How I Met Your Mother, originally uploaded by dominicmercier.

Sorry for the long gap in posting. Lots going on. Back soon with more.

I was shocked and terribly saddened to hear this morning that Star C. Foster, who posed for the Philadelphia Portrait Project a few months ago, passed away suddenly Sunday. We only met very briefly, but Star struck me as a kind, generous, and wonderful person. She made me laugh many times during our 10-minute, lunch break photo session.

Star was an editor and writer at Phillyist, where she helped spread the word about the project, and her own blog Sarcasmo’s Corner.

Her boyfriend, Mike, and her family are in our thoughts.

I recently submitted 18th and Market to JPG Magazine for their issue 8, under the theme of intimate (which is not dirty, thank you). If you like me, click here and give it a yeah vote and help me get it published. I’ll be your best friend if you do!
