ABOUT ME

After leaving my job in NYC last June - I've been traveling and farming. I've been farming on goat and vegetable farms in Grasse and Les Cevennes areas of France and also an olive farm in Spain. I'm soaking everything up and trying to practice as much French as possible, wherever I happen to be! I'm currently travelling in Israel and surrouding areas and up next I'll be working at some bed and breakfasts in Turkey and Greece. I love doing documentary photography so am shooting a lot, cooking and eating lots of cheese. And Coney Island is my love along with photographing with my Rolleiflex!

PHILOSOPHY

learn, learn, learn and lots of laughing!

"Before I leave, though, he shows me a painting he keeps in his office. It’s of a little boy leaping from one cliff to another across a chasm. The boy’s arms are stretched out. His head juts forward. He isn’t even looking at the edge. He’s looking beyond the edge,” Reiling says. “He’s 100 percent committed to that jump. That’s what you’ve got to do when you’re going after something.”
