One of my dearest friends came all the way from Boston to visit me over my birthday weekend (Month? Usually it’s a 30-day celebration!), which gave me the opportunity to play tourist in my city. I took D to the Mattress Factory, an installation museum in the North Side. We mostly talked (and boy, can we talk a lot) and then allowed ourselves quiet when taking photos. It reminded me of my grad school days when I should have written stories, but instead, went out on photo shoots with Danny. I hold him responsible for giving me the camera bug (for which, Daniel, I am ever grateful).

Comment by Lisa July 19, 2012 @ 7:52 PMI love the balloonroom pic. However, I like the balloon detail better!
Comment by Allegheny Eats July 18, 2012 @ 9:17 AMThe last photo is like something out of “THX 1138.” And your self-portrait is beautiful.

Comment by Lisa July 18, 2012 @ 9:50 AMIt is lovely having amazing mentors and muses. I am so glad Danny sparked such a love of photography in your life. What an amazing gift he gave to you that you now share with all of us. It is funny the paths and people that appear in your life, seemingly all by accident, that change the course of everything.
Comment by motherblue212 July 18, 2012 @ 7:59 AMi have a few people to thank for inspiring me to do photography (ms. rullo!) – jeff, too, is a huge support. what other man will stop cars on lost highways, or hold me steady as i hang over windows to get that one shot? i’m lucky!
