I spent a few days in Tucson, where I observed an Operation Streamline proceeding in Federal Court, went on a 10 kilometer hike in the Arizona desert with the Samaritans of Tucson, and generally acclimated to the heat before heading further south to the twin border towns of Nogales, Arizona – Nogales, Sonora. I left...

Rea + Emmett
Just say macaroons and I’m there. I met Emmett and Rea for the first time at the Four Seasons in Georgetown, over their dessert tasting sampler. Popping a macaroon in my mouth, I pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I got big hugs from both of them. Instant rapport. I’d already been all...

Bryce + Boaz at the Tabard Inn 6.12.11
I love the Tabard Inn, especially in the winter. You can settle into a deep armchair or sit on one of the stiff sofas near the fire, sipping scotch or hot toddies and pretend you’re somewhere in the English countryside. The fish tacos are better than any I’ve ever had in Mexico. The National Geographic...

Billed as three days of peace, love and photography, the festival transforms the small pedestrian mall in downtown Charlottesville into both an indoor and outdoor venue for screenings, exhibits, open air projections and lectures by legacy artists such as Mary Ellen...
Olivia + Sean’s backyard Memorial Day Weekend wedding
God, what a relief to be in a deep, verdant Chevy Chase backyard with its riot of flowering trees and shrubs and an eclectic assortment of friends and family instead of anywhere near the Mall with Rolling Thunder and other logistical Memorial Day Weekend, DC headaches. After the ceremony, I jumped into my Subaru Outback...

I spent close to five weeks in Mexico in January and February, visiting migrant shelters in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz, San Luis Potosi, and Coahuila as part of my ongoing project photographing Central American migrants. For safety reasons, I had to abandon my initial plan of traveling from Mexico City to the U.S....
Jake’s Bar Mitzvah Bash at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfax
What’s not to like? I have the palette of a twelve-year old. A slider and ice cream sundae buffet and jars of Gummy Bears is my idea of an epicurean delight. Thank you Amy and Charles for choosing me to document this wonderful day in your lives.
