Awesome Company: The Polaroid Collection

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon at Sotheby’s in Manhattan looking at the photographs from the Polaroid Collection. This collection contains works by past and contemporary artists.

Choosing Prints For Framing

When I work with my clients for prints that they will frame, I show them different types of prints. There is a variation of effect and interpretation. Online the differences might not seem so apparent. The first photograph is printed on a warmer toned paper, the second on a neutral black & white […]

Supporting Girls

Women’s Expressive Theater has an ongoing series to help teen age girls accept who they are and not try to match peer expectations. It is called the Risk Taker’s Series. About once a month during the school year a group of about 150 teen agers gather to watch a film that relates to […]

Doing Business Portraits For You and Your Profession

I like to think that a portrait, for use in conjunction with your business, should say more about you than a “head shot”. Recently when the colors of fall were at their most brilliant, I worked with Joyce of NYC School Help. The oranges, reds, and golden yellow were perfect for her business. […]
