I’ve hit this weird place where I feel simultaneously antsy, a little sad, and at times, extremely determined. When all of these feelings come together, they mush into something awful; it’s paralyzing, while individually, they could be a catalyst for change. This weekend, Brooklyn hosted the first ever GoogaMooga festival. If you live here, you don’t want to talk about it. If you don’t, it name sounds like something you’d catch on children’s AM television. I attended both Saturday and Sunday portions and had almost opposite experiences. Suffice to say, Sunday was absolutely dreamy and completely an escape from reality. While I edited photos tonight, it seems almost as if none of it happened. I’m ok with that. As usual, I’ll let my photos do the talking.

Since I’ve started a full-time, big-girl, benefit job (yay dental), I haven’t been shooting much. This really bums me out BUT I did have the pleasure of some of my favorite gentlemen last week at Sullivan Hall. I’ve spent so much time near that venue but had never had the opportunity to catch a show. The Hollows, who are no strangers to my blog, totally rocked and were well-worth staying up far too late. It was also Dave’s (above) birthday. Happy birthday, Dave! You’re an old man.

NEW SKETCH from Rex (Rachael Mason, Kerry McGuire, and Stephanie Bencin)

Written & Directed by Stephanie Bencin

Starring Siobhan Thompson, Keith Kingbay Smith, and Siri

This is super fantastic. Nice work, Stephanie and Co.

This boy dresses better than you do.

DO wear a weathered, knit cardigan over your button down. The grandpa/babyface vibe works. Go with it.

Cargo is not an acceptable pants or shorts style. It is what people put onto ships.

DON’T wear your work lanyard. Anywhere. You look like you’re headed to Comic-Con.

A vest isn’t an article of clothing for males. It is an undershirt worn by women in Britain. Let’s keep it that way.

DO have at least one pair of oxfords. Every oxford day is a good day.

DON’T, under any circumstances, wear transitions lenses. Get a pair of prescription sunglasses and a pair of glasses. Enough said.

Perhaps t-shirts over long-sleeved t-shirts were ok in the movie Clueless, but they aren’t now. Let’s move on.

In past UK trips, I’ve been much better about posting regularly so you’d think with a month, I’d have lots more down time, but London seems to be keeping me insanely busy. Otto and Mette (5 and 3 years-old) are tons of fun but quite the pair and are demanding my tortellini cutting and ninja battling skills throughout the day. To top it all off, we had a run in with bedbugs and ended up fleeing to a new flat with only our hands as transport. I have so many adventures to share with you but in the mean time, you can follow me on Instagram, where I’m posting images from my travels. My username is sarahbibi and with browsers like Webstagram, you can even see them online. I’m behind on posting on Pinterest too, but gathering lots of inspiration in my brain that will hopefully make it’s way onto there soon. I even completed one of the cowl knitting projects I had pinned with the help of Phoebe and an amazing store in Angel, called Loop. For now, I’ll leave you with a shot of me donning my new cowl in Hampstead.

Otto and Mette just got back from Lillywhites with matching football attire. We did a mini photo shoot and here’s a taste. Pretty darn cute.

Paddington has face hands.

Princesses like blood oranges, but so do belly dancers who wear my bras.

American chocolate chips are a great bribery tool but the excitement may get to be too much.

After a nap, babychinos require sprinkles.

Boys like babychinos too, even though they’re not babies. If swings are involved, remember to steer the child away from walking directly in front of them.

Lana de Rey is apparently also a UK phenomenon and you will never escape her. Mette will get in your bed to “code” in the mornings on your laptop. She will also change all your computer preferences while doing so.

in London! I’ve arrived and I’m sleepy but oh so happy. More soon.

I landed just in time to catch Matthew and Caveman of Brooklyn make their UK debut at the Macbeth in London.

Last Monday, I had the pleasure of shooting the marriage of two lovely Australian friends at City Hall in Manhattan. Now that the cat’s out of the bag in both continents, I’m able to share a few of my images from this special morning with you. We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge to snap a few shots after Kiri and Tom tied the knot.

If you have not seen this show at Upright Citizens Brigade, you are crazier than the ladies fighting for those roses. Last night I had the pleasure of shooting some press stills. Here are a few faves and the rest are conveniently on Facebook.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my role at work lately, my productivity, and my general usefulness. Here’s a conversation from yesterday; I came in late after a freelance wedding shoot:

Coworker: Oh, Michael Weatherly is coming in to the office today at 4:30. Can you take a picture on your iPhone again?

Me: Sure.

Coworker: It came up in the morning meeting. They want to do that again and tweet it out.

Me: Ok, sure.

(I have a B.A. in English. Is this really all it’s come down to?)

UPDATE: Apparently it’s not them. I’m devastated. See the heartbreaking update here.

You GUYS. Fleet Foxes covered “Like A Virgin”…and everything else. On a Tumblr. I can’t take it.

Watch the original video. 

Somehow the universe thought I should work with the Jersey Shore kids twice in two months. The above shot was taken at Beachcomber Bar at the shore in December by William Thomas Cain.

Yesterday these ladies came to visit us in the New York office for a Cubicle Confession. If their spin-off is anything like our interview, it will be hilarious.

You guys! It’s happened. After a quiet period, AGT has made more stellar music, and you can stream it for free through the link above. Enjoy.

Welcome to Brokelandia: Episode 1: Did You Eat It? 

Friends and colleagues over at Brokelyn made this amazing Portlandia parody. As you know, I’m a huge fan of both so this is some version of my heaven. Stay tuned for more video content from Brokelyn. It’s our 2012 resolution.

On Friday, January 20th, sensation band Caveman rocked out to a sold out show at Bowery Ballroom. Even setting aside my bias of being a childhood friend of Matthew Iwanusa’s, frontman of the band, it was clear that the crowd held a deep admiration for these musicians. My, how they’ve grown since I caught them at CMJ 2010 at Cameo Gallery. Openers for the evening included Heaven and Au Palais. I’ll say no more, but just share a few shots from the evening. I’m excited that the boys are playing a London show the night I arrive for a month-long stay in February of this year.

Some amazingly talented ladies in comedy created this visual treat. I give you, Watchin’ Downton.
