MS&L: World Gold Council & Amsale Aberra Bridal Designer



The World Gold Council has teamed up with the bridal designer, Amsale Aberra, to show the eternal beauty of gold on your wedding day. "Gold Makes it a Marriage" was the theme of the day, as Michael Pace, the head of U.S. jewelry marketing at the World Gold Council and the inspirational designer Amsale Aberra, spoke with editors in the penthouse suite of the Surrey Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side. I was hired to create photographs with an editorial feel so the PR firm MSLGroup could distribute the images to magazine and news outlets.

Camp AmeriKids: Summer Session



Camp AmeriKids has been giving Tri-State Area children invected with or affected by HIV/AIDS a chance at a traditional summer camp experience since 1995. Their mission is also to enhance the lives of youth with year-round skill building and a supported transition into adulthood.
I was a counselor for the first time this summer and the experience was life-changing.

I had the pleasure of photographing the musician Allen Stone last week while he was in NYC for his show at S.O.B.'s. I got to spend the day with him and had some fabulous opportunities to take his portrait. Allen is a tremendous talent I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of him...

Wall Street Journal: Eva Zeisel Portrait



Designer Eva Zeisel, 104 and Still At It

(Published in the Wall Street Journal July 23rd, 2011 - edited from an interview by Cynthia Kling)

 

My image of Eva Zeisel was published with an article that ran in the Wall Street Journal. You can view the full article HERE. My personal highlights from the piece are...

"I don't like to design single objects. I like my pieces to have a relationship to each other. They can be mother and child, like the Schmoo salt and pepper shakers, or brother and sister like the Birdie salt and peppers, or cousins, like most of my dinnerware sets."

"My mantra is the playful search for beauty."

"How old do I feel? I feel 104.
