Here’s what happens every winter: I look at my calendar with so much empty space and I say “dang, I’m going to be sooooo bored.” I then proceed to say “yes” to my every tiny whim. For instance, this winter, I was simultaneously taking classes or self-directing learning in calligraphy, Judaism, ceramics, Java programming, guitar and yoga.

Alejandra and Bassem live in the super-vibrant neighborhood of TriBeCa, New York City. I don’t get to roll on up to New York too often, so it’s always exciting for me to do photos there, particularly in a neighborhood I’d never really seen before. My in-laws are out on Long Island (getting completely snowed in today), so I’m always just on the verge of having grand adventures in the city. It’s still super-exciting to just take the train in for the day. Especially when I get to meet up with rad clients like these two.

First of all, it’s my birthday! So that means you’re obligated to comment today and only today (well, sort of tomorrow also but we’ll let it slide) and tell me what you think of my images. Basically no one ever comments and it feels like I’m writing into a void – so on this day, say something! You gotta, it’s my birthday.
