I’m back from Review Santa Fe, and instead of a lengthy introspective post, I thought I’d just give some shout outs to people who made the weekend fun and interesting and whose work I liked.  So here’s to you in [...]

Mine.

I got one of the best gifts ever this weekend and for no real reason other than the fact that my husband rules.  I have been wanting this book for so long.  I never thought I would own it.  I was doubtful I’d even get to flip through one at any point. [...]

I just got back from three days in South Beach shooting in some of the craziest weather conditions ever (in my shooting experience…probably not in the overall history of weather).  I expected hot.  Really hot.  I did [...]

So, two cool things are happening today.  Number one is another conversation with yours truly that just went up on the Nymphoto blog.  I like this conversation/interview a lot.  It’s honest and an accurate take on my feelings on photography, both commercial and personal. [...]

I’ve done a bit of complaining lately.  I mean, trust me, I had good reason, but it’s time for some positivity.  Some good things have happened recently…in no particular order:

I saw Exit Through the Gift Shop.  This is a must see documentary for anyone making art, anyone who is thinking about [...]

This weekend I went to NYC for a very brief amount of time.  I got in at 10pm on Saturday night, did a shoot on Sunday, and left at 9am Monday morning.  Coincidentally, the husband was also in town for his own work stuff.  On my way from the airport to the hotel, [...]

Texas Forever!

If you are in the LA area this Friday, April 30th, please please pretty please come down to the opening of Transplants at THIS Gallery.  I’m excited about the idea of this show as so few people are from LA, yet we all wound up here some how, some way.  I [...]

In response to some of the comments I received on the post, I’ve Got Spirit. Yes, I do., I wanted to clarify my purpose in writing about the whole generational/when one is born and how it affects one’s chances theory.  I don’t think that at 33 I’m old or washed up or not [...]
