Favorite Experience:
You would think that being involved in theater and modeling, my favorite experience would be with a mysterious Russian ballerina or French model, but it's nothing that exotic! When I was about 20 years old, I was in a photography club that met in various places around NYC to learn new photography tricks. The instructor was an absolutely beautiful 40-something year old woman named Carla that I immediate developed a crush on. One Sunday, it was raining lightly in the city and our club was scheduled to meet in Central Park. I was pretty sure it would get cancelled because of rain, but grabbed my camera and headed uptown anyway to see if anyone would show up at our meeting place - the famous Central Park Boat House. When I got there, Carla was the only one there and congratulated me on braving the weather. Just then, it began to literally pour down rain, so we found an open door to the deserted boat house to seek shelter from the storm. I had brought a bag of donuts with me, and she had her usual thermos of coffee, so we sat down on a tarp for a little snack and a chat. My heart was pounding being so close to her and alone with her. She seemed to sense it and, much to my surprise, ran her fingers through my wet hair (it was long then) and leaned over and kissed me. That was as good of a non-verbal cue as my 20 year old body needed and before long we were entangled in a boat tarp making passionate love while the rain pounded on the tin roof. Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson!
