Vermont was the perfect weekend getaway to kick off the new year. We did intend to go skiing initially, but the poor snow conditions meant we skipped the slopes and stuck to the cozy cottage and all the small-town cheese and maple syrup shops.

More Philly adventures! I was back in Philly again this month, hanging out with Justin and exploring the city. Here is an assortment of snapshots from around town. To kick it off, the Free Library of Philadelphia. I went in search of a book on Robert Mapplethorpe’s “The Perfect Moment” exhibit that toured the country…
The last weekend of September, I headed to NYC for a brief visit from Philly. It was perfect timing, because we got out of town while Philadelphia was shut down for the Pope’s visit; I got to photograph my clients’ engagement session in Central Park, and Boba Guys was following me all the way from SF for their pop-up in Manhattan too. This…
The Fairmount district of Philadelphia is marked by a row of world-class museums and sprinkled throughout with streets lined with brownstones. And then right in the middle of the neighborhood is a huge former prison: The Eastern State Pentitentiary. It was the first prison truly designed with ‘penitence’ (reform vs. punishment’) in mind, and its design became…
Rooftop views, summer pop-ups, cute restaurants, and lots of awesome art installations. Summertime in Philly. Gorgeous views over the city from Le Bok Fin, a temporary pop-up at the former technical school. I made a half-hearted attempt to get a pizza from Pizzeria Beddia, which was recently crowned the Best Pizza in America by Bon…

Her sister’s wedding brought them together four years ago, when they found out that Ami and Arjun’s mothers were actually childhood friends in India and had just reconnected. At the time, both Ami and Arjun had just graduated from college and were working in New York City, so they went out for dinner (where incidentally Ami was all dressed up for…
