Balloons (Midtown, Manhattan) by Youngna Park

Hello collector friends, it's Sara. Jen had the best intentions to be here today but some unfortunate aches and pains are keeping her away. But as promised, I have lots of exciting news to share.

First, today's edition! Balloons (Midtown, Manhattan) is our fourth from JBP superstar--producer/photographer/writer/editor/foodie/bride-to-be--Youngna Park. Its red and pink balloons infused with light and just barely contained by the windows of a Midtown office are apropos of hushed anticipation--we've got lots to celebrate. Not the least among our reasons for cheer: Youngna's getting married this weekend!

In work, play and wedding planning, no detail goes unnoticed; Youngna's careful contemplation is ever unfettered. Jen and I have oft talked about her particular way of paying attention to the everyday. It's something we agree not only makes her own life richer but ours as well. Her ability to share with us is burnished by her words and pictures; evidence lies in her previous editions, Salmon Hole (Chico, California), Winter Flags (East Village, New York) and the sold-out Brooklyn Morning. Her cleverly crafted wedding invites, which are winning accolades all over the web, are also due a mention.

With three cheers for love, balloons, light and little details, we're sending Youngna and her fiancee Jacob off with warmest wishes--may "The Best Time Of The Day" be your everyday together.

There's still more for us to rejoice: We're putting together a benefit edition with our friends at Creative Time! We've long been huge fans of the work they do: commissioning, producing and presenting incredible installations, events and art interventions, engaging millions of people all over the city and supporting artists' biggest and boldest ideas. We're über excited to have this opportunity to support them and think you'll be thrilled too when you find out just whose work we'll be presenting to you--he's a multi-talented superstar artist who's always been very (very!) high on Jen's list of dream collaborators. Creative Time will make the official announcement in their newsletter on Monday. Sign up for the scoop! Once you're hooked, I recommend you one-up yourself and become a member. You'll get insider access to their projects, fabulous events, artist meet and greets, a tax deduction, and so much more. Most importantly, your membership directly supports artists' dream projects. Join here.

While we'll be heading up to Connecticut for Youngna's wedding over the weekend, we'll keep one eye and ear on the web. We'll be up to our usual shenanigans on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook and keeping an eye on Creative Time's Livestream broadcast of their *sold out* event, The Creative Time Summit.

Salut!
