Poem of Love

It is not a word, nor a single action. In truth, it can never be wrong. Like the sunrise, perfect in every possible way. It is many things and yet it must exist in the small space of the heart. Once found it can bloom endlessly, with no cease. It can choke one's throat, bring one to tears... But it never hides in shadows or in darkness. It never feeds itself on deception. It grows with trust, honesty and compassion. Nothing less, always more.

Want A New York Pizza Made In DC?

Do you search high and low for a slice of NY Pizza every time you visit the Big Apple?  If you're like me, my mouth just salivates every time I ride through the Holland Tunnel into Manhattan. It's doing it right now.

I know you don't "got it like that" to take a day trip to New York City for a slice of pizza or a calzone. So, instead, just drive on down to New York Pizza located at 1401 Pennsylvania Ave., S.E. in Capitol Hill right now and order you a slice.  Your saliva glands will thank you.  Or simply take the Blue and Orange Line to Potomac Avenue Metro Train Station and walk across the street to some N.Y. eating.  Tell Sonny and the friendly staff M.J. says hi.

While you're there, check out my photographs displayed on the walls in the lobby area.  They're pictures of a couple of my best clients.  You can be one too.

If you are getting married or realize now is the time for family portraits, simply pick up a flyer located next to the cashier and give me a call today. Or, if you know someone getting married soon or know of a family desiring family portraits, pick up one or two of my flyers and spread the love the next time you see them.

Take care,

M.J.

P.S. Is your mouth still dripping like a faucet now? Then dry it up with a slice of Pizza from New York Pizza today.

Remember Pac Man?

This use to be the game way back in the days.  Now I'm telling my age.

My Vacation in Corolla, N.C.

We needed a break.  My wife and I and some friends vacationed in Corolla.  During our stay we ventured out to the Outer Banks and Nags Head, did a little bit of wine tasting.  The weather was great, it was simply marvelous! I think some of my gray hairs turned back to its original color.

My Experience with D.J. and the "Becker"

Free to Succeed Tour

It was a fantabulous event packed with photographers like myself who are struggling and/or doing quite well in this industry. I was amazed at the information and the wonderful resources presented to help my business grow even more. One thing that stood out for me, well three things that stood out are, don't be afraid of me, outsource and network, network and network with fellow photographers in the area.

So, to my fellow photographers, I'll be keeping in touch with ya.

Meet Honey

Short For "Honey Child"

We've adopted this adorable and playful Yorkshire Terrier from a family who could no longer care for her. Oh my goodness, Honey is a handful and loves to play every second of the day. She has a big head and a little body and sometimes respond to the name "Big Head". Despite it all, she's daddy's little girl.

A New Thai Restaurant We Found

A-roi (Delicious)

My wife and I celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary in Williamsburg, VA., and during our stay we found this elegant Thai Restaurant. It has become our "thing" to look for a Thai restaurant wherever we go, as a result we happened to stumble upon this one, Emerald Thai. The decor was fantabulous and the food was delish. Check it out next time you're in Colonial Williamsburg.

Who Is Marcelle Love?

One Of My Triplets, That's Who He Is

Marcelle Love's Debut Trunk Show

This fashionable haberdasher debuted his high end neckware, shawls and menswear collection at the Numark Gallery, located in N.W., the heart of downtown D.C. His colorful, seven fold stitchless neck ties was the talk of the town. The Trunk Show was simply marvelous, you had to be in the know to attend.

April's DC & B-More's P.U.G. Meeting

Robert T. Williams Graced the Place

Robert is an amazing and comical individual, he sort of remind me of the photography version of what Spike Lee is to film-making.

I got to give it to him, he knows his stuff as a photographer or should I say "lifestyle photojournalist". During the P.U.G. meeting, he enlightened us with some words of wisdom. I appreciate how he encouraged us to "do not accept 'no' for an answer" and to "sell ourselves first and not our images."

Keep up the fine work Robert and Do The Right Thing.
