Ricchina's Wedding Published in Les inRocks

Today's interview in Les inRocks/France. 

I met Ricchina and her mother Janice on a train, broken down and delayed on the tracks for four hours in Washington, D.C.  Ricchina has down syndrome. A long conversation lead to talk of Ricchina's dream of one day marrying. This photo essay documents her wedding themed surprise 25th birthday party. On this day in a small Italian neighborhood in South Philly, Ricchina is celebrated as a bride by family, friends and neighbors. There is no groom.

Honored to have my photo essay published in yesterday's issue of Slate/Behold by David Rosenberg

Farewell to Romania

Its been fun and thanks for following. Romania was everything we could have possibly hoped for and so much more. We dined in cafes, toured castles, winded our way down the hairpin turns of the Transfaragasan Pass and ate and drank our weight in farmer's cheese, pork, polenta and beer. Now it's time to waddle on home.

                                     

Viscri to Sighisoara

Dancing, 8 o'clock shadows, forest picnics, tumblin' dice, knitting, impossible architectural configurations........it's all happening in Romania.

Beautiful Transylvania

Making our way through this lovely and affordable country. Brasov and Rasnov to take in the towns and castles then a night in the isolated medieval Saxon village, Viscri situated in a valley of lush, rolling hills miles from the outside world. 

Sinaia, Romania

Tour of the Jewish Museum in Bucharest then a drive north.

Two days in the small town of Sinaia. Gondola to Cota for a child sized hike and lunch under an awning in a lightening storm. Ended the day exploring the digs of the Romanian monarchy at Peles Castle. Next stop, Brasov.

Romania

Rented our house for the summer, loaded up the family and headed out. First stop, two weeks in Romania.
