The etymology of photography is pretty simple. Photos is Greek for light and graphos is writing or painting. Sometimes the light you have to paint with takes on magical qualities and sometimes it just seems blunt and unforgiving.

Last weekend I met up with David and Teresa and together we were chasing the disappearing light on the Brooklyn Bridge. The sun had technically set ten minutes before we took these photos and the light and colors appeared magical against the dark blue sky before completely disappearing only moments later.

Seemed like everyone was in love on the bridge.

Sometimes the atmosphere seems to be so full of emotions that it is almost tangible. The resounding laughter travels though the air and and touches everyone around.

Alex and Erin held their ceremony and reception at the Harvard Club in Midtown, a beautiful building with tapestry and lots of taxidermy. There is half an elephant suspended high up on the wall!

Alana Rose Guglielmo created beautiful floral arrangements and I gotta say that I love the long straight tables. Even though the space was large and the guests numerous the setup created intimacy and the touching speeches brought the room together.

Thanks and congratulations Alex and Erin.

So I did this thing with my friend last week for The Feedbag. We are currently working on a larger multimedia piece about…. well, that’s a secret but it will appear here shortly. In the mean time, enjoy the Zen wisdom of chef Suzuki.

Yes, I did eat everything you see him make in the slide show. Two weeks later I am still full.
