Some months back Brazilian art journalist Roberta Tavares did an interview with me for the Brazilian magazine &#8220;PHOTO&#8221;, and the editor liked it so much they made it the cover story of their end-of-the-year special issue.   Roberta asked some really interesting and complex questions, and I had a great time thinking up [...]]]></description>

In Venice, the iconography of &#8220;the mask&#8221; has moved so far past the point of cliché that even to speak of masks in Venice as cliché, is a cliché in itself.  La maschera has become the ulitmate symbol of crass commercialism in a city that centuries ago built an empire on trade, and eventually declined [...]]]></description>

I have wasted so much money the past few years in change fees and canceled plane tickets it&#8217;s ridiculous.  Nearly every trip I take, I end up changing my plans last-minute and having to pay some kind of whopping fee just because my concept of time is a little bit vague.

Il Grand Ballo di Tiepolo, Palazzo Pisani Moretta, Venice

There is a great old cartoon from the New Yorker that my dad sent to me many years ago.  In the pictures, two bums are sitting on a park bench, and one of them is saying to the other, &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a lot of great ideas in my life; I just lacked follow-through.&#8221;
I know quite [...]]]></description>

Yesterday marked the end of an era for myself and my family.   Our dog Mona Lisa, whom I shared with my parents over the last ten years, had to be put down due to a rapidly metastasizing cancer in her bones and lungs.   Those of you who knew Mona in her days of jumping [...]]]></description>

When the ancient Milesian Celts arrived on the island of Eriu, known today in English as Ireland, they encountered a race of seemingly magical people known as the Tuatha de Danann.   Who exactly the de Danann were or where they came from is uncertain&#8211;speculation ranges from Greek adventurers to Atlantean aliens&#8211;but according to [...]]]></description>

In my dreams, there is a woman.  She is vaguely familiar, but mostly unknown to me.  Sometimes she resembles a woman I know, but not a woman I know well.  I find her upon opening a door into a room I didn&#8217;t know existed, or swimming in a lagoon in a far-off country.  [...]]]></description>

Last December I had the pleasure  of shooting an assignment  for National Geographic Traveler on the Big Island of Hawaii.  The story was written by novelist Elizabeth Berg, and centered around her reunion with her brother Jeffrey Hoff, who moved to Hawaii over 20 years ago and built a new life for himself there.  You [...]]]></description>
