Walk with me.

I’ve never considered myself a street photographer and it’s rare that I carry my camera around with me everywhere unless I’m on a vacation. My husband yells at me periodically when we road trip and I’ve once again forgotten my camera. Know this is something...

Manhattan by Woody Allen

Remind me… why’d I move here?

Work wise, I’m finally movin’ & a shakin’! I’ve been helping out the B2B team on a global advertising campaign.  Last week they were having issues with their budgets and couldn’t figure out why everything was so high and over budget.  I ended up staying...

Kerry Guard and her 6th Floor Walk Up

Stairs, stairs, stairs and more stairs

One month down and zero work to show for it, unless finding the best way to watch my favorite TV shows during work hours counts. Either the media planners & media supervisors are too busy to teach us or there isn’t enough work to go...

Kerry Guard Digital Media Strategist on Her First Week in NYC

Paperwork & Mouse Traps

First week down. Other then HR paperwork there wasn’t much else to do. It seems the supervisors are so super busy that they don’t have time to teach us anything at the moment.  Hopefully this was just a weird week and next week things will...

The New Girl

I woke up early today giving myself more time than usual to get ready. I wore a full suit thinking better to be over dressed for the first day and figure out how far to dress down moving forward. It’s a 15 minute walk to...

Yes, there is an Avenue D

I packed up the little I have into my dad’s truck and the three of us (mom, dad, and me) drove to New York today. All I needed were clothes, computer, dvds, books, TV, dvd player, alarm clock, lamp, hangers, and under the bed drawers....

East Village

The East Village

This is getting ridiculous.  Was at a baby shower today and I was telling my aunt about the job and when I start. Low and behold her friend who lives in the East Village is looking for a roommate. I called her as soon as I...

Madison Avenue

Madison Avenue

Job offered and accepted!  I’m moving to New York!  I start September 4th. I’m so excited! The job was offered yesterday, but I thought I’d take 24 hours just to make the salary and benefits were with in range. Checked Glass Door and the average...

Interview Palooza

I met with HR yesterday.  I drove 1.5 hours from Philadelphia to Princeton then took the North East Corridor local train, another 1.5 hours, and arrived in New York around noon.  I walked eight streets up to 42nd and hopped on the 7 train. Two...

Iceland, Australia, New York City

July 24, 2007 Another day of endless E-mails and zero responses. I even emailed a photographer in Iceland asking if he needed an assistant.  Anything to get out of here and start my career already. I did get one email today from my uncle, a...
