WAITING FOR THE WHAT

While I was living in New York this year, I started a new body of work about the people who go down to the Brighton Beach broadwalk in Brooklyn. I spent a lot of time down there where I walked and talked with many of the locals, and then I became very intrigued by the people sitting on the benches staring out to the ocean. What are they thinking about? Who are they? What lives have they lead? What stories do they have to tell? What are they waiting for? Since seeing the aftermath of Sandy last week, these people have been on my mind a lot . I hope they are all okay. I have read stories about elderly being stuck in their apartments since the storm.

The Cream Event – New York City

The Cream Event took place in New York last Tuesday and it was such a joy to be part of , meet many wonderful creatives and dance my ass off to The Flashdance... 5 days later and my body is still feeling all kinds of sore.

The Cream event is hosted by the lovely Paige and Kelly from Bash, Please  out of Los Angeles.  It is one all mighty showcase for brides and grooms seeking different inspiration then the standard wedding fan fare. I remember when I first started shooting weddings back in 2003, it was a completely different world. I’ve thanked the many moons and stars that the wedding industry has some amazing movers and shakers in it and have turned weddings into a whole lot of crazy fun.

 Let me  introduce you to a lovely bunch of creatives that I admire.
