PORTRAITS: Because I Asked

| Easter Bunny Inspection: Reporter Nicholas Mendola spent a day in the life of the Easter Bunny. Expecting to deliver only the best chocolate at Easter, the bunny made an inspection stop at Platter's Chocolates on Oliver Street, where he reviewed troops Florence Felvus, left, and Diane Russell, both chocolates trimmers. The women said it was an honor to serve under E. Bunny this time of year, though he's more stern a task master than the man in the red suite, or the little winged guy with the bow and arrows. |

| Faux Poster: My friends know I like to make fake posters, so while visiting my good friends Don and Marybeth in Florida, I blurted out the question, "Marybeth, would you dress up like a drug addicted drunken Courtney Love type rock star at the end of her career with runny makeup and let me photograph you for a poster that mocks the pretentious high priced gallery crap downtown?" (Yes, full run on sentence) Imagine my surprise when she said yes. The result was a fun evening with my two best friends, pool-side, at their Palm Beach home. Click on image for bigger view. |

| Secret Gardens: I asked this poor woman to crawl on her back in between these Hasta for this photo. Jackie L., of Lewiston, NY, is letting her secret Hosta Garden out of the bag for all to see during the “Our Secret Gardens,” 11th annual open garden week in June 2005. |
