As summer comes to a close, I think I owe this crazily busy summer a mini-photographic journey blog. Some important people are missing, but I didn’t want to publish their photos without their consent. My summer was filled with many international people, seeing my amazing family and throwing a surprise birthday party, old family friends gracious enough to be my host family, a gala, Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church, a Ukrainian wedding, Brooklyn beaches, sunshine, blazers, a reunion with a beloved cricketer, meeting a fascinating and bright new friend, Madeline Albright, Baltimore rain, yellow legal pads…But to the people who blessed me and made my summer special, I send you my love and thank you. Thank you New York. Thank you D.C. I am so blessed.-GY
Started the summer off wearing Pipo Pere (San Juan-New York).
Jettin’ off to the capital.

Marietta House magic. Spent a Friday and Saturday wandering its gorgeous clearing.
