10 on 10 April

This past weekend was a whirlwind. All centered around Idina Menzel.

Also known as Adele Dazeem according to John Travolta. Elsa according to every child under 8.

The opening of her Broadway show If/Then brought together friends from all over the country and Canada. Friends who hadn’t seen each other in years. Friends who hadn’t yet met.

From photo walks to first time Central Park visits. From space elevators to personalized M&Ms. From Staten Island Ferries to celebrity spotting. From going backstage to being on a Broadway stage.

I am truly grateful for this wonderful group of friends.

10 on 10 February

These are my favorite days. Days where you do nothing and everything.

Tales of cliff jumping and mud sliding in Puerto Rico. Binge watching cooking shows. Beautifully cold days that make you want to veg on the couch. Tag team cooking and eating ice cream.

Best friends.

Project 52, DONE!

New project, 10 on 10. Pick a day and shoot. Post 10 images on the 10th of every month for a year.

With only 10 days to figure out what to shoot for January, in the middle of a snowstorm, during the most frigid week ever, I decided to stay inside and turn the camera on myself.

I hope I don’t scare you away.
