Deb Roskamp

The reclusive ‘I want to be alone’ Dutch girl first came to Hollywood to promote European products to America’s young, hip and famous. Falsely labeled as the Paris Hilton of Holland, the aloof Roskamp bridled under the limelight. After a particularly embarrassing clog accident in a tulip field, she decided that she was more comfortable behind the camera, as opposed to in front of it. She brings to Traveling Boy a series of stunning photographic essays that showcase her unique and often guarded vision of the world. Deb’s photographs have appeared in Southern California Life After 50 Magazine, California Contractor, the Tidings Newspaper of the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and San Diego Senior Life.

Meet Our Guest Writer: Adam Sholder

Adam Sholder (a.k.a. The Counselor) has no discernable talents and glides through life on luck and good fortune. With a “What’s the worst that could happen?” attitude, he prefers to ask for forgiveness instead of permission. When he’s not traversing the Arctic tundra, canoeing through the jungles of Panama, or wandering the streets of Havana, he can be found in Los Angeles, where he lives with his Emmy Award-winning wife, Vanessa Lapato. Together, they wrote, produced, and directed the television pilot, “Starland P.C.” Adam is also a co-host on the popular “Cutting Room Movie Review” Podcast, and is currently adapting a movie version of the Tony Award-winning play, “Fortune’s Fool” with co-writer Benedick Bates, producer Richard Reid, and director Gary Oldman.
