This is a few months old, but my sister just found this article online and reminded me that some of Cooper’s work in Puerto Vallarta was featured in Mexico in May! The slideshow and photos are all his, but the video is from a local woman in PV. If you look at the video you can see me in the lower right hand corner taking photos as Serena and Fabio walk down the aisle. This was the beach in Puerto Vallarta where we had to take a speed boat to access the site (and saw dolphins on the “commute” to work). We will be going back down there in November to shoot a same sex wedding.

The earthquake that rattled our area last night certainly got my sleeping heart a pumping, but nothing happened. If anything, we noticed a photo was askew in the morning. It is funny how your body responds to something like your apartment shaking. Cooper and I both jumped up and looked at each other in an odd way, then my first reaction was, “I can’t be wearing pajama pants during an earthquake! I need jeans on!” Oh, Allison.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
