A Mosaic of Them All

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting, and autumn a mosaic of them all."
~Stanley Horowitz

I love these pictures of fall (found here).


And this one:

Do you want to know something fun? This is my best friend Laura on the cover of the Winter/Holiday 2010 Vogue Patterns Catalogue. Isn't she lovely? Laura and I met at a casting in NY aeons ago. We were roomies for several years-- first in Manhattan and then later in Brooklyn. Next time you go to the fabric store you can say, "Hi Laura!!!"

For My Delaware Friends

I shot this a while back, and it came out this month on newsstands.  It's the fall fashion preview and is in the November issue of Delaware Today.  I've shot for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Glamour, and now... Delaware Today!

The First Day of Fall

Photo from my senior class (H.S.) trip to Washington, D.C.  Yes, I am wearing overalls, but you'll have to forgive me as that was the nineties and they were definitely in style then (circa fall 1996).

Delicious autumn!
My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird
I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

~George Eliot

On the occasion of the first day of autumn.  Sadly, that means there are only 89 days until winter officially begins, 93 days until Christmas, and 100 days until the new year.  I'm keeping count...

XOXO,
