When my husband and I stumbled upon the film “Once” at our the Chelsea, our local independent theater (why aren’t there more independent theaters????), we just fell in love with it. For those of you who have seen it, you know what I’m talking about – it just washes over you. I had the concrete […]

After my post about Senator Obama, I got an interesting phone call from my friend, client, and fellow photographer Katie Williams. It turns out that her mother, Hallie, has been following the blog since I photographed her grandchildren. She had the thought that she would love to see similar images of Senator Clinton. As a […]

I so appreciate the very cool feedback and emails I received after posting some photographs of Barack Obama (and Annie!!). One of the things I was asked most often was if I could post some more images. I will definitely do so later, after the magazine goes to press, but I do have clearance to […]
