First Six Dates
Filed under: Here, Photography
Some time after we had met, I created this photo series as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, Anthony. I met him while a newcomer in New York City, struggling to stay afloat in the big city 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.
