Lorna Carapuli,
aka May
Stories, served straight-up. With a twist.
Lorna Carapuli (aka Lorna May) is a writer who dabbles in photography.
She specializes in copywriting, film reviews, social satire, feature pieces, street photography and photo essays - while juggling a borderline obsession with her cat, Goodman, and all things jazz.
She writes because talking to people is exhausting.
She shoots street photography because the circus is out there - and the entry’s free.
She hates olives, small talk, and people who refer to themselves in the third person.
She loves cinema, observing the human comedy, exploring abandoned places, and sharp wit.
