Gab

Gab runs the fashion blog ThriftClass.com. She and I met about this time last year and quickly became close friends. In the past year, I’ve frequently contributed photographs to her website, and we’ve been on several for-fun outings so that neither of us gets too suspicious that we may just be exploiting one another for personal gain (although I think she still owes me a cup of coffee).

All of my contributions to her blog have been digital, though when it comes to film I often can’t help myself, so I’d find myself making one or two frames with whichever camera I had loaded at the time.

Here’s a look at a few of my favorite experiences with Gab, on film, from a vegan picnic at Rec Park, to a road trip to Ithaca to see Band of Horses.

I haven’t seen Gab in a while, and it may be a while before we reconnect again. Regardless, I can assure you that we haven’t seen the last of each other (coffee, remember?), and I look forward to featuring her on my blog another day.
