To Colorado with Love
My best friend moved to Colorado and there was no other option for me than to spend Thanksgiving in her new state with her. At the airport before leaving my ride called out to me, “Have fun. Be safe. Don’t talk to strangers.” My reply: “Ha ha ha ha ha. You’re funny.” Colorado is a […]
David & Diana
I received a frantic call on a Friday night that the photographer for a friend of a friend of a friend’s wedding canceled and the wedding was the NEXT DAY and could I please, please, please fill in? By saying yes, I walked into the strangest, most delightful wedding of all time. This El Salvadorean/Mexican […]
Photo Adventure
I have beautiful friends. There’s nothing like a summer photo adventure with Marla, Ciara, Ephraim and baby Sequoia. We ate Indian food, ice cream, narrowly avoided getting hit by a bus. It was great.
Sometimes Screaming Helps Launch
So, I know this isn’t a travel type adventure, it’s more of a courage type adventure. I’ve been writing on my personal blog sometimesscreaminghelps.com for a few years and I decided to turn a few of my most poetic posts into video blogs. Here is my first try:

The best thing about my time in Los Angeles is that I was only five hours away from my friends in Arizona. Brandon and Nelson Piersol are quite possibly the coolest people I have ever met. And I mean cool. Pierced and tatted and smart and funny and the world’s best parents. I had so […]

A bold one.”–Beth Roberts, Bald Solidarity Reposted from SheLoves Magazine: I’ve shaved for Bald Solidarity twice and I know I am likely to do it again, because if I ever have a daughter I want to look her in the face and say, “Baby, we fight […]
Brad Pitt is even better looking in person.
It’s true. Brad Pitt is even better looking in person. I know this because while working as a volunteer in New Orleans my friends and I talked our way onto “the list” for a press conference with Brad Pitt launching his Make It Right Foundation. Here are some of the photos I captured of one […]
India, 2006
I will be forever indebted to India for infecting me with a travel bug that I’m sure I will never cure. And for teaching me that food can be more than edible—it can be a taste-bud explosion. And for schooling me in my ideas of compassion and love and celebration. India, you have my heart.
