First Six Dates

Filed under: Here,

Some time after we had met, I created this photo series as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, Anthony. I had met him while a newcomer in New York City, struggling to stay afloat and on the whole feeling rather overwhelmed and lonely. I was, however, convinced I’d soon find the city I’d long dreamed of in my beloved Cole Porter songs, and continued on.

Meeting him was the best thing to happen to me—from the first night we met he swept me into his wonderful city life that could only belong to a native. The part of me that has become a true New Yorker can be attributed to his affectionate efforts.

Spirituality in the Subway

One of the benefits of working in the religious press is that I have learned, over time and experience, how to properly talk about religion. We’ve all been advised, of course, to “never discuss religion and politics in polite company,” and most of the time that serves us well in avoiding a wicked argument or boring discourse. But religion, like most complicated subjects, can be discussed in an objective, intellectual manner that makes for fascinating and enlightening conversations, as long as its speakers know enough about it to make it worth attempting, that is.
