Shot my first gay wedding!

And hope it will be first in the line of many...

I don't usually post too much about weddings on this blog, but plan to do more soon because I just keep shooting these amazing and unique celebrations. Just this month I shot Mat and Redmond's commitment ceremony, a Muslim Indian wedding and a wedding of the son of a billionaire on their massive estate (with original Henri Cartier-Bresson prints hanging throughout the manor, of course). This is one of the reasons why I love living in New York-- there are so many different cultures to celebrate right in our very communities.

I was so lucky to be a part of this special event in the lives of Mat, Redmond and their families and thought it was an amazing way to show my support on NYC Pride day. A video of the days happenings is soon to follow. Their commitment to each other and determination to make their union official despite state recognition or societal standards was truly inspiring. Congrats fellas!

There was a fire on my roof today

Firemen coming up the stairs sounded like an invasion of sorts. Think that scared me more than the actual fire. They were giants and there were so many.

Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve

About 3 hours south of Cancun and another 2 hours east by an incredibly bumpy dirt/rock road exists the Sian Ka'an biosphere reserve. We passed through this natural sanctuary on the way to Punta Allen, the largest (at pop 500) village in the reserve. Jeremy and I were lucky enough to hitch back out of the village with some friendly and insane Americans, Phil and Diana. We kind of feared for our lives as Phil drove like a bat out of hell through the twisting jungle, skimming over potholes full of water like a kid jumps rocks on a river, but it was a thrilling time.

I am so thankful that Phil and Diana made us stop (despite the rain) to get out and look at this beach, which was littered with trash from passing cruise ships but also full of sea life that you just aren't gonna find on beaches in Cancun.
