There are some special highlights and many firsts for me, including: 1) Snorkeling…I saw thousands of lovely under-the-sea creatures! Plus, I found a platinum wedding band at the bottom of the ocean, then later, I found it’s owner. 2) Sailing…I did this for the first time! We departed from Caneel Bay on St. John Island, and made two stops along surrounding islands for snorkeling. We spotted a sea turtle and drank a lot of rum punch. Such an amazing crew, too! 3) We saw wild donkeys, roosters, [...]]]> http://blushphoto.net/blog/u-s-virgin-islands-winter-escape/feed/ 0 http://blushphoto.net/blog/52-things-that-happened-in-twenty-twelve/ http://blushphoto.net/blog/52-things-that-happened-in-twenty-twelve/#comments Mon, 31 Dec 2012 17:52:07 +0000 Kristen Blush http://blushphoto.net/?p=1244 I think it would be fair to say that 2012 was a big year for everyone I know. For me, the excitement of signing to Getty Images and exhaustion of Hurricane Sandy caused a lot of growth  in 2012. Growth in the “tough love” kind of way. I am ready for a new year. My focus in 2013 is creating, and even more important, my process. I have some projects in the air already that I am really intrigued by. I hope you all enjoy my photo collection…52 Things That Happened in Twenty Twelve!

It allows me to make collages of up to nine images at a time using photos from my galleries.        ]]> http://blushphoto.net/blog/photo-grid-for-android/feed/ 0 http://blushphoto.net/blog/indashio-at-new-york-fashion-week/ http://blushphoto.net/blog/indashio-at-new-york-fashion-week/#comments Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:53:48 +0000 Kristen Blush http://blushphoto.net/?p=1223 Fashion Designer, Jason Christopher Peters, invited me to attend Indashio this year at New York Fashion Week!]]> http://blushphoto.net/blog/indashio-at-new-york-fashion-week/feed/ 0 http://blushphoto.net/blog/x-factor-season-2-primier-party/ http://blushphoto.net/blog/x-factor-season-2-primier-party/#comments Thu, 11 Oct 2012 18:48:21 +0000 Kristen Blush http://blushphoto.net/?p=1213 Blush was invited to photograph the X Factor Season 2 Premier Party at Traffic bar in Hells Kitchen last month! There were many red carpet photo ops and excitement to follow. These events always have potential to be a lot of fun…this was no exception. In fact, it was at this event I met my friend, and fashion designer, Jason Christopher Peters!  ]]> http://blushphoto.net/blog/x-factor-season-2-primier-party/feed/ 0 http://blushphoto.net/blog/coney-island-mermaid-parade/ http://blushphoto.net/blog/coney-island-mermaid-parade/#comments Sun, 24 Jun 2012 02:27:30 +0000 Kristen Blush http://blushphoto.net/?p=1154 Coney Island celebrated it’s annual Mermaid Parade today!

He became the proud owner of a special item…a cocktail shaker once used by the Godfather of cocktails and author of  The Gentleman’s Companion, Charles H. Baker Jr. Cocktails were flowing! And once the shaker was permanently mounted in it’s new home, a hand-made art deco box, everyone cheered!! St. John may have shed a tear and I got to mingle around a packed room snapping the below photo set. ENJOY! (You may read fuller coverage online at the Wall Street Journal.)

I’m so glad I was able to make it up to the Upper East Side yesterday just in time to check out Lynch’s solo art exhibition. As expected, I was completely and pleasantly disturbed by his artwork. He created small, medium and large scale pieces, used various forms of media (including electricity!) with some truly bizaare content. I left Tilton with the same feeling I had when I recently re-watched Blue Velvet, and a little spooked-out by the [...]]]> http://blushphoto.net/blog/david-lynch-tilton-gallery-in-nyc/feed/ 0 http://blushphoto.net/blog/photos-of-nyan-cats-birthday-party/ http://blushphoto.net/blog/photos-of-nyan-cats-birthday-party/#comments Fri, 06 Apr 2012 05:20:28 +0000 Kristen Blush http://blushphoto.net/?p=816 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY NYAN CAT! It was a super special day for Christopher Torres, the creator of Nyan Cat! Today, people from all over the world celebrated Nyan Cat’s 1st Birthday by tuning into a live video stream at 21st Street Games, in Manhattan. The audio picks up around 2 minutes, so skip ahead if you’d like, but there is lots of eye candy to be seen. Also, enjoy these photos of the party by Blush!    ]]> http://blushphoto.net/blog/photos-of-nyan-cats-birthday-party/feed/ 0
