The Butterfly Jar

If you have plans to come out to Brooklyn over the next few weekends, you might want to grab yourself a ticket to see Wonderful Town at the Gallery Players theater in Park Slope.  If you do, you’ll see my husband, Adam singing on stage as Robert Baker, the magazine editor who falls for the writer from Ohio, Miss Ruth Sherwood, in 1935 New York. And Ruth, by the way, is played by the fabulously entertaining Cabaret singer, Molly Pope (Village Voice named, “Best Singer to Turn Life into a Cabaret - 2011”)

$18 for a night of laughter, song and dance? Trust me when I say it’s well worth it. Check out this article on Playbill for more info.!

An inspiring late spring photo shoot with Brooklyn yoga teacher, Rebecca Ketchum becomes part of an enlightening fall article on MindBodyGreen!

9.11.11 - Portrait of the Brooklyn Heights Fire Co., Engine 224 at 274 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY. 

The brave and very warm firemen of the Brooklyn Heights Fire Co. I thought they might want their picture taken today to remember so I knocked on their door to offer. Felt great to meet these guys and to shake each of their hands and I can’t wait to drop off the prints I ordered for them when they arrive.  Remembering to love and to engage in random acts of kindness are two things I’m thinking a lot about today… What about you?

So, Thursday I photographed Rebecca Ketchum - a beautiful and multi-talented yoga teacher from Williamsburg.  We took lots of different kinds of photos (for her new website and for mine!) which made the shoot so much fun.  From the kinds of shots I posted yesterday (which inspired me to include some of my favorite quotes) to some others that are now in my lifestyle section on my website and to some other more playful shots like this one.

What I learned is sometimes it’s fun to play around, lighten the mood and try new things! It definitely got us all laughing and feeling even more creative than before.
