Happy Friday everyone! We all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break — William escaped to London for the long weekend and has some amazing Hipstamatic shots you can check out on our Flickr photostream. We have been keeping ourselves busy this week wrapping up our latest big project that we just can’t wait to announce, and after our second M+F photo shoot this week, we’ll be posting some of our most recent work. Stay tuned for the latest, and in the meantime check out our rebranding of the non-profit organization Grand Street Settlement.
