My bookbinder has introduced new cover design elements: one is a vertical or horizontal stripe using japanese book cloth. I am calling them “ribbon books!” There is a combination of color and texture available for every taste. They are offered to all of my special events clients as well as boudoir clients. Another cover option is the weave texture combined with a plain suede. This is a recent Bar Mitzvah album.

Michael’s mother is a goddess, statuesque and beautiful, and she knows how to make a dinner dance party. She picked Guastavino’s tucked into a soaring granite arch of the 59th Street Bridge in midtown Manhattan. It was a dramatic backdrop to a non-stop dance party by On the Move events. During the hora, Michael was lifted up in a chair by his brother Brandon. You can see the love in how they shook him up and down!

Michael will read from the Torah today and celebrate with a party tonight. Yesterday we met me at the Synagogue for a few pictures before the big day.
I love his hair – so artistic. Michael and I met before, at his cousin Jamie’s Bat Mitzvah earlier this year, and he was very quiet. But I know Michael is a hunk in the making and he confident as well.
This is such a great little story. Lynn surprised her husband, Tommy, with a birthday party in a tent, attached to their home, named at the occasion – Club G.
She commissioned an extraordinary tent, draped from ceiling to floor in miles of burgundy velvet. Decked out with everything from lighting fixtures to monogrammed linen napkins…attached to the home! And he believed the party was not for him! Over 100 people kept it a secret. Lynn really pulled it off. The valet that wanted to park the car may have tipped him off just a little…all things considered…he was really surprised when he walked through the front door of his own home and everyone shouted surprise!

Out of the blue, one month ago, a classmate from college, Scott Chaney, called up and wanted to know if I was available for a week long road trip. Scott still shoots 4 x 5 sheet film which requires a ton of gear, lighting and other stuff. I don’t drive manual transmission, so I got to snap a few while Scott drove the whole way…From Long Island onto New Jersey and then through Pennsylvania to Southern Ohio past many many cornfields, and then it was through Indiana up to Illinois just North of Chicago. I tucked my point and shoot into my coat and here are just a few…
