Copacabana, Lake Titicaca, and Island of the Sun
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

After dragging ourselves away from La Paz, we made a day long pit stop in Copacabana to see the highest navigable lake in the world — Lake Titicaca.  I have no idea what the name translates to, but the obvious gutter jokes make for a lot of laughs.  The town of Copacabana is quite lovely [...]

Never Say ‘Unemployed’ at Customs
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Arriving back in the ol’ US of A.  Always good for a dose of reverse culture shock.  Even more so when changing planes in Charlotte, North Carolina where the speech is slower and the hair is bigger.  This is how it went:
Customs Agent: “Whur have ya been?”
Me: “Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru.”
CA: “What [...]

Maccu Picchu: Good, Bad, Beautiful, & Ugly
Monday, April 5th, 2010

It´s been awhile since I´ve posted, but I have good reason for that — I´m traveling sans laptop meaning no photoshop meaning no pretty photos for you (yet, that is).  But I have a good reason for writing and I want to do it while it´s still fresh in my mind.  Last night I got [...]

Aleesha Renee: Sure BET
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

This lovely lady stopped by the Honey Headquarters to tell us about her life as a Veejay and prep for the BET awards that took place on Sunday.  She’s super cute and full of energy.  It was a joy playing dress-up with her.
On another note, I have a quick peeve to discuss.  Because I was [...]

Why I Should Live in the Desert
Friday, November 28th, 2008

A few weeks ago I happened to be upstate in the place where I was born and raised – Watertown, NY.  Chances are you’ve never heard of this place.  Don’t feel bad.  I certainly spent a couple of years trying to forget it.  However, if you know of this remote locale, I guarantee your first [...]

Pace Alumni Show: Good and Bad News
Thursday, November 6th, 2008

First, the good news: ALL of the photos I submitted were accepted into the show!  Everyone who commented before the submission deadline will get prints.  Thank you, again, for helping me out.  My scatterbrain needed it.
However, there is also some unfortunate news.  It seems the art program is full of disorganized artists (shocking!) and kept [...]

Daylight Savings and A Bunch of Strange Boys
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

This weekend one of my least favorite things of the year occurred.  The clocks turned back an hour.  The extra hour of comatose goodness was welcome and necessary, especially since a) it was a holiday weekend which meant at least one long night and b) there was a house full of boys that needed to [...]

A Generation of Hipsters
Friday, July 25th, 2008

Their plaid shirts makes them hip.  And their sense of irony keeps them cool in the hot summer sun.

The Red Light District and Some Thoughts on S.E.X.

This is the Red Light District in Amsterdam.  I stayed there for 4 days and this was actually off of the back patio of the bar at my hostel.  I was absolutely not supposed to be taking pictures (notice the sign in the first window), or even be out there [...]

To See Stereotypes in the Flesh

I spent this 4th of July weekend in the Hamptons at an 8 bedroom “house” that a friend rented for the month (apparently the owner of the place is President of Capitol Records — he was there the first night, but didn’t go out with us because he had [...]
