Todos Nós Gostamos Barcos

While I was traveling for work this past week, I stopped at an airport newsstand to see what reading material I could get as a back up to the book I'd brought with me, and instantly noticed the cover of the travel magazine Afar, which proclaimed that the new rule of travel was to "go solo." While I'm lucky enough to have a travel partner whom I love and love to travel with -- my fantastic husband, Charlie -- I admit that I also really enjoy traveling by myself. Afar notes tha

We Can Be Heroes

On the recommendation of a good friend, I'm reading Dataclysm, a book that examines the predictive and descriptive value of aggregated individual personal online data for human nature more generally.

So I'm Back

I’m fortunate to have had a number of opportunities to exhibit my photos so far this year; in NYC, on Long Island, and elsewhere nationally.
