Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

After Clio’s birthday we rode our bikes to Red Hook for brunch at Fort Defiance with Kate’s friend Jen who was in town from Las Vegas.

This spot is good.

Real good.

Tulane alumni: Kate, St. John, the owner of Fort Defiance, and Jen (with her friend Mary’s son Noah).

After brunch we walked over to BWAC to see the newest show. Nana T. had a nice piece up at the entrance.

More great work by Nana T.

We came across this place that runs a digital photo booth and the Noahs got sucked in.

Mary, Jen, and Kate took a turn.

I let this happen quick too.

It was Clio’s turn to have a birthday, and when it came around, she had it at the Prospect Park Carousel and we horsed around.

We met Leni for the first time a little over a month ago (here), and recently she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She is currently undergoing her first round of chemotherapy, and eventually will need a bone marrow transplant. Read more about her condition, root for her, and more at http://loveforleni.com.

Leni, her sister Mae, and her parents Jerry and Amanda are constantly in our thoughts.

Early August, back when it was still Summer, we spent the afternoon up at The Cloisters.

Finding a lunch spot.

“The Cloisters museum and gardens, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, was assembled from architectural elements, both domestic and religious, that largely date from the twelfth through the fifteenth century.” – source

Ivory is pretty amazing, and for the record, best kept on the animals it belongs to.

It looks so buttery though.

He made a lot more sense when I finished this.

Infinitely intricate.

Silly.

Saw this guy on the way out.
