Some may think words are just words, but the wise know that they are more than just that. Every day, you can land across words that might lift you from a bad […]

Catherine Haggarty
I first met Catherine a few months ago when I volunteered for the “SeeCleanJC” effort. We bonded while picking up trash and cigarette butts (gross) on a beautiful Sunday morning. She is a super cool, down-to-earth chick that also happens to be an artist, art teacher and athlete. Her story intrigued me and it was […]

A little over a year ago, at a local block party, I heard an angelic voice, the voice of an opera singer. It was Giselle. When I first laid eyes on her it was literally love at first sight. She is one of the prettiest and most talented people I have ever seen. At first […]

Andy-Mac
Awhile back I started following Andy-Mac, a young local photographer on Instagram. Every time Andy posted a portrait of his subjects, I would stop and stare for a few minutes; wondering about the person, their story, where they come from and what they were feeling or thinking when the picture was taken. I’ve worked with […]
