'All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand'

In my former life, my teens and twenties, I was an actor, which has greatly influenced my photography. While finishing my degree at NYU, I studied at the Atlantic Theater Company. It was an amazing experience with a great group of teachers and directors, including the current Artistic Director Neil Pepe. My fellow students from those days are some of my dearest and closest friends. Some have left the business, as I have, and some have branched out and embraced other aspects of the craft. Maggie Kiley, fellow Rochesterian/New Yorker, is now living in LA with her husband Matthew Puckett (un musicien extraordinaire and maybe the first musician I photographed) and their adorable daughter, Molly Moon. Not only is Maggie acting and teaching, but she is also directing. Her latest film is a short entitled 'Some Boys Don't Leave' with Jesse Eisenberg and Eloise Mumford. It has been accepted into film festivals all over the country and has been receiving awards and accolades wherever it has screened. Maggie was in town recently for the Woodstock Film Festival. While visiting NYC, I was able to book a little time with her to catch up and spend some time in the studio. Thank you, Maggie. Always great to see you.

Thanks for Reading.

Be well,
Ahron
