It's been a while since we've had a really bad day (and we mean really bad). And when you're experiencing one of those dreadful days, not much can cheer you up (even when your best friends know how to make you feel better). But sometimes the stars aligns and someone from outside your immediate world enters yours and casts a silver lining on your cloud...
Inspiration: Tanya Sakolsky
And Her Echo Park Photographs
The above picture is a laminated photograph of our front stoop. So you can imagine our surprise when we walked up our stairs last evening and found this pic leaning on our mailbox, staring back at us. For a second, we were the slightest bit creeped out as we slowly turned the pic over. There was just a single web address, tanyasakolskyart.com. Ahhh, we could breathe a sigh of relief--we did not have a stalker. What we did have was one really interesting pic of our stoop and a reason to check out this new website. Apparently Tanya Sakolsky is an Echo Park photographer (that besides taking amazing photos) leaves neighborhood residents a laminated photo of their mailbox (on their mailbox). We had been tagged--but in the best possible way--thank you!!
Check out Tanya's website for amazing photographs of Los Angeles and the Echo Park neighborhood.

little did she know she was taking a picture of a home of an AT blogger! I bet she's stoked on the accidental advertising!

That's so sweet, I'd love to come home to a surprise like that. When I was a kid there was a photographer who lived in our neighbourhood that had gone round taking pictures of the kids in the neighbourhoood playing (I know, I'd be suspicious too if it was today), and then published a book with the pictures. There was a picture of me helping my friend to climb over a fence and I remember when he stopped me in the street and gave me two copies of the book! I was five and had no idea I had been photographed, but I thought it was the coolest thing!

I lived in not only a 1/2 but a 1/2 B in Echo Park. It was a nightmare to explain for mailing purposes.
