I play it cool and dig all jive,
That's the reason I stay alive.
My motto as I live and learn,
Is dig and be dug in return.
- Langston Hughes
I recently moved to Los Angeles after living in NYC for 17 years, 11 of which were in Park Slope, Brooklyn - a place that will always seem like home to me.
I have a BA in English Literature from NYU and an MBA from Fordham, have worked at IFC, Bravo, and NBC.
I gave all that up to become a photographer a few years ago. I'm having a great time at it!

Tony Lupo says:
"Thank you Hillary and Fauxtobooth for solving my social network profile picture problems... I've been dealing with mediocre pictures of myself for so long, and having a ridiculous and awesome Fauxtobooth picture from this past BarCamp was just the thing I needed.
Awesome!"21st March, 2008

"Hilary came in and took BarCampNYC3 from awesome to super-awesome singlehandedly. The Fauxtobooth (along with Hilary's encouragement, smile, and downright amazing pictures) was incredible. Thanks HIlary!!!"

Not to mention that she takes boffo pictures, and that she seems an all-around good sort."15th March, 2008

"Hilary is possibly the nicest, deeply in love, Kinder egg obsesive that I know, and she may yet turn out to be Queen of the postcards.
Oh and she is a pretty spiffy photographer as well"29th December, 2006

"Hilabean's photos grab me in a special way. Wait, that sounded dirty..........
Her vision of the beautiful nuances within everyday life drew me in immediately. These photographs take me places that I miss, and show me people in ways I have never seen. Such a great sense of exuberance in her images. I always look forward to new ones."1st August, 2006
