The greatest learning~
It often happens to me like it did today when I come back from teaching photography to children feeling like they actually did all the teaching.

Day 24~ November 24th~ New York
Of the many strange things I have done in my life, one of them was deciding to live in Roosevelt Island. I did that for a year and every morning, the strangeness of that place grew and every evening I wondered why is it that a place can make you feel that way. A small…

Day 23~ November 23rd~ New York
