Somewhere Cinderella is Green With Envy
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

An old friend of mine, Ashley, got married last weekend and asked me to photograph the girls getting ready before walking down the isle.  It really was a privilege to see and photograph my friend transform into an exquisite bride.  I left out the fotos of her in her undies since apparently we’ve grown up [...]

The Only Person Who is Exactly My Size
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

…is my lovely friend, Nina.  Quite some time ago we had a conversation that went something like this:
“I think you’re smaller than me.”
“No, I think you’re smaller than me.”
“Well, I think I’m shorter than you, but you’re skinnier than me.”
“I don’t think so.  How about we just agree that we’re the same size?”
“OK.”
Now please excuse [...]

My Friend is Married
Monday, March 16th, 2009

Over the weekend I attended an old friend’s wedding in Utica, NY. This was the first wedding I have been to outside of family and I was completely unprepared for the emotional roller coaster that I unconsciously boarded. It made me feel old that my friends are getting married (there were 3 others [...]

My Christmas Wish
Monday, December 22nd, 2008

I have this absurd notion that when I head home tomorrow (aka: the Arctic), that I will find some boy that is going to want to whisk me away on a ski trip for New Year’s.  I’m not quite sure where this idea came from, but as I was packing I found myself grabbing for [...]

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 [...]

Maybe it’s the short skirts that are the problem.
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

The other day I was telling someone about how I’ve become friends with an ex and that it’s the most relaxed and easy friendship I have right now.  He pointed out that it’s probably because he’s not trying to jump my bones.  And I think he’s right.
This has led me to analyze every opposite sex [...]

Paradiso Trovati in Monterosso
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The water was warm from a long day in the sun.  They were tired and hungry, but enveloped in unexpected awe and a happiness that would linger for a long time.  It was a day to look back on and smile.

My Clothes Still Look Better on Her
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

They were friends since Kindergarten, and though they don’t see each other all that often anymore, they still understand one another in a way that is only possible when you’ve known someone since you were barely out of diapers.  While the other kids were learning how to share their toys and say “I’m sorry,” the [...]

A Likeness to Bees
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Click the image to view larger version.
Bees are very interesting creatures.  They create something so sweet and delicious that the name has become the most natural term of endearment (“Honey, I’m home!”).  A bee’s life is so purposeful and ordered – they don’t rationalize why they do what they do.  If their tiny little brains [...]

Tip of the Day: MySpace is NOT for Dating
Friday, June 20th, 2008

At least that isn’t what I use it for.  And if you think it is and send me messages like these, be prepared for mockery.

Here’s a tip just for you, Paul: go to a yoga class.  Chicks love them.  And it seems like the kind of ladies you are looking for probably don’t love messages [...]
