Couple’s Session: Stacy and Greg • Maya Hayuk Neon Geometric Mural at Bowery and Houston

SHARE THIS STORY

I knew I had to photograph an amazing couple in front of Maya Hayuk’s neon geometric mural at Bowery and Houston the second I saw it. As a lover of creative street art (check out my Instagram account for proof!) I’m constantly thinking on the look out for elevated “graffiti.”

This is a special wall on the corner of Bowery and Houston Streets, on the border of Manhattan’s SoHo and Lower East Side neighborhoods, that’s become an icon for notable artists. The latest installation is nothing short of uplifting. (I have to add I give Hayuk extra credit for this since she painted it during the frigid days of this past winter – Jan/Feb) I smile whenever I see it.

What couple could emulate this happiness and joy I felt whenever I gazed at it best? None other than one of my closest friends, Stacy (the genius and beauty behind How He Asked) and her boyfriend Greg!

Employment is good…) while mine and Stacy’s more flexible schedules allowed us to indulge in breakfast crepes and coffee complete with usual great conversation. Without further ado, here’s what we captured!  Couple's session at the Maya Hayuk geometric neon mural wall on Bowery Street in Manhattan.
