off to college

We stopped by to see Sam Corey, who is in the final stages of packing for his first semester of Sarah Lawrence. He is a writer, and I am lobbying him to get a blog to chronicle his college life. Not sure how effictive my efforts were. He is his own man. Here he is surrounded by his dorm room gear, waiting.

I’ve been racking up quite a bit of air miles this year. I just returned from a shooting trip with Kristen Peelle, natively of Fort Worth, who has invited me me shoot a series of amazing weddings this summer in Texas with her.
Last weekend’s wedding was lovely, enormous and full of people, music, dancing. One of my favorite images was from the ceremony. There I was, hiding in the great shadow behind the altar, and I caught a moment. A great, funny, unexpected moment.

And now, after the swelling of my wisdom-tooth-less mouth dies down a bit(does this mean I’ve lost my mental edge- sans wise teeth, avec drugs?); I am off to Boston to shoot over Labor Day weekend. And, of course to take in a game at Fenway; and make it through my bachelorette party Boston-style.

Bethany and Kyle’s adventure wedding in Thailand is featured in the new issue of Destination I Do, and the winter cover is an image I shot of Bethany just after the ceremony on the Thai island of Koh Tao. I am so excited about this, my first cover.

I hope more adventures will come.

many years ago, on a trip to eat pit beef and browse John Waters’ neighborhood of Hamden in Baltimore, I bought this sequined sweater at a vintage shop.

aside from a fabled appearance at a briana ross oscar night party, it has kept a low profile.

last night, on San Diego printmaker Nellie Scott, put in on, and worked it.

Trent’s friend Cathie got us all tickets to see Eliot Yamin, from American Idol, this week. He played a short, lamentably short, set at The Wave House on Mission Beach.

I only brought my p/s so the image quality is poor.
