My friend Eileen just had her first book published, and one of my photographs was chosen to use for the cover! I’m honored to be associated with such an amazing project, which chronicles the life experiences of growing up with a sister who is autistic. Be sure to check out the website for dates and locations for her upcoming book tour.

Thanh-Tam and Hans were New York coworkers and cubicle-mates that fell in love and stayed that way through six years of work, school, and travel. Their wedding at La Posada in Santa Fe, New Mexico was a moving testament to the power of love. As supporters of marriage equality, both Thanh-Tam and Hans believe that all loving couples deserve the same legal rights, benefits, and respect that civil marriage bestows. As a lovely gesture to that sentiment, Thanh-Tam elected to not do the traditional bouquet toss and instead chose to give the bouquet to a close friend who isn’t allowed the freedom to marry. This progressive gesture made the wedding all the more memorable and touching for everyone who was there to witness it, and I for one felt honored to have met two such lovely people.

My friends Anne and Jeff Grimaldo recently asked me to photograph their modern dance performance at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica. Even though I’ve known Anne and Jeff for a few years now, I had never seen them dance before, and I have to say that it was artistically inspiring to see what they do and take a deeper look at the experience of movement.
