Humane Rights for Animals

The 1st Annual Nassau County Humane Rights for Animals Lobby Day was held in Woodmere, Long Island, New York, on April 28, 2011.

Patrick Kwan, New York State Director, Field Services, The Humane Society of The United States, gave a multi media presentation.

He asked the audience to support several bills. One in particular – A.4407 (Lentol)/S.3237 (LaValle) – Close Animal Fighting Loopholes, is designed to prevent animal cruelty and protect the public against animal offenders that are often arrested for felonies, battery related violence, and illegal narcotics.

After the presentation five of us drove to Rockville Center and met with Senator Dean Skelos where Mr. Kwan presented this information again. I was there as photographer and local constituent and I am very pleased to report S.3237 passed on June 3, 2011.

Birthday Surprise at Club G

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!

Fire Island session

The rain stopped long enough for Charly to take her family to Fire Island for a few casual family photos last week. Its hard to take the family dog onto most Long Island beaches this time of year, but you can walk your dog on a leash on Fire Island. Lucky Charly!

Jamie & Elvis

Jamie’s Bat Mitzvah is less than six months away. Marissa, Jamie’s mom and Betsy Low the graphic designer, came up with a great idea for Jamie’s save-the-date card and asked me to shoot some pictures for it. After we got our “work” out of the way Jamie was ready to pose for some personal shots. Such a natural beauty. She radiates. She glows! And I love the way Elvis is posing – especially his paws, they are so expressive. So cute!
