20’s themed Brooklyn Botanic Garden Centennial Celebration!

June 2nd I was honored to shoot for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as they celebrated their 100th year with a kickass 20’s themed picnic!

From their site:
“Members gathered for a fantastic evening to officially kick off BBG’s centennial season. Guests danced to music from the 1910s and 1920s, performed by Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra, and enjoyed picnicking and relaxing on the grass as the sun set on Cherry Esplanade. Many members came out in their Jazz Age finest to celebrate, and with a roving magician, old-fashioned treats, and unbeatable weather, it was a perfect celebration of 100 years of BBG.”

Protest at the BP station on Houston St.

Like many of you I am outraged about the oilspill in the gulf and the fact that it is STILL not ‘plugged up’ yet… When I got word that there’d be a demonstration at the BP station on Houston Street I was excited– should I participate (by dressing up like sealife and pouring “oil” on myself) or document… well, it seems documenting was the popular choice! The ratio of photographers to actual demonstrators was probably 15:1! I’m totally serious. We live in an age of constant documentation I suppose. A bit sad really, though i’m not in a position to complain. [slideshow]

Anne & Bret’s Engagement Portraits at Central Park

Anne and Bret live in Connecticut and are getting married in the mountains upstate on June 26th. It’ll be a rustic weekend getaway with their family and friends– I can’t wait! We did their engagement shoot at Central Park and I just LOVE this western/gingham shirt Anne wore– that plus the boots and her amazing hair made for a unique look that really inspired me. Congratulations Anne and Bret!
