Warm. Kind. Generous. Tall. Short. Loving.  The bride’s sister Liz read off a huge list of adjectives Karen and David’s friends and family had used to describe them.  I looked around the room and saw a lot of tears and a lot of nodding heads.  Some came all the way from Egypt to see these two tie the knot and it was truly an honor to be their wedding photographer.

A couple weeks ago, I photographed the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts’ Noche de Gala.  The NHFS promotes Latinos in the media, telecommunications and entertainment industries.  Their annual Noche de Gala recognizes students who received scholarships that year and the individuals presented with the organization’s awards.

Also, Jimmy Smits was there.
