Ending MS would be pretty freaking awesome!

Personal


I’m running this Sunday morning. Far. 13.1 miles – Philadelphia’s half marathon. And I’m doing it to raise money for the research, prevention, treatment, and cure of Multiple Sclerosis.

Please help me in stopping MS. It means so much. I appreciate all of the support I’ve already received and have raised about $2000 in the last few months. Every little bit helps. $5 even (yes, one less Starbucks coffee, I know).

This disease has no known cure and affects about 2 million people worldwide. This horrible disease that can cause blindness, paralysis, and can interfere with just about any other function.

Thank you so, so much.

With love,
Lindsay

Jack Attack meetup

If you have a Jack, or really any kind of dog, you should definitely show up next time. The people are so friendly and welcoming and so are the pooches (especially Bacon!).Here are so ...

the feminist photographer
In my life before portrait and wedding photography, I was in graduate school for sociology.In undergrad, I didn't know what opportunities there were for sociology majors. I just loved the subject matter and had some incredible professors that I never put much thought into what would happen after graduation. I learned that the main route for sociology majors who are really into sociology is graduate school so you can make more sociologists. This was prefect as I loved being in the classroom and I was pretty good at being a student (graduated magna cum laude and a member of Phi Beta Kappa).My shtick was family and gender roles and social psy ...

Loss
I don't like being negative, especially here. I don't get angry very often or very easily but there are a few things that are very near and dear to me that, if threatened, will trigger my fury. My pictures are one of them.I am staying with family in Maryland while looking for a new place to live in Pennsylvania. I was in Pennsylvania yesterday when the movers delivered my things.I came back tonight to discover that many boxes have been smashed and badly water damaged. One such box was labeled "Fragile! Frames!". In it were lots of my most prized pictures. The soggy box practically crumbled in my hands. The cardboard just peeled off. ...
