(Paris is a feeling )

These dreamy photos by Irene Suchocki are among so many of my favorite things on etsy. Through a stroke of serendipity and our common love of lanterns, Anahata reminded me about them again today.

They pull on my heart strings in all of the right ways.

If you love live performances and want the feeling of being whisked away to Paris, take a visit to the French blog LaBlogotheque. They've got the best "take away" performance videos I've seen on the internet. I'm so hooked!

Winter give-a-way... Italian architect Matteo Pericoli's "The City Out My Window"
12.23.2009
Every morning I say to myself that I wish I could be higher. But I know that I would say the same even if I were on the top floor. -Antonio Monda



When Italian architect Matteo Pericoli moved to Queens in 2004, he wanted to take the window view from the studio of his Upper West Side home with him, since it was something he treasured. So he captured the image in a drawing and hung it in his new home. Inspiring the idea of capturing other New Yorker's private views. I began to ask around and looked at other views and realized many people do have a relationship with what is outside their window, Pericoli said. They know their view in a way that nobody else does... in a way that is very personal.

Matteo Pericoli's, The City Out My Window captures private views of New York as seen through the eyes of New Yorkers both famous and ordinary (including Mario Batali, Annie Leibovitz, Mikhail Beryshnikov, David Byrne & more) , revealing hidden perspectives of the city, and of the people living in it.

***

I've been enjoying reading the quirky quotes that accompany his penwork.

Mario Batali: Out our window the view toward Washington Square is the entire history of mid-20th-century pop culture.

David Byrne: I think of my view as pretty typical for a New Yorker. We look out our windows at other windows. That, in a way, mirrors our lives here. We are constantly looking at each other, millions of us, on the streets and elsewhere.

Philip Glass: Water tanks, air-conditioning and exhaust pipes. The infrastructure of New York in plain view. I love it!


For one lucky reader, Simon & Schuster has sent over a copy for me to give away, it's a beautiful book, especially for those with a love or strong connection to New York.

I don't believe the city exists as just an amalgam of buildings, Pericoli says A city exists more as an idea. That's what I wanted to offer in the book an otherwise invisible viewpoint to the city.

Be sure to leave a comment by January 1, 2010 below. I'll announce the winner on New Years Day at 12am PST. Good Luck! I'll throw in a few little surprises for the winner as well...
