Hey everyone. It’s been a while. I’ve had a lot going on lately. Last night I returned from 9 days in Beijing. Before that, I was working on Get Hitched, Give Hope. In one night we raised $30,000 for the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. It was an amazing night, and I was so inspired [...]
I just found the work of Elizabeth Flemming via Exposure Compensation and I was instantly in love with her series “Life is a series of small moments.” Click here to take a look.
I’m having an opening for a small show of some of my non-wedding photos tomorrow, Thursday July 17. It’s the Union Center for Healing, located at 2100 E. Union Street (the corner of 21st and Union). That’s where my amazing acupuncturist, Vickie Summers, works along with a group of other great health practitioners.
I’ll be there [...]
Interior design is a hobby of mine, and I am addicted to interior design blogs. The list of design blogs I read fluctuates constantly, but a few staples include: Apartment Therapy, Decor8, Design*Sponge, and Shelteriffic.

I’m an avid reader of Alec Soth’s blog, but I usually skip over his weekly “Friday Poem.” But the first lines of this week’s offering, Philip Larkin’s Lines on a Young Lady’s Photograph Album, snagged me and I read through the whole thing. It’s a good one. You can read it here.
Right now I’m reading Moscow 1941: A City and Its People At War by Rodric Braithwaite. It’s a fascinating book and I just finished a section on women in the Red Army and was astounded to learn that 800,000 women served in in the Red Army during WWII; roughly 40% of doctors at the front [...]
Shorpy, “the 100-year-old photo blog” has a photo posted today that reminded me of a picture I took last December in Washington, DC. Here’s the photo on Shorpy, taken by Louise Rosskam in 1941:
And here’s the photo I took:
At first I thought it was the same store: both are on N Street SE in Washington [...]

How you store your photos are stored has a major impact on your emotional connection to them. My favorite forms or storage are, in order or preference, framing, albums, and boxes. A framed picture becomes a part of your subconscious: I can still vividly recall a trio of summertime photos of my sister taken when [...]
