Pictured here is my friend Sita who recently got married to her boyfriend Andy in Italy. They had a reception, for those who couldn’t make it to the Mediterranean, at her mother’s restaurant Boulette’s Larder in the Ferry Building. She asked me to set up a photo booth there to photograph everyone having a good time. (Continued)
