Ice Mountain
We were shooting water bottles in the studio this week for Marcus Thomas- depicting cool and refreshing during this sweltering heat wave!
Hopefully this will help you to remember to hydrate- tap water, bottled water, sparkling water- whatever works for you.
Stay cool!
“Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.” - Berenice Abbott
The New York Times online this week published my audio/photo story about Sue and George Roby.
The New York Times Online
Sue Roby tells her story in this collection of ‘essays’. George Roby follows follows with his optimism and support. It was an honor to spend time with this courageous couple. Sue’s willingness to face her future with an open mind and heart, and George’s insistence to be of service, are an inspiration.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sue and George, as well as with all others who are facing Alzheimer’s disease.

Cover- Cleveland Clinic 2010 Calendar
We completed photography for the 2010 Cleveland Clinic calendar in mid-November and I could not wait to share it! What a fabulous project. CCF graphic designer Anne Drago’s concept was just the challenge for Taxel Image Group to wrap up this year. We started with a list of fifteen ‘wellness’ programs for Cleveland Clinic employees and patients that Anne wished to represent with striking, creative photography.
After some intense brainstorming and scouting, we narrowed the list down to twelve programs and proceeded to photograph everything from fitness equipment to blackberries, and from measuring tape, electrocardiogram leads, running shoes and artichokes to a waterfall, nicotine gum, acupuncture needles, hands, yoga mats, and colanders. We attempted to photograph each subject from a unique and unexpected perspective while creating visual patterns of color, shape, and light.
