I came across this beautiful lady near Central Park West. She was just leaving the house for the day in her lovely hat and coat when I asked if I could take her photo. If you are looking for fantastic hats like the one above, check out Ellen Christine Millinery ,you won’t be dissapointed.

I spotted this beautiful lady at the cafe in Bloomingdales and had to ask her for a photo. I love photographing strong,confident older women because they are great examples for all of us to live fuller,richer lives.

Thanks to Dita Von Teese and her wonderful friends I was able to meet and photograph one of the most spectacular women in Paris. Mme Dominique Fallecker works at Didier Ludot a wonderful vintage shop where I met and interviewed her for a piece airing on Canal + tomorrow. Her spirit shines just as bright as her fantastic style. More from Paris coming soon…

I have been running around Paris, for the last few days, looking for great subjects for my book. Yesterday I met up with Nicole,71, the mother behind the fantastic jewelry line Hanna Bernhard. If you haven’t seen her site, you have to check it out http://french-bakelite.com/ . Nicole is wearing one of her daughter’s fantastic pins in the photo above. I’m off to shoot a little piece with Canal+, but expect some more great photos of Nicole at a later date.
