    Meet&Greet #1: Heh heh heh, gotta smile for the Democrat.

    Whenever you photograph anyone important, the client is a nervous wreck.  I’ve never understood this.  They are paying said VIP a large amount of money to speak, and sometimes to meet their important attendees after a speech.  Yet, they are NERVOUS.  I’ve made a career of keeping everyone calm:  the client, the minions, the secret […]

    Arbitrary Story #2: It's A Bird, It's a Plane….

    ***Note:  These Arbitrary Stories have NOTHING to do with my business.  They are just some of my favorite stories**** When I was in college, I dreamed of flying.  To Fly was my favorite movie at the Smithsonian, I watched it again and again until my neck hurt from staring up at the Imax screen.  And, […]

    Death by Cubicle (addendum to conclusion)

    ***This seems to have been partially eaten by my blog….it was in a strange order.  So, I’ve re-posted to correct.)*** “What are your plans with Target?” asked the blonde haired, tall woman who was the boss of my boss. My heart was in my mouth.  I’d just told my manager, Dave, a few weeks ago, […]

    Arbitrary Story #1: Delicious Nutria Goulash, $12.95 (A savory mixtureof nutria, herbs and broth served with a side of fries. Pairs well withSutter Home Pinot Noir)

    ***Note:  These Arbitrary Stories have NOTHING to do with my business.  They are just some of my favorite stories**** Shortly after I left Target (TAAR-JAAAAY), I still lived in bum-fuck nowhere, better known as Tyaskin, MD.  Tyaskin was a desolate little town dropped on a spit of swamp where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Nanticoke […]

    Photos from Ground Zero (conclusion: The Birth of US Event Photos)

    There were more photos.  A lot more.  I can’t find them.  They are on negatives, somewhere, but these are all I could salvage.  Later, I put all the photos into a presentation called, “The Day Our Heart Stopped.” But really, that day — that was the day my heart started beating.

    And the Buildings Came Tumbling Down In All Directions (Part 3: TheBirth of US Event Photos)

    September 13th broke bright and clear, just like the two days prior.  A picture perfect early fall day, the sun remained behind the veil of smoke that blanketed New York City. He Who Shall Not Be Named and I rose from bed, and took the subway — yes, the subway — as close as we […]

    The Day I Became a Photographer: September 12, 2001 (Part 2: The Birthof US Event Photos)

    Before I joined my mom in the photography business, I worked for Target.  Before I worked for Target (or TAR JAAAAY), I owned an aquarium store in Salisbury, MD, called “Cool World”. Cool World specialized in high end salt water and reef fish.  Salisbury, MD, was called the shit house of the eastern shore by […]

    When Mary Met Kennedy (Part 1: The birth of US Event Photos)

    Close your eyes.  Imagine a simpler time, a time long before 9/11 — a time when you could actually enter the US Capitol and meet members of congress without going through a strip search or a cavity scan. Such was how things were back when I was in middle school, and when my mom started […]

    The Broken Road

    My partner, Matthew, and I have been together 7 years, and the day I met him, I felt the road shift. Literally. And not because it was washed out in the deluge of water pouring from the sky — though, in fact, parts of the road were.   I was standing outside.  4:30 am.  Pouring […]

    Maria, Que es Esto? Or, when emulsified fat hits the fire.

    So, Attack of the 50 foot vagina was the first story growing from the convention of plastic surgeons.  But there’s a second story.  And, after reading this, you may decide everything ISN’T better with bacon. Let’s fast forward a year, past the great vagina.  The convention moved from the Mandalay Bay Hotel to Caesars.  Now, […]
