I love my pugs more than I have ever loved pets before. As you know, I photograph them often- most of the time while they are wearing silly outfits. They sleep with us. We talk about them like most people talk about their children. The thought of any harm coming to them puts my stomach…

While watching the Super Bowl we were wondering why the Patriots were flapping their arms like birds when they’d get a touchdown. I said it must be because they were mocking the Eagles. Not very nice. Hale had some argument to that, he was rooting for the Pats. My Mom piped up- “Well, that’s just…

New year, new space, new happenings.

My mom and I were talking about pirates, mermaids, gypsies, and genies and the conversation turned to superpowers. We were thinking about which ones we’d pick if we were limited to 3. Mom said she just wants one- to be invisible. That’s a good one, but I’d still go for 3. I’d pick the ability…

What an adorable way to raise money for pug rescue! I’m a sucker for vintage prints anyway, and I love a good martini, but add a pug and I’m sold! Click on the picture to enlarge.

Here is a better pic of my new nephew Joey- he’s more alert now with his eyes open more. So sweet- he makes all these little coo noises when he eats. Click on the pic to enlarge. Now, on to my first nephew, Jake. This boy will be 2 on March 30. Even so, at…

I go through spells where I won’t see a movie for a while, and then I’ll watch a ton. Recently I’ve watched quite a few: The Village (in bits and pieces, but I’m in no hurry to watch it all the way through), Little Black Book, Cinderella Story, First Daughter, Master & Commander, Paparrazi, and…
