
I am 26 years old, I live in New York City. It is Saturday night.
I am currently drinking beer (Pilsner Urquell), watching High School Musical (the first one, the dopest of them all). Oh, and it’s the sing-a-long version.
Don’t hate.
The beer is very important in this equation.
…taking photos. All over the place.
It is what puts the biggest smile on my face, so I will do it every day.
Bryant Park now has PING PONG TABLES. Yes, that’s right.
You may not know this about me, but I kick serious ASS at ping pong.
I won the women’s Ping Pong title in the David & Goliath Tournament of Champions during my study abroad in Florence, Italy. It was the spring of 2002. So, a pretty big deal.
If anyone works in midtown and wants to challenge me to a game during lunch, you best let me know at lfarm.tumblr at gmail.
See you on the court, fools.

Big moment yesterday with Billy Mays.
Major thanks to Tiffany for snapping this awesome pic!
Check out her video and photos of Billy’s OxiClean demo yesterday at the Big Apple BBQ.
emilyposts: Turns out Bogey’s not so good at his tricks tonight. He has a tummy ache from drinking too much pool water today. But he made this little video for Lauren to let her know he loves her and hopes her heart is happy today!
Bogey! Love you so much, pup. Even though you suck majorly at getting your treats. :) Say hi to your mom for me…
Please meet my friend, Emily.
Beautiful, right?
I’ve known Emily for months and months, through tumblr. We finally met this past weekend in DC. Let me tell you a little bit about her…
She is warm (not in temperature, but in personality). She is thoughtful. She is open-hearted. The kind of girl you want to tell your life story to. The kind of girl you tell your secrets to, knowing full well that she will keep them safe. She’s also full of natural talent. She makes things matter.
I think she is wonderful.
My problem is that I do not know what I want.
I want yes and I want no. I want to go and I want to stay. I want it to be and I want it to be over. I want to be close to and I want to be far from.
I never used to be like this.
Since when did it become so hard for me to make decisions?
