Prom

The son of my dear friend Ruth went to the Herndon (VA) High School prom yesterday with his date.
Rite of passage, Parents. Stretch Hummer limo. Cash. Corsages. Pastel dresses.Tuxes. Beaming parents. Hormones.
A gathering in a suburban backyard to mark & begin the festivities.

Anthropology...

French elegance, Mozart, & the results...

Shot a job in the French Ambassador's residence in Washington.

Mozart's piano sonata #20 in D minor echoing through my brain.

April Fool!

This is the thirty first of this annual series.

Many blessings, and joy!

Good Day Sunshine

I had a good day on assignment in Baltimore. After my shoot, I visited with my daughter Emma, and with my friend & young colleague, Mimi Xang Ho. They are both artists, students at Maryland Institute College of Art. Vision & communication.
Mimi & I went to a beautiful garden... a quiet vision of beauty, of peace on earth

COMEDY!

First Day of Spring-from my Garden

Hillary Clinton

I photographed Senator Clinton for the Appalachian Regional Commission today.
It was her third speech of the day- and it was only 9:30 in the morning.
I looked to see if she was wearing running shoes. Nope- low heels.
So... I photographed her speaking.
I am always struck by how gracious- and how exceptionally intelligent- she is.

Purim/Fabrangen

Images from Purim at my chavurah, Fabrangen.
Always a bizarre pleasure.
Prayer and corny, raucous revelry.
