Humble Beginnings 1

My first photo show at the 4th Street Photo Gallery in 1991. I met Alex Harsley when I lived around the corner from the gallery on 2nd Avenue in New York City, back in 1990 and he gave me my first exhibit of photographs a year later. It was dedicated to my grandparents, George and Nilda Follini who had a profound influence on my life. More about them next post...here is the family all gathered around in the gallery and a younger version of myself up front. My grandfather died that year and my grandmother was present at the show. Alex gave me this photo 2 weeks ago when I visited him at the gallery 20 years later. This Boulder Wedding Photographer is glad to have this awesome memory.

Happy New Year 2011

We just had 1/1/11. Wishing all a great 2011.
A few more from NYC ...the Metropolitan Museum is a great way to end the year along with central park and the great lawn!

Christmas Day, then the blizzard!

Every year we eat homemade raviolis in soup on Christmas. A treat like none other. And we got to be at the beach!

Ending another Year

A 5 day trip to NY for Christmas turned into 10 due to a blizzard on the 26th. This Boulder wedding photographer was very happy to be in New York City! Just back home today, reveling in the aftermath of 3 days in NYC, and days of family, food, rest, 'home'. It's good medicine. And my 'mutha' took excellent care of us!
I left my computer and my charger for my favorite point and shoot the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 behind, so photos were limited but conscious.
After days of not posting I will go back to the start of the holiday week, just as we end it with the end of 2010. By the way, I LOVE New York City! We flew into New York with the full moon over the water as we entered into the city lights.
