It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Xmas...

...in NYC

She Hits Pause

She Hits Pause is the studio name of photographer Matt Schwartz. I first came across his photos at a street art fair a few years back on the Upper West Side. I was immediately drawn to his work because of the vintage aesthetic of his photographs. Based on the East Coast, his shots range from the beaches of Santa Monica and Costa Rica to shots of urban flowers, both literally and figuratively, and some amazing shots of New York. All of his photos have a 1960's/70's beach feel to them; surfers, waves and pin-up girls. However, the first Polaroid I purchased was an abstract image of a tattooed arm in front of gilded wallpaper, really beautiful. Check out some of his images below.
