My roots in both; photography and advocacy took hold as they often do, at an unassuming age, without my knowledge of what was happening. My mother, a geriatric nurse, was somehow allowed to bring me to work with her. So, at the age of five, my father would drive me to town on his motorcycle…

At the end of my first session with Andrea, Dan and their, then, two year old son Christian, she disclosed that they hoped to have another baby in the near future asked me about a Watch Me Grow Series. The Watch Me Grow series documents the milestones of the first year of life. As a…

Photo Documentary: The Cape May Brewing Company in Cape May New Jersey was one of the only breweries that showed up on my search for beach breweries at the Jersey Shore. I recommend anyone stop in any day of the week between 12 and eight, slap down $11, try out a generous sampling of four…

Photo Documentary: Contra Dancing (click on any photo to enlarge) A couple Thursdays ago I found myself at Warren Wilson College outside of Asheville, North Carolina. Most wedding receptions involve a DJ and an open bar, but unimpressed by conventional standards my best friend, Andy Beth, longed to Contra Dance just as she had before…

Photo Documentary: My Best Friend’s Wedding: Part Two Once again, there’s little more I can offer that the smiles on these faces and bright vibrant colors can’t. Enjoy a peek at the intimate fanfare and I know you’ll immediately feel like you’re in on the conversation.

I was elated when my brother welcomed me to his half marathon. While I was waiting for my brother to…

My coffee on the ledge series is one of my longest running series. I receive a huge response whenever I post these images. As I’ve said before, I think the ritual of the morning cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever your poison) is universal. It’s appealing in the mutual ambitions of each participant to…

I few months ago I sat down and wrote my own book. I typed. I clicked. I dragged and I dropped…then I clicked some more. Magically, two to three weeks later: presto! There was a book on my door step. "Oh, book gods, you’ve really out done yourselves.“, I thought as I took in my…

Hurricane Sandy: No Rest In Peace One of the tombstones read, “At the end of the night, there is light.” I found myself really hoping that was true as the days without power drag on. Yet, blessings really have to be tallied in times like these. I haven’t truly lost anything other than power and…
