I saw this photo in a retro photography group on Facebook, and it instantly filled me with nostalgia and sweet memories of shopping at the mall. But at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel a little sad; not sad for me, but for my son’s. I actually feel bad that they never got to experience the sheer euphoria of walking through a toy store in the ’80s. Rows upon rows of toys stacked to the ceiling, the jingles […]
I don’t normally feel moved when I hear of the passing of a celebrity, but the passing of David Lynch this week is staying with me. He was more than a filmmaker—he was a true artist that reshaped how I view storytelling.

I had a ritual of tailoring my Avatar’s outfits to match the games I truly enjoyed completing. Whether it was donning the armor of […]
While waiting in line to meet Joe Gatto after his show at the Palace Theater in Albany, I found myself with two hours to admire the historic venue. Built in 1931, the theater’s ornate architecture and timeless charm made it impossible not to reach for my camera. As the line slowly moved, I took the opportunity to capture the intricate details and unique atmosphere of the space. Some of the photos, I think, really do justice to the beauty of […]
