Photo Shoot with the amazing designer MaleneB

Yesterday was incredible with MaleneB

MaleneB is an uber talented, internationally acclaimed custom rug designer.  Her creative energy is so inspiring to me.  In the past few years we have done photo shoots on Marco Island, Long Island Sound, and Candlewood Lake, each a waterfront location, which as you know, are my favorite shooting locales.  Recently MaleneB moved to Brooklyn so we chose that for our setting this time. I was so excited for something edgy, new and urban.  When we were choosing her wardrobe MaleneB suggested we shoot at the water, all I could think was “not another crowded beach”!  My only experience of a beach in Brooklyn were my trips to Coney Island as a child so my perspective was a little skewed.  When she started to describe Red Hook to me - an urban shore line, artist lofts, cruise ships and water taxis zooming by and then the nail clincher, a perfect view of Lady Liberty -  I realized quickly that my assumptions about the Brooklyn waterfront were way off.  You know what they say about the true meaning of ASSUME.  It was a good lesson for me to remember, keep an open mind especially when you are in the company of another talented creative such as MaleneB.  http://www.maleneb.com/
