Dear Caitlin,
Union Square is one of my favorite places in New York. I know not all New Yorkers feel that way, but there’s just something about the area that seems so alive. And DSW and Forever 21 are there, of course. I’m always up for a good game of chicken with New York traffic, and the small side streets east of Union Square Park aren’t nearly as busy as the others. Easier to take photos in the street.
Nnenna and I took these before the upheaval of events lately, back when the fading light was still an unhappy shock. Since then I’ve been working on better photos in low light conditions and might even make up a bit of a tutorial. Think it might be useful?

Sandals weather is sadly over, as is sundress weather. Until next year, eShakti dress and wedges.

Yessss, please, a tutorial would be fab! Things are still marginally well-lit when I get home from work, but soon I might have to escape to the kitchen.
Caitlin says
So THIS is the eShakti dress you were talking about a few months ago! It’s cute—perfect for that last warm snap!
I would personally love a tutorial. I really think you should put some up.
ShenDove says
I love your dress Alex! But the fall weather has definitely set in for the season.

Today doesn’t seem to cold, and saturday I went bare-legged again.
Low light photos are such a pain! I’d love to hear any tips you’ve got.
Alex Elizabeth says
Yes, today I’m in bare legs again! It was a nice surprise. This was the last 80 degree day here… basically the last of summer.
Hope Shores says
The light looks perfect here! You’re a pro. :)
