Sara and I worked very hard yesterday, and while I was photographing Shai’s bat mitzvah, Sara continued to pull the studio together. Today she primed the cyc (a.k.a.: infinite wall) and finished building the desks up in the loft. Yippee!



Marnie’s celebrating her bat mitzvah in a couple weeks, and she had the distinction of being the first person I photographed at my new space. Actually it was exactly five hours after the moving van left! I photographed Marnie on the lawn outside my studio.
She and her parents are wonderful people, and I look forward to being entrusted with telling the story of their wonderful “simcha”.
Mazel tov to Marnie and her family!

After a couple years in my space on Burlingame Avenue, I am finally moving into a spacious, beautiful space on the other side of Burlingame off of Rollins Road.
Sara and I packed up the studio over the last few days, and the movers are coming first thing in the morning on Friday.
And our first photoshoot in the new space begins next Tuesday! Oy vey…




It was a whirlwind of art, food, wine and fond memories, and now we’re back home. Max and Sam enjoyed their time with their Grandma, Walter seems no worse for the wear, and Lara (our Italian exchange student) is a delightful, lyric addition to the usual goings on around here.
Thanks for all the well-wishes!

Edgar Degas made the original version of this sculpture, petite danseuse de 14 ans (“small dancer aged 14”), in wax, and it was cast in bronze after his death. It is one of the multitude of treasures we beheld yesterday at the Musée d’Orsay here in Paris.
