While shooting for the Food Bank NYC last week @ Union Square Green Market I could not resist snapping a quick shot of these beautiful, colorful tomatoes! I never liked tomatoes, I have eaten them twice since this shoot!

Just got my foam magazine's-A Book of Beds in the mail ... love it! A photograph that I took as part of my ongoing documentary project on my Aunt Grace, who has Alzheimer's is featured. I am bummed that her doll that she spends so much time propping up to perfection is in the crease of the book!-but regardless, really glad to be part of it!

childhood memories

As a child I would spend hours in this bathtub. Sometimes with my sister and maybe my cousin if she happened to be over. But I loved having it all to myself! A bubble bath and my barbies were all that I needed. As I got older, I would blast the radio on KC101 and hang in the tub, read a book or talk on the phone. Many great memories in this tub...

As a child I would visit aunt grace at her home. Each time, I felt as though I were in a secret wonderland filled with marvelous dolls, stuffed animals, and interesting colorful things that always fascinated and entranced me. Today I still get the warm feeling of safety and nostalgia when I enter her home.
