I come from a family of Writers. My parents are both published authors, my sister is a playwright and my brother writes comics. I used to write really bad poetry as a pre-teen and now I pen this blog and am working on my first screenplay. My Uncle Victor (also a writer) will never let me forget that at the tender age of eight I was deep into the writing of a novella entitled “I AM COOL AND YOU ARE STUPID”. Probably an artistic retaliation to childhood teasing but funny nontheless. The above are environmental portraits of my Livingroom/Workspace taken by my husband. My desk is photographed in it’s natural state with note cards strewn about, a half-empty glass of tea and discarded piece of jewelry ( the Ivory Buddha is one of my favorite charms as it belonged to Mark’s deceased grandmother). I love environmental portraits because they are a bit like peeking into someone’s medicine cabinet.
