Sometimes, on a Sunday, our apartment transform into a photo studio. Today, I started shooting the portfolio for Nane Press…letterpress, y’all!

Visit www.nanepress.com.  And check back next month for their new site featuring photography by yours truly! 

So when I started trying to write something to accompany this video, i couldn’t get it right. I wanted to say something important…something to support Jonah, the boy in this video. But the reality is that Jonah does the heavy lifting here. All we have to do is watch.

Thanksgiving got a little delicious this year.That’s pumpkin bread AND pumpkin butter. Death by gourd!

“I just heard a 23-year old woman on tv say that she wants to be just like Kim Kardashian. That’s it, universe…you win!”

Starting to prepare for Christmas and feeling nostalgic, I just dug up the photos from last year’s snowy holiday at home.

It’s that time of year, folks.

Last night was date night. First dinner in Hell’s Kitchen, then a super duper Chinese circus, Bai Xi, at the New Victory Theater. We capped of the night Hugo. I wasn’t sure what to expect. In fact, I thought it was a robot movie. I was afraid of a Robin Williams Bicentennial Man situation. (I should confess here’ I never saw Bicentennial Man…the previews did me in. Actually, I’m afraid of MOST Robin Williams situations. Yikes…)I was dead wrong. The “robot” we see in the Hugo previews is something pretty special. This movie isn’t about the future at all. It’s about the past. It’s about the past in a such a beautiful way that it has awakened in me a whole new love of movies, past and present. You’ll know what I mean when you see it. Aside from the story, which I found really charming, the movie is just so visually satisfying…kind of amazing, actually. The showing we went to was in 3D, which is a trend that’s been driving me crazy lately. I always come from a place of “let a movie just be a damn movie…enough with the gimmick.” This experience may have turned me around on that. Rather than the 3D technology being used to concentrate on “stuff flying at you in your seat,” it seems to be used more now as a way of getting really beautiful depth and drama. I may just be a 3D convert here. Anyway. Check it out. Beautiful. Oh, and Ben Kinglsey’s in it.
