My friend Sarah, a talented dancer and writer, went to New York around New Year’s, and came back with a passion for the city and a desire to move. I find that people in Chicago often say they’re taking off and moving to one of the coasts, but few do it, at least with the speed that Sarah did. A mere two months later, we’re all anticipating her going away party, as she moves to Brooklyn to more fully pursue her dance goals.

Before she left, we wanted to take some photographs around town, and earlier today we were finally able to take a few. Unfortunately, the weather was not considerate of our timing, and the “warmer” (i.e., 35 degrees) weather we experienced yesterday was replaced with fierce winds, biting cold and light flurries. I’m sure of all the things Sarah may miss about Chicago, the weather will certainly not be one of them. At any rate, she was trouper, and we did a quick session around our neighborhood. Sarah is so ridiculously adorable (what I would give for a smile like that and those chunky curls) that I had a lot of favourites. I wanted to post up a few this evening, however, so here is a little sneak peek. Will probably be posting more later this week because I liked them so.

Bon voyage, my dear! Show NYC how it’s done.
