My family and I are looking forward to calling Solitude our home mountain.”

Iason Demos is preparing to open a photography gallery and café/wine bar in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The Kentlands Photography Café will host a commercial art photography space, bookstore, and café that will serve both as a vibrant arts center and as a neighborhood gathering spot where one can enjoy great coffee, a curated wine list, and local food products.

Iason wrote: “After graduating from Dartmouth I returned to my native Greece, where I took over the family business, a photo agency. I also assisted my father as he curated major photography exhibits in Greece and all over Europe. I came to love and appreciate the art of curating, as well as publishing photobooks. Eventually in 2010 I opened my own gallery in Athens, and in 2013 I opened another one. Unfortunately, the economic crises eventually caught up with our business, and I sold everything and moved to D.C. in 2016. After working in the wine industry and the restaurant industry in Maryland and loving it, I decided to make the leap, quit my job, and dedicate myself to this new project.”

Finally, a hearty congratulations to new parents David Bruder and wife Tara, who welcomed daughter Sadie Emily on October 14 in London. Sadie weighed in at 5 pounds, 14 ounces and all are doing well. David wrote: “After a first career as a corporate lawyer in New York and then going back to Stanford to get my M.B.A. and working in corporate strategy for a now-defunct electric car startup in Los Angeles, the last couple of years have been more focused on the personal side. I got married to Tara two years ago on the Greek island of Kefalonia, a destination we had loved on vacation some years before. In the midst of the pandemic last year, when we were both working from home from Brooklyn, we suddenly realized we no longer needed to stay in one place, and so this spring began a nomadic year. We are spending about three months in each of four or five places. We moved to Austin, Texas, in May (which we loved), and are now in London, where I grew up. Our little adventure has been disrupted a tad, with the exciting arrival of Sadie, who does not like merely being carry-on luggage. Nonetheless, we’ve decided to continue the tour, with the next stop being Hawaii in January (visitors welcome) and potentially Colorado in spring, before ending closer to campus with a summer in New England. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart, as there is an enormous amount of logistics involved, but we’re having fun so far and glad we’ve picked up a hitchhiker.”

Take care and keep sending your news.
