Turbeville’s work is sometimes described as brooding, and she is credited for helping bring an edge to fashion photography previously absent in commercial work. ![]() Here in NYC, being as stormy as it is on this day of spring rites, the mood Turbeville captures in her photos from the 1960s until her death in 2013 seemed fitting to explore.

This wasn’t such a big deal to me, as it turns out. However, as much as I may have obsessed, I never gave even one thought to something that later proved as much a cultural shift as anything … The holidays.So obviously Thanksgiving in Spain is a non-starter. I definitely was not deterred by these inner voices, but I can’t deny they existed. ![]() I suppose any time you do something that involves serious change, your brain sort of throws up roadblocks … subconscious anxiety that varies in legitimacy. ![]() When you move to a foreign country as a full-blown adult, as I did, there are a lot of things that run through your mind in the weeks beforehand. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Mac accidentally sends Maddie flying over the handlebars, badly injuring her, he moves in to nurse her back to health and help care for her young son.
