Whenever I have some free time, I like to participate in some of the photography groups on Flickr. This weekend, the Pretty Pink Themed Weekend Challenge suggested a face painting theme, so I happily obliged. I never wear much pink in my day-to-day attire, but I love the way the color translates onto “film.” This [...]

I’m in Ljubljana. Can you pronounce that? Or spot it on a map? For those good with geography know that Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia, a country part of the former Yugoslavia. It is conveniently located near Italy, Austria, and Croatia and is the perfect place to catch up on a little R&R, drink [...]

Tagged Eminem, Lady Gaga, MTV, Video Music Awards, VMALots of exciting news in New York City this week! Did anyone catch the MTV VMAs last night? I’m dancing around the house to Beyoncé’s and Michael Jackson’s choreography–but not at the same time. Because I’m in such a good mood, and because it’s Fashion Week, I will share a lighting set-up from last season.

Exactly one year ago, a devastating natural disaster ripped through Galveston, Texas and claimed the lives and homes of many. Three months after the tragedy, I surveyed Crystal Beach on the Bolivar Peninsula to get a firsthand look at the wreckage.

9/11/01 was the most harrowing day of my life. I cannot begin to describe the horror or the stench that lingered in the city for weeks to follow. I had nightmares for a solid year. And I currently work in a building where [...]
I’m in Houston, Texas. The people here smile and say hello, Jello Pudding Pops made a comeback, and something strange keeps hitting my face giving it a warm, vibrant glow. I later recognize it as sunshine.
