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

A few weeks ago, my good friends Gina and Chris came to town, visiting from SoCal.
Gina is a vibrant and sassy children’s photographer, Chris is a thoughtful and inspired documentary filmmaker. They are quite a dynamic duo!
We spent an afternoon out at Coney Island, fighting some pretty pathetic weather but managed to pull out what I think are some beautiful shots.
I really adore these two, hope I get to spend a lot more time with them, soaking up their creativity.
Thanks, Gina & Chris!
“Vested” from Atlantic/Pacific, which I have posted here before, but I’ll post up again for good measure. Hope you enjoy!

Another one I love. It’s ALL GREG, ALL DAY today. Get used to it.
Greg Thomas - It’s Only Gone If You Look At It That Way
Atlantic/Pacific is now available on iTunes, and with a Bonus Track at Bandcamp.
Buckle up, I’m about to massively endorse GREG THOMAS.
I met Greg a few months ago through mutual friends, life just hasn’t been the same since.
He’s a fantastic musician, and an even cooler guy.
His EP Atlantic/Pacific was released yesterday and is now available on iTunes and Bandcamp. I am super honored that he used a photo of mine for the cover.
Greg’s NYC CD Release Show is TONIGHT.
The Living Room (158 Ludlow @ Stanton) at 9:30pm - FREE
You should really come.
We will listen to music. We will make new friends. We will have drinks.
Okay, so see you tonight. Can’t wait!
What does Staten Island have to offer me for 11 bucks?
Sure as hell not the pervert in the truck that I just flipped off.
I marveled at how kindly the waitstaff at the Algonquin Hotel were treating me for a non-guest.
That was until they brought me my check for this $7 cup of tea.
This blog has seen its fair share of excitement lately (what with the road trip and with the fire) and in an effort to keep it going, I now have some fairly significant news to share.
On September 12th, I am moving to Sydney for 6 months.
As you know, all of my family are from and currently live in Australia. Though we moved to the States when I was young, I have always considered Australia “home” and have longed for the holiday trips which take me there each Christmas. But it’s never enough time. It’s truly an incredible place. The people, the food, the beaches, the culture. I love it all.
When I quit my job back in June, spending at least a few months in Australia was a large part of my plan. I am excited to take advantage of my newfound freedom and mobility, as well as the opportunity to live in an endless summer!
My general plan is to spend time with my family, especially my grandparents, to travel and see parts of the country I haven’t yet made my way to, and to for at least a while, consider Sydney home. I will make new friends, shoot as much as I can, try to make a bit of money and finally learn to surf. About damn time.
I plan to return to New York in late spring, after a brief detour in Southeast Asia.
I am really, really excited for what this experience will bring to my life. It’s all about learning for me, about taking a chance to figure out where I want to live, what I want to do and who I want to be. It’s a process. What can I say, I always seem to take the long way ‘round.
So as always, I hope that you will continue to keep up with the blog and you can count on me sharing the good (and bad) of it all with you.
So, who’s in for a Sydney meet-up?
I’m just now beginning to go through the photos from the wedding I shot in Kansas City.
Hoping to find many more like this one.
