We’ve been in Seattle three weeks and I have to say, we love it more and more each day. It’s cleaner than New York, is less crowded, the food is just as good, and people are very polite (not that New Yorkers aren’t nice people; they just don’t take the time to be polite at times). Kudos, Seattle, kudos for flying under the radar so long. Who knew?
Silent in Seattle

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom
You’re still the most beautiful lady I know.
Soundtrack of My Life: The Early Years
My father used to sing this song to me when I was a wee nugget as he played his guitar. This explains everything. Magical stuff. Cartoons were so much better then. So was the acid, apparently.
I’ve Been Busy
One of the reasons I moved to Florida was to take a break from production and pursue my first love and obsession, photography. I will continue photographing in Seattle, of course, but I will miss all of the people I’ve had the opportunity to photograph. There’s something very special in documenting a moment in someone’s life, freezing them in time. It’s a huge responsibility and I treasure the fact that so many people have trusted me with their memories.
I’ve had the opportunity to photograph some really wonderful people over the last year and a half.
Here are some of the people I’ve had the pleasure of photographing recently before my move to Seattle. Visit my company facebook page for more eye candy.

Be Patient, Be Still, Be Safe, Boston. (Photo Credit: The Illuminator)
Many emotions run through me as I watch what happens in Boston. Anyone who was in New York during 9/11 is more than likely, having flashbacks.
The fear, the anxiety, the sadness… and the stillness. The stillness of waiting to see who, what, where, and when you can leave your apartment safely. When will this end? When will we not have to worry?
And now Day 2 is upon us. I remember how confusing everything was the day after 9/11…still processing what had happened and where we were going from there as smoke flew by my window from the twin towers. Day 2 was a lot to process and what changed me. All one can do is be patient, be still…and be safe, Boston. Stop watching the news. A brighter day is on the horizon.
Somebody That I Used to Know
Someone I knew thirteen years ago, during my spell in the east village, just got in contact to tell me that she still has the photo I took of her on her wall… and that everyone that walks into her apt, compliments it.
It’s moments like these that I’m reminded how much I love photography and love recording peoples’ lives and moments.
Thanks, Ang!
The Meaning of Life
The Rebel House in Boca is Open for Easter Sunday Brunch- Hallelujah!
My favorite restaurant in Boca, The Rebel House, will be serving brunch this Sunday for the first time with a menu they are calling “Wake and Bake” brunch. Appropriate on so many levels for South Florida .
We’re all quite familiar with the deliciousness of their “OG Receipe Fried Chicken & Biscuits”- and I’m particularly fond of their fois gras, Berkshire Pork and Green Chive dumplings, Duck, Pork Belly appetizer, and steak. Now I’m intrigued by the potential of this brunch with items like:
“The Wake and Bake Loco Moto”-grilled burger, fried farm egg, grits, truffle teriyaki emulsion and crispy kale.
“The Pork Belly Benedict” -poached farm eggs, bacon braised kale, griddled biscuit, chipolte hollandaise, and pickled pepper salad.
Short Rib Gruyere Frittata– forest mushrooms, leeks, smoked tomato catsup, and arugla salad.
Of course they have shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, and healthy options like egg white scramble as well as fruit on yogurt for the “safe eaters” in your party. Then again, everything I’ve ever eaten there is delicious so every choice is safe.
Make reservations if you can right now. I live about one hundred feet away from the restaurant and can assure you they will be completely booked if not already. They always are.
And do yourself a favor… plan out what you want to eat ahead of time. It will take a while to decide because you’ll want to try everything. I know I will.
You can find their downloadable menu on their facebook page.

Soundtrack of My Life
If you could create a soundtrack of your life, what would it sound like? I’m beginning a new series of posts… and I’ll begin with this. Reminds me of 1999 in NYC… much better than any “Girls” episode.
