Campfire
Kevin has been one of my dearest friends since we met in high school in Atlanta. He’s a true renaissance man who throws elaborate, bacchanalian parties when he’s not doing things with computers that I can’t even comprehend. He invited me up to New York City in June to photograph and enjoy his latest extravaganza, [...]
A Very Good Morning
Anyone who really knows me knows I’m not a morning person. If I had my way, I’d stay up until 4am and sleep until noon every day. Trouble is, lots of things happen in DC in the morning. I have a problematic commute that involves either getting to the metro station before 7 a.m., after [...]
Frickin’ Laser Beams!
(Click on the picture. It’s a link to the Vimeo page where you can watch my very special and most excellent video. If anyone can figure out how to embed the video, email me. It’s not workin’ for me.) I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging only to return with a vengeance. That’s [...]
Lovely, Dark and Deep
My grandfather’s memorial service was held yesterday in the midst of a snowstorm that rendered the roads treacherous, yet people came from far and wide to pay their respects. When I got home, I decided to go for a walk and be alone in the snow for a while. I was reminded of one [...]

In my earliest memories, I recall a man with a gigantic video camera on his shoulder. My grandfather, Perry Golden, was the self-designated cameraman for the decades-long saga that was the Golden Family Experience. He filmed everything- every mundane hour of every family gathering. The cameras got smaller and better, but he eventually stopped shooting. [...]
New York State of Mind
After the New Year, I had a few more days to kill in the city. I took my G10 everywhere and lazily shot the mood. It was cold and dark and wet and I lost my hat and gloves in the mix. This is a self-portrait of me on the mini-bus to Flushing, Queens. My [...]
A Very Happy New Year
I know I promised to update at least every week, my darlings. My bad. I got caught up in the holidays and other frivolous pursuits. Back to business. I went to New York City once again for New Year’s Eve. I got dolled up and had a lovely time with my friends at a handful [...]
A Very Golden Thanksgiving
I took a break from regular updates last week as the relations converged on the Golden household. The Gilmores came from Atlanta and LA to visit the Goldens who are all in DC. It was a perfect storm of ridiculousness that I managed to take in stride with a cocktail in one hand and a [...]
Santa Barbara
I went to Santa Barbara for the weekend for a family trip and this is what it looked like to me:
