my book jacket photo

For my book jacket photo, I'd like to think I just rolled out of bed and snapped a Polaroid of myself in the bathroom mirror, but it involved a bit more preparation than that. So, I'd like to thank the following people, without whom my photo would not be possible: Margaret (the hairstylist from Super Cuts), Emma (the cosmetician from Joseph Christopher Salon & Spa), and last but not least, Raymond Genao, the photographer - who are all located in Long Beach (that's on Long Island) in New York.
