Mary Noble Ours photographs Gidget

Mary Noble Ours is a great photographer! She's also a neighbor who's become a friend. When we first moved here three years ago, I assumed that condo living would not be conducive to neighborliness and making new friends. I was wrong. Mary Noble is wonderful and so are many other loft dwellers on our block.

She and I had fun taking these action shots of Gidget and me on Q Street and in the alley. I like the way Mary Noble sets many of her portraits in natural surroundings, which makes a beautiful and unobtrusive frame.
