Still in awe of @jvn and his ability to make you feel welcome and comfortable in such chaotic moments. This was taken just seconds before this room filled wall to wall with people pouring champagne and toasting to celebrate the end of JVN’s last performance of the weekend. He insisted everyone including the multiple production crews to have a glass and join the celebration. Thank you Jonathan for being you and an inspiration to millions of others!

I finally had the pleasure of working with Tig Notaro on a couple backstage portraits during Bentzen Ball this past weekend. She is a comedic force on stage and an incredibly talented creative genius. Thanks again, Tig! Always looking forward to working with you again!
