I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be holding my debut photography exhibition next month at FreeCandy in Brooklyn June 30th. Needless to say I’m very excited about it and I think you should be too!
The exhibition is called “Unposed.” It is a compilation of portraits of people throughout NYC and elsewhere in various states of expression. None of the subjects had any idea they were having their photo taken, hence, the title. The people in the photos are complete strangers to me and the voyeuristic nature of the images makes them incredibly interesting.

It’s been 2 years since I lost my beloved grandfather, who is more than just a grandfather to me. He was my father, my #1 supporter and my friend. I have no platform to express how I feel today, except for this one.
Although I haven’t lived in Philly, where he lived, for a very long time, and I did not see him everyday or even every week, I still miss him like crazy. He wasn’t perfect by any means, but he was ALWAYS there. It’s painful to know that the person who protected me and my aunts, my mother and my Nana for so long is no longer around. Trust in believe that up until the day he died he would have still bust a cap in anyone who messed with his girls and his only grandson. It’s a very vulnerable and uncertain feeling not to have him walking this earth. I still remember his voice, even though I hadn’t heard it since 2004. I wish he was here, even though, I know he isn’t.
I hope that I am making decisions that he is proud of, and that I am the woman that he wanted me to be and that he worked so hard to make sure I became. This day, May 15th, no matter 2012 or 2025, will never be same. I love you so much Pop Pop and I will tell everyone who did not have the pleasure to know you, what a wonderful man you were.
I am so thankful for my family and incredibly fortunate to have the grandparents that I have been given.
Pop Pop, Please Rest In Peace & Love
