MY-A-NEW-YORK!

i am chill-axin' in the city that never sleeps. after my crazy whirlwind in Toronto im getting my dose of culture in before i head back to Vancouver, home of the righteous vegans. speaking of vegans i'm still on my so called lent diet and am hurtin! yesterday the weather was so dang beautiful they had coquito vendors (greatest latin ice cream)on the streets. i go nuts over coquitos and to not indulge in probably my greatest weakness was a bitter-sweet moment. yesterday included a day of city walking to actor studios, quick trip out to brooklyn, veggie eatin, and the journey back on the D train. i'll do my best to take more photos and POST more frequently :S

the bigger picture

as per fan requests, here's my series Renaissance:

The Reveal

here's my work exhibited at Fashion House on 560 King St. West! plenty of talented individuals showcased at the event, i was kinda surprised. while chillin out today at the gallery i lucked out on an interview with MTV Canada! i'm not sure when the interview will air but when i do, i'll let you all know. the photos i took during the industry night were all film which will take me a week or two to develope (that's if they turn out :)

the second coming

i am home! i just landed in Toronto today for the big reveal of my fashion editorial that has consumed me for the past couple months. this "reveal" will take place this thursday, march 19th at the Fashion House. i can't wait to share these images with you. this story is extremely personal to me as these so called "organizers" have put me through hell and back again and this story kinda depicts my "struggle" with it all. ANYWAYS...
it will be my first mingling with over 500 industry people which i'm hoping will lead to future job opportunities. this should be super interesting. i'll be sure to post photos of the event this week.

crazy weather!

this weather is too crazy for me to handle. yesterday we had a random snow storm (well not a storm but it sounds more dramatic) and today it's sunny! Par exemple below. love mother earth everyone! she needs your help :-0

i love you but...

i love me too!
i'll leave the rabbit food to the rabbits. by day 4 of my raw food diet i started getting muscle spasms and by day 6 i started getting dizzy spells and crazy headaches. NOT COOL! i have no idea how anyone does that diet yet alone the Master Cleanse! in any event, i'm no longer a rabbit. i've brought back carbohydrates (cooked potatoes) and protein (oh so good chic peas) into my diet. my body was literally shutting down on me. i will however refrain from junk food, dairy, meats, and sugars. the good thing i did learn from this diet is how much MORE fruits and vegetables i could implement into my diet.

we have lift off!

check it out!
maya is live!!!!!
THANKS JEEDUB!
