About Me
'm a freelance writer and photographer who has published in New York Press, The New York Sun, New York Magazine, New York Blade, Gay City News, Spread Magazine, The Villager, Columbia Review, the Adobe Anthology, and other publications in print and online. I've published pieces on Sufjan Stevens, Todd Haynes, Genesis P-Orridge, Buck Angel, Crispin Glover, writer Daniel Mendelsohn, and other artists, musicians, and performers. I also write restaurant reviews, humorous essays, and anything else I can get into print. I'm waiting for my big moment, but meanwhile I'm working on a memoir which will chronicle the wild and crazy times of Geraldine "Gerry" Visco, in particular her arrival into the decadent inferno of New York City during the 1970s and 1980s.In terms of credentials, I have an MS from Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism and an MFA from Columbia's School of the Arts, and a BA from Columbia's School of General Studies. I have an AAS from Fashion Institute of Technology. I attended the French Culinary Institute and am a certified yoga teacher in training from the Iyengar Institute in NYC. I've worked as an editor, actor, secretary, model, teacher, and currently work as an administrator at an institution of higher learning.I'm available to take photographs and/or write about your event, whether it be a party, conference, meeting, performance, class, wedding, or funeral (hopefully not the latter, though!). My specialty is close-up, casual photographs reflecting the feeling of the moment including everyone attending the event -- man, woman, child, dog, cat, and whoever or whatever else is present. As you can tell from my subject matter, I enjoy events ranging from the traditional to the non-conventional.
