The Kupchik Family

Today I had the pleasure of shooting the Kupchik family at Brandywine Park. It was a beautiful autumn day and the perfect day for portraits. I had a wonderful time and I hope I didn't tire you all out too much!

Memory Walk 2008, Atlantic City

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of shooting the Alzheimer's Association of Delaware Valley's 2008 Memory Walk® in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The weather was perfect---breezy and warm with a gorgeous blue sky overhead---and the participants were excited to be there.

We all know someone touched by Alzheimer's. What I didn't realize until yesterday, is that someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease every 71 seconds. I'm pleased I was able to assist in raising awareness.

Art Safari, Goings On, & Plans

The last several weeks have been busy ones.

I spent a day on an "art safari" with two extremely amazing photographer friends and their three kids, in Philadelphia. We started our day at the American Swedish Historical Museum for Nathan Sawaya's The Art of the Brick™ exhibit. Sawaya is an artist I recently stumbled upon; he creates art from LEGO® bricks. His work is stunning and intricate and it impressed and inspired the six of us.

Thirteen-year-old J's bulldog, below, was created in the museum's interactive building room, adjacent to the exhibit. The show closes November 30th. I highly recommend going before it leaves Philadelphia.

We spent the rest of the day, roaming the city and touring public art and Isaiah Zagar's Magic Garden. Some images from the day:

This Sunday I will be in Atlantic City, New Jersey shooting the Alzheimer's Association of Delaware Valley's 2008 Memory Walk®. If you are in the area and would like to support this great cause by walking, please visit their website for more information.

Next week, I will be taking a much needed break. My birthday is next week, and I will be disappearing for a few days to quietly (and bravely I hope) reflect and connect with my creative side. I plan to spend some time with two women that inspire me and push me creatively. I hope to come away from the time away rested and refueled... and ready for a new year.
