The extremely handsome and adorable M and his dog Parker, with whom I had the pleasure of hanging out this afternoon.
About Me
- I'm a 40 year old mother to a 13 year old girl. I married for the first time in October '05 to an Englishman I met online through work and fell in love with through email. I never underestimate the power of the written word. I'm a cynical woman with an idealistic heart.
And I love photography.

Homecoming at Penn
A couple of weekends ago I shot some events put on as part of the University of Pennsylvania’s Homecoming Weekend.
The Friday night I covered the “Gallery Hop” which began with an exhibit of Jacob Lawrence’s gorgeous prints. We then went to the architectural library to see beautiful drawings and journals from Louis Kahn. The tour ended at the Institute for Contemporary Art where there was an expert lecturing about each exhibit. Fun!
Saturday I had the real joy of going to three different hands-on studio sessions: a clay workshop, a figure drawing class, and a printmaking class in The Common Press. Such gorgeous things to photograph in each!

Worth the Wait
I attended a wonderful, free-spirited wedding between a long-time dear friend of mine and his love.
Married at 50 and I hope they last 50 years together!
Their first dance was to "Bad Things," which happens to be the theme song for the HBO show True Blood.
Best first dance song ever!
The dancing was tons of fun!

Delicious
The 2009 Global Tastes event was a success! I really enjoyed being a part of it and while lighting conditions might not have been ideal, the crowd most certainly was. My only regret is I did not get a chance to taste most of the food! Here are a few shots from the night (these and others will be added to my Events Gallery):
This beautiful woman represented the Russian and Asian cuisine of Tashkent
The event was in the beautiful rotunda of the Penn Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology
People had a great time trying food from so many different restaurants. Here folks are tasting from Gojjo's, an Ethiopian restaurant.
And of course, Mayor Michael Nutter was there to receive the NSC's 1st Beacon of Justice Award!
It was a lovely evening and a great way to raise money for an important organization.
