Historic New Castle, Delaware : In 1680 the hamlet of New Castle was presented to William Penn by the Duke of York as a royal gift.  The town was Penn's first landing place -- prior to Philadelphia -- when he first set foot on American soil in 1682.  New Castle was originally settled by the Dutch in 1651, who had befriended the local Indians and built their village within the confines of Fort Kasmir.

Today, Old New Castle appears much like it did in the late 1700's and many, many buildings that were built during that period stand today.  Town residents have managed to keep New Castle from becoming a tourist trap, however summer weekends play host to hundreds of visitors.  New Castle has served as the backdrop for many motion pictures and documentaries, including "Dead Poet's Society."

Know Your Italian Saints : The celebration of a patron saint has very special meaning. Just look toward our Irish brothers and sisters on St. Patrick's Day for proof.  But for Italians, honoring their hometown Saint isn't about green wine -- it remains a meaningful and holy tradition.

Each year in Wilmington, DE, the state's residents, regardless of belief or culture, become Italian for a shirt time during the Feast of St. Anthony of Padua.  It's a week long celebration that culminates in a procession through the streets of Wilmington --  a procession which passes through the city's Little Italy section, as well as Puerto Rican, Mexican and African-American neighborhoods.

Enjoy "La Festa Italiana" (American style)

Mom's High Again! : No, Mom isn't stoned. That's what Kim G's children have named her EXTREME 4x4, a GMC crew cab pick-up, that is built for the ultimate 4x4 experience. Kim was gracious enough to share her vehicle (and herself) for a photo session in New Castle County, DE.

Since this was a Craigslist invitation, Kim arrived with her manager and bodyguard, her 16 year old son Ryan. Great kid. Those of you who'd like to see more sessions with Kim simply respond with an aye!

From September through May, you'll find her on the University of Delaware campus studying for her degree in Fashion Merchandising. And if you're really fortunate, you may find her in front of your lens.
