the humanity of the moment…

I love to photograph people. Capturing a moment that looks, or better—feels authentic to my subject delights me. I haven’t shot many portraits of people I don’t know. Last week presented a unique opportunity.

I met and chatted with a young guy at sunrise on Town Neck Beach. I felt like we had good rapport, so I asked if I could shoot some images of him and his ink. No harm in asking right?

PS My husband has come to expect that I start many sentences with…“Today I met a guy on the beach…”. Thankfully, Jeff’s not the jealous type.

This morning my coffee-fueled internet meanderings landed me a famous mugshots site. They’re quite remarkable, raw, and they all seem to just dare you to learn more about the arrests. I’m a true crime junkie.

David Bowie was arrested in Rochester, NY for marijuana possession on March 21st, 1976. He was held for three hours and released on bail. He pleaded guilty and the grand jury later decided to pass on his case. Even his mugshot is classy, of course.

With some regret, I’ve never been arrested. So, with the help of my daughter, Willa Govoni’s photography and highly intuitive stylist skills I now have my very own menopausal mugshots. Perhaps a protest arrest is in my future? #2021goals #resist #goodtrouble

I thought about my characteristics that feel like crimes sometimes. They came to mind quite quickly…judgment, regret, and procrastination.

Willa, you’ve got a good eye kid. Let’s do lunch and discuss more projects.

Thank you.
