The most impressive and anticipated holiday gathering to date this season occurred last week on the entire roof level of the W Hotel.
When Susanna Quinn calls to say she’s having an event and wants it captured it MUST be important.
Each party she throws seems to be better than [...]

Wild America – Brinkley Book Party at Roosevelt House

26Jul09

I went to a book party for Douglas Brinkley over at Roosevelt House this afternoon to celebrate the release of  “The Wilderness Warrior,”  his new biography of Theodore Roosevelt. The book focuses on the early influence of Darwin and Audubon on a young Roosevelt, his circle of naturalist friends, and his substantial contribution to conservation between the years 1901-1909. His [...]

It seemed that just about every other person I accidentally bumped into at last night’s Roosevelt Gala at the Mellon Auditorium was a Senator or a Congressman. There were more Members of Congress per square foot at the VIP reception than anywhere else except on Capitol Hill. Senator Patrick Leahy [...]

I’ve never been to a party that my friend Kimball Stroud has organized that I didn’t like. The Impact Film Festival founder, event planner, and non-profit and film fundraiser, co-hosted this invite-only advance screening and after party with Sundance and SILVERDOCS PR chief Jody Arlington.
The back room of CoCo [...]

Screening “TAKEN” in Georgetown with Innocents at Risk

29Jun09

Great time tonight at the cocktail reception in front of the Letelier Theater in Georgetown before the screening of “Taken,” one of the best action films I’ve seen in a long time. In it, Liam Neeson plays a dad bent on revenge as the result of the abduction and trafficking of his vacationing 17 year-old [...]

Feldman’s 40th and Jon Bon Jovi

12Oct08

“Every woman wants Mike Feldman and every man wants to be Mike Feldman.” So went the monologue that accompanied a very funny video ribbing of birthday boy Mike Feldman, former right hand man to Vice President Al Gore and founding member of Glover Park Group.
Current and former Democratic A-listers rubbed shoulders with, bankers, analysts and [...]

New Arrival for First Family

10Oct08

There are very few people that throw parties like Rima Al-Sabah. This Kuwaiti Sheika, wife of Ambassador Salem Al-Sabah, always delivers a good time. Yesterday’s baby shower thrown for Michelle Fenty, wife of Washington, DC mayor Adrian Fenty, was a who’s who of the ladies who lunch set. Every so often I don’t really need [...]

The opportunity to shoot for the Obama campaign (9-4-08) came out of nowhere. Thanks ANNE!! After photographing DEM VP candidate Joe Biden’s “meet and greet “with what seemed like 100 people (they each paid $12,000+) he was kind enough to take a shot with me. Definitely presidential material!!!
