About Me
I am a street photographer based in New York City. With my camera I search for those fleeting moments when the light, the people and the general chaos of the city collide in surprising, poignant or humorous ways. It is deeply satisfying to be able to freeze time in a fraction of a second and thereby hold on to the moment forever.
Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, my husband and I moved east in 1991 and now split our time between Connecticut and Manhattan. We have three children and two grandchildren.
I am a member of the Board of Trustees of the Aperture Foundation in New York City.
About the Blog
Early in 2009 I embarked on a self-imposed challenge to take and publish a photograph every day for a year. While I have taken periodic breaks since then, I have gone for many long stretches–of a year or more–where I unfailingly took a photograph every day. By early 2017 the project became much more of a burden than a pleasure and I now focus almost exclusively on street photography. Nevertheless, with a handful of noted exceptions, every photo was taken on the day it was posted to the blog.
