Posting some throw backs of photos we did with the amazing @calicocomusic. These photos are so dear to me!
These were taken in our first home we owned together. Photos are memories and allow us to access time periods long after they have faded in our actual memories...
It’s also been one of the hardest weeks in my career, and realizing that the world we live in is incredibly divisive and confusing, often pitting comrades against each other over the slightest infractions or mistakes... political correctness can also become a dangerous landscape, and life is more nuanced than the black and white... many of our lives come in different shades and colors... and we all need to be really ready to hold compassion and understanding for everyone’s individual story, not compounding us all into a rigid box... that’s political toxicity at its best!
I never get into politics on here, but I will right now so that my intentions are clear... I am a Puerto Rican Italian Jew, and yes I am jewish, During this incredibly critical period, where many governments are inflicting genocide on innocent people, the Israeli flag has become a symbol of that terror, but it also symbolizes being Jewish, and I mistakenly used the flag emoji to symbolize my heritage and was fired because of that... while yes it was a mistake I didnt deserve to be scorned and berated because of it it could have been a dialogue .. being someone raised in NYC in a mixed ethnic and religious household, and born from a family of political activists, I was floored even after explaining myself over and over again I was judged and shut down .. in addition I work for a middle eastern private practice owner who caters to all ethnicities ! I am a mental health counselor and because of that took an oath to not harm humans, my whole life Is dedicated to healing ..
I wanna be so very clear here in case this person try’s to harm my reputation.. i stand with all marginalized people, and I dedicate my spirit to fighting against oppressive systems... I am a Jew who stands against terror to all of humanity! And I stand with Gaza and Palestine and all nations and people who are oppressed !
It’s been a beautiful ride with this two and can only hope we cross paths again ! Amazing wedding two weeks ago in Brooklyn this is all on film !

I can’t express how much it’s meant to me to finally feel like I’ve found my place up here! I am totally falling in love and so deeply grateful for the community and creative expression @floatsocialclub is offering our mountain town.. it feels like a movement and it will become increasingly critical for us to have deep roots in community as the current state of affairs feels like it’s unraveling us ! I live for this :) and love you all!
These two Elisa and sung ! I had such an amazing little session, their bird watchers and I’ve never met a couple yet who were or who came to a session with bird watching gear, I loved that ! So many more photos to come these are just a few of my fav .. shot on Contax g2 and yashica t4 with 800 and 400 Kodak portra .. what do you all think ? @carbs.png
who takes photos of the photographer ?
our love is the kind of love i only dreamed of, not to imply we never argue, or don`t have to fight for it, but going in to year 10 and feeling extremely settled 2 kids, a love affair that still feels exciting what more can i ask for @earthlumbertree and some other photos i took ..
