Hi everybody,
Check out my story on today's New York Times Lens. It was shot by me, my husband and son, and nurses. It is posted in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, because I know that many millions of women and their families cope with that common disease every day: lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/01/behind-18/.
As seen on Oprah's 2008 "Season's Best Gift Books" list, and named one of the best photography books of 2008 by American Photo in their Jan/Feb 2009 issue.

Although being a nice woman Alexandra seems to be particularly fond of garbage. I wish such a nice lady to find nicer views to shoot to match her irresistible beauty.
