Lauren Collin Q+A
I loved doing this Q&A with the French artist Lauren Collin. When she was in town for this exhibition I got to see her work in-person and it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. A true talent!
Sheep Meadow is closed today due to wet conditions. But it was open last night & will be again soon! pic.twitter.com/Cdr2BNlBMf

This is another stop-motion video created in Google Photos. These servicey tweets are really important, but not widely shared. I tried to fix that by posting the closure of the Sheep Meadow with this fun video I had made the evening before on my walk home. It was a hit!
I have been having an awful lot of fun taking bursts of photos and then uploading them into Google Photos to create stop-motion animations. I then turn them into videos for Instagram or use as GIFs on Tumblr. This is my latest one. No flowers were harmed in the creation of this video (I picked it up off the ground).
I filmed and edited this entirely on my iPhone. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out. Turns out, I love it!

I'm using Twitter to provide Park-users with updates on where to find the most beautiful blossoms across our 843-acres. And the best part is, Central Park's social community is helping us keep it up-to-date by submitting their own Bloom Watch updates!

I loved making this March Madness-style bracket for Central Park Conservancy's Playground Partners! In an effort to grow awareness for this vital group within the Conservancy we created this light, fun bracket and used Twitter Polls to advance each playground in an east vs. west showdown.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Sometimes, simple is best. This Instagram is a classic instance of that, it was liked more than 3,000 times!
I <3 Central Park Haikus
I loved working with Central Park Conservancy's young professionals group, the Greensward Circle, and our Twitter followers to create this post full of haikus celebrating the Park. I used archival photographs and Canva to create the images in a snap.
Snowy Sheep Meadow on Facebook Live
This was the first time I experimented with Facebook Live for Central Park Conservancy. We have been using Periscope for about a year, but when the most perfect snow fell across New York City, it seemed like a perfect time to try this new live-streaming option. It was shared nearly 3,000 times!
