Sarah and I met at SFO on the way to Europe. In 2006. And we haven’t seen one another since. Small world coincidences worked their magic, and she asked me to take some photos of her this weekend, which I was more than happy to do! The shoot basically amounted to our first (and only, I suppose) in-person catch-up session. The weather was typically summery for San Francisco….blustery, 60′s, and foggy. But we still had lots fun. And who knows, we might hang out again before another 4 years passes.

Hooray! I got my first image published this spring. A UK-based digital photography magazine called Digital Camera Essentials ran it in a recent feature of reader images. Pretty exciting. For all the looking I did in bookstores on both coasts, I never found a paper copy. Of course, I receive two of DCE’s sister magazines in the mail each month, but have never subscribed to DCE. iPad to the rescue! Now DCE has an app…that lets you download back issues…so I downloaded it at 2:30am PDT today. The actual image can be found in the opening slideshow of my main site, Dana’s Eye. Now all I have to do is prove that it wasn’t a mountain of luck by making it happen again!

Last weekend I met Dr. Vanessa Perez. Vanessa is a NYC-based professor of 19th and early 20th Caribbean Literature. The moment she said that my mind started racing to see whether I could come up with some author that might fit into that category. Not even close, so I kept my mouth shut and kept shooting. Vanessa wanted some headshots to gear up for (and maybe include in) her upcoming book: Hispanic Caribbean Literature of Migration: Narratives of Displacement. It turned out to be a glorious day in the park, so I shot way more than a few images. Vanessa was a fantastic subject and was even thoughtful enough to bring bottles of water for the shoot, which would have been a really nice touch for the photographer to have taken care of. Hmm. I can’t say that I learned much about Caribbean Lit, though. Maybe I’ll have to pick up a copy of the book when it debuts later this year. Congratulations, Vanessa. And of course a special shout out to Serene, my very capable assistant, for helping me with lighting, gear, and entertaining the talent.

Fantastic, particularly love the trees and the theater. Will have to get more scoop on those!
