hi, my name is lauren. i live in new york, and occasionally sydney. here is a portion, a collection of my life. some of it has to do with travel. a lot of it has to do with photos. a bit of family, a bit of friends. a whole bunch of nonsense, really. drop me a line sometime, i would love to hear from you: laurenfarmer (dot) blog (at) gmail (dot) com var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-3153199-2']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

Well, most of the perimeter, except for when we got mildly lost and took the scenic route through Spanish Harlem. It was tons of fun, and a great way to see the city.</p> <p>On Sunday, I partook in an epic photo trip.</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.melissajphotography.com/">Melissa</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://mlambrosphotography.com/">Matt</a> and I headed out to the <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary_Cemetery,_Queens">New Calvary Cemetery</a> in Woodside, Queens. It was hotter than hell. I was struggling with the heat, but managed to get a few decent shots in before hiding under the shade of a big tree. If you have any interest in very large and very old cemeteries, I recommend you check this one out.</p> <p>When we’d finished at New Calvary, Matt and I parted ways with Mel and headed out to Bayside, Queens to the old hospital at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.forttotten.org/">Fort Totten</a>. Matt is a pro when it comes to photographing abandoned buildings, and I felt fortunate to have him with me on what is undoubtedly my most thrilling photo trip to date.</p> <p>(check out Matt’s awesome <a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/asshat/sets/72157620578658207/">outlet set</a> on his <a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/asshat">flickr</a>…)<a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/asshat/sets/72157620578658207/"></a></p> <p>A few photos from the cemetery (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurenfarmer/sets/72157622059852766/">full set here</a>) and hospital (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurenfarmer/sets/72157621935936815/">full set here</a>) are to follow…</p>http://laurenfarmer.com/post/165027123http://laurenfarmer.com/post/165027123Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:58:06 +1000
