Photo of the Day: Lighthouse
I can’t take any credit for this. Okay, I can take credit for the framing. This was during my time on Block Island. It was a freezing cold winter sunset. I was driving around, soaking up all the different sights. … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: A bubblah
In Rhode Island, we call this a “bubbler.” In the Rhode Island accent, it is called a “bubblah.” I believe Wisconsin also calls it a “bubbler”. Or Minnesota? When I was in one of those states, I heard someone say … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Summer Fest mayhem
I’ve mentioned in passing the crazy summer where Pat McCurdy hired me, Ann Marie, Phil and Kenny to be his “back-up singers and dancers” (lol) at his shows on the main stage at Milwaukee Summer Fest. I have never really … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Above the fray
This is one of my faves of all the photos I’ve taken. This is a dance studio a couple blocks south of Port Authority on 8th Avenue. A place that gets (or used to get) crazy foot traffic. Total human … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: Green world
It’s hard to believe I didn’t Photoshop this within an inch of its life. My friends Sheila and Mike had a house out on a lake in New Jersey, and I spent a lot of time out there (they no … Continue reading

Photo of the Day: Hvar at first light
The island of Hvar is a magical place, so richly textured with different cultures and empires that they’re basically like striations of rock. There are the Venetians and all they left behind. Napoleon left his traces too. My cousin Rachel … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: the lights of Broadway
Just looking at this makes me ache with longing. The world seems so far away.
Photo of the Day: Meghan Murphy
This is my friend Meghan Murphy, an absolutely incredible singer and actress. I took this during one of my visits to Chicago, in the dead of winter. She had a gig with her band, Everybody Says Yes, and we all … Continue reading
Photo of the Day: seemingly the edge of the world
On one of my trips to Chicago after I left, I went down to the shores of Lake Michigan. It was March, and freezing cold. The little marina was completely frozen over, and there were chunks of ice heaving up … Continue reading
