From Elliottsburg, Pa., Nemo Niemann reports: “Hard to believe I’ve just ended my 30th year as a professional photographer — 26 of which have been shooting fashion. If all goes well, I hope to have my long incubated fine art photography book, Vanishing Ireland, published in 2007. Continue to be nominally based out of New York, though with the advent of high-speed Internet (even in the hinterlands), FedEx, fast rail service, and a decent airport, I can live almost anywhere. As a result, my wife (another big change, I got married three years ago) bought a fabulous 1859 stone house on 30 acres in central Pennsylvania. Our menageries of animals (three cats, a dog, and four horses) kindly allow us to share the home with them. My wife, a graphic designer and art director, also works from home, and we are fortunate to occasionally work on projects together.”

Victor Polce reports: “After having completed a 25-year career in the foreign exchange business on Wall Street (last position was with American Express), I opened a mortgage company called Customized Mortgage Solutions in Old Tappan, N.J., in May 2005. I have also just passed my Series 65 exam, and I am looking into opening up an investment management company, also located in Old Tappan. Finally, my daughter Jackie graduated from St. Joseph’s University this past May and is an assistant working for the publisher of Weddings in Martha Stewart’s firm in New York.”
