A Softer New York
My first impressions of New York are always of the grimy streets and subways and the overwhelming number of people everywhere. The hustle and bustle has a commanding presence and an allure– that concrete jungle where dreams are made of. But first impressions aren’t always everything. My boyfriend Ernie moved back to New York in…

DUKE DUKE! 2010 NCAA Champions
Yesterday, we boarded a 4pm bus from Boston to head back to New York. We were supposed to arrive back to the city by 8 or 9, with plenty of time to get to the sports bar and watch tip-off at 9:30. Unfortunately, halfway into the trip, with a big THUD, the bus had a…

Austin to Boston
It’s been an amazing two weeks filled with travels, from last week in Austin, Texas to this week in New York and currently, Boston. I’ve spent almost no time in front of the computer, which is both great and terrifying (not checking email for two whole days!?), but at the moment, I’ve got my setup…

Sasha Launer, Flutist | San Francisco Headshots Photographer
It was still early morning when I drove in to the sunset district of San Francisco, thankful for my Fastrak as I whizzed by the traffic on the Bay Bridge. I found Sasha’s apartment on a wide, busy street. Cars were flying by loudly, but inside, it was all peace and quiet. A beautiful space…

Austin, Texas
I’m here in Austin, Texas, with other staff and board members of TaiwaneseAmerican.org as we hold our parallel conference with ITASA Midwest. Wide open spaces, lots of pretty buildings, beautiful blue skies. I’ll be online less this weekend, but I leave you with these images for now.

Margaret & Eric’s Engagement | Berkeley Engagement Photographer
Their relationship is quiet but insistent, punctuated by laughter. It’s built on a deep caring for one another. Simple tasks and quiet discoveries. Long conversations and simply watching television together. It’s not flashy. It’s not a show put on for others. It’s love. Pure, simple, beautiful. No bells and whistles needed. I’ve known Margaret since…

Celeste Johnson | Oakland Headshots Photographer
She’d always thought she might try acting. Her big, bold personality makes it easy to imagine her as a TV host some day. But life as a military wife brought her in a different direction. With the frequent relocation around this country and abroad, and with her priorities targeted on being a wonderful wife and…

Little Isla | Richmond Family Photographer
I remember our first staff meeting two Autumns ago in that transition from summer to fall, vacation to work. We were checking in with each other, talking about how we felt about starting this new school year with all the teachers old and new. I still remember what Aaron/Mr. Gardner, the 8th grade English teacher/DJ/slam…

Moving Freely through Spaces
I love the feeling of moving freely through spaces, walking through cities, and exploring and traveling across imagined boundaries. I can feel my sense of place and belonging expand as I move. I think this sensation is partly why I’ve always loved traveling. This past week has been incredible. Spurred by daylight savings, I’ve been…
