A Fond Farewell
Six months ago, I didn't know Ajda, food stylist extraordinaire and a funny, genuine, tells-it-like-it-is kinda gal, who is also a total sweetheart. She's off to pastures new, and I can't wait to see what she does next. Ajda is a wonderful example of

Link Love
The Commute – great photo series that really captures the hustle, bustle, and blur of commuting. Aideen has a brilliant round-up of the Irish degree shows this year. NPR have compiled a pretty epic – and inspiring – list: The 300 Best Commencement Speeches Ever. Alex makes me really want to go to

Still the One
I loved working on this feature for volume three of Bash, in which I got to meet, photograph and interview couples that are still together after thirty, forty and fifty years. They had so much great advice, and so much love and respect for each other, I left each session
