A camera captures moments, but sometimes it captures more than you bargained for. When Giovanny Gonzalez strutted into my photography studio in his wing-tip boots and form-fitting t-shirt, I had no idea this headshot session would launch an eight-year romance that mirrored the tumultuous relationship between Johnny Cash and June Carter.

The chemistry was immediate and electric. After breaking my own professional rules by agreeing to review his photographs at his place, I found myself mesmerized as Giovanny picked up his guitar and serenaded me with Damien Rice's "The Blower's Daughter, from the movie Closer, where Julia Roberts played a photographer and Jude Law was her subject turned love interest." From that moment, we became inseparable – a creative force feeding off each other's talents and energy. We took Boston by storm, becoming fixtures at upscale restaurants like Stella and The Beehive, training together, and critiquing cuisine like unpaid food critics with insatiable appetites for culture and creativity.

When Giovanny confessed he'd given up on his musical dreams, I transformed into his biggest supporter. I became the ringmaster behind the Giovanny Gonzalez Band's branding, handled publicity, arranged photography shoots, and documented every performance. We achieved incredible things together – he sang the national anthem at Fenway Park, performed with the Dropkick Murphys, and accompanied me as I photographed Hollywood's biggest names. But like Jennifer Aniston's character in "Rockstar," I watched as the music industry's temptations began pulling him away. Despite many wonderful years together, I learned firsthand why Johnny Cash's "Walk the Line" resonates with so many – not everyone can maintain that balance when fame, groupies, and late nights beckon. Sometimes love isn't enough, and sometimes the final notes must fade.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:29.199
Chapter three Ties with Guitars in Walking the Line Umbu Bobhaswaha Tatsavachor Viranium Bargodivas Yadimihi Diyo Yonat Prachodayat.

00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:36.079
In Sanskrit there isn't a specific mantra directly related to walking the line like Johnny Cash.

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:42.799
However, you can chant mantras that promote focus, determination, and a balanced approach to life.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:52.479
One such mantra is the Gayatri Mantra, short form, a powerful chant that helps cultivate qualities that contribute to walking the line in life.

00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:54.799
Opening Act.

00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:06.079
It was a typical day at my studio and the air filled with anticipation as I set up my equipment, took the camera battery off the charger, and meticulously arranged my lights.

00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:15.040
It would be a busy day of shoots, and I needed to stay focused and be mindful of the time as I prepared to give all of my clients my energy and my best.

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:24.959
My first photo shoot of the day was with a business solutions sales rep for Hewlett Packard, who decided to throw his hat in the ring and give acting a shot.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.959
Meet Giovanni Gonzalez, an incredibly fit Spanish man standing 5'11.

00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:41.920
As I swung open the front door of my studio, Giovanni Gonzalez made a captivating, charming, and clanging entrance, and his black wing tip boots echoed with each step.

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:52.159
He proudly entered in snug fitting jeans, a sleek black belt, and form-fitting gray t-shirt, which served as a canvas to showcase his ripped physique.

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:59.040
Thank you for agreeing to photograph me, Giovanni said with a grin, flashing a megawatt smile that lit up the room.

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:02.239
I thought you only photographed babies and celebrities.

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.760
This Hispanic heartthrob was in ridiculous shape.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.960
It was as if each individual muscle group had its own personal trainer.

00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:19.840
Without warning, Giovanni's confidence takes a comical detour as he arms himself with humor so strong you think you're watching a live stand-up.

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:28.560
I quickly add my own one-liners to buffer the awkwardness of our first encounter and remind him not to take this photo shoot so seriously.

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.800
Who's to say you're not the next celebrity?

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.439
I smiled, acknowledging his sense of fun.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:35.840
Giovanni's charm was undeniable.

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.960
He continued, by the way, could you give me a hand with all these clothes I brought for the shoot?

00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:48.639
Of course, I replied, put your outfits down here as I point to my desk and I'll go through it as I shoot.

00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.719
I had never seen so many tight little t-shirts in one sitting.

00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.319
Giovanni was striking.

00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.479
He had a unique face, strong features, and beautiful dark skin.

00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.360
He looked similar to the actor Joaquin Phoenix.

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.280
Not only is Joaquin quite handsome, but he also played Johnny Cash in the movie Walk the Line.

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:14.560
I had met Joaquin personally when I photographed him years prior at an event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston.

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:25.520
I had no idea as I photographed Giovanni that we would end up in a love affair that mirrored the tumultuous and painful relationship between June Carter and Johnny Cash.

00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:31.360
Giovanni had a look, he had an edge, and he had something I couldn't quite figure out.

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.360
He was clearly into the shoot and was impressed with my studio.

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:42.080
He was wide-eyed with admiration as he gazed the covers that decorated the wall behind my frame station.

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.360
His eyes danced around my studio, drinking in the detail of the iconic personalities I captured on previous shoots.

00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:58.400
I observed quietly as the session began, not saying much while absorbing the intricacies of this new character and person of interest.

00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:07.039
My camera seemed drawn to Giovanni's electrifying presence as I captured moments of vulnerability and strength with each shot.

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.319
It was as if time slowed down with each frame.

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.479
Sometimes the camera loves you.

00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:18.800
I knew Giovanni knew he was good looking, and pretty boys usually brought trouble because they could get away with it.

00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.600
He watched as I captured his soul, and who knew later that I would also, in time, capture his heart.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:27.120
Do you have a boyfriend?

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:28.319
Are you dating anyone?

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:29.680
Giovanni asked.

00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:35.199
I answered and explained, I'm getting divorced, and I have a three-year-old little girl, Morgan.

00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.959
My answer surprised him.

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.759
I wouldn't date anyone who had a kid, he said.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:47.360
His words felt like a spotlight on my deepest insecurity, as if he had captured my fear through my camera lens.

00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:58.000
It was like he had focused his words on my worry that no one would want me because I had a baby on my hip that lovingly replaced my camera bag when I wasn't shooting.

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.759
I responded quickly because I was pissed about his remark.

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:07.360
I laughed at the ridiculousness of his comment and said, Do you mind if I ask you your age?

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:08.959
No, I'm 38.

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:18.480
Well, chances are getting higher for you that you will date someone who is divorced, unlike me, unless you want to date someone much younger, which is an option.

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.879
Giovanni didn't like that answer.

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.519
Do you want to take any portraits of me without my shirt on?

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:26.160
He asked.

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:32.480
No, these headshots are for acting, I said, hiding my internal eye roll.

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:34.720
I was surprised by his request.

00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.279
It was something I hadn't been asked before.

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.399
My initial take on Giovanni was that he was different than anyone I had ever met.

00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.000
He piqued my interest.

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.439
After the shoot, Giovanni asked, Can I take you to lunch?

00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.759
I laughed and said, That's a new one.

00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.160
No one ever asked me that, I added.

00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.000
I like to keep it profesh.

00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.040
I'm all business.

00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.120
Plus, I have other appointments today, so even if I could, I can't.

00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.639
He understood, thanked me, hugged me, and strutted off.

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.360
A few days later, Giovanni emailed me.

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:12.560
Instead of coming back to the studio to view the images, can you meet me in the city at my place and bring your laptop?

00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.439
I don't know why I agreed, but I did.

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.519
This was the only time I've gone against my studio policies.

00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.600
First track.

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:26.560
Giovanni loved all of the images and we instantly liked each other.

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:35.680
After narrowing down our selection and saving the best shots of Giovanni, I balanced hitting the mark creatively while complying with industry standards.

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.839
This ensured that our final edits would position Giovanni at the top of the pile of actors.

00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.360
Secretly, I filed away my favorites to show my friends my new Latino lover.

00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.199
Giovanni poured his drinks, signifying and saluting that the studio was closed for the night.

00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:02.800
On cue, Giovanni grabbed his guitar and started to play what would be the first of many love songs he'd have in his private collection for me.

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:07.680
This carefully chosen song was The Blower's Daughter by Damian Rice.

00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:18.480
Giovanni was extremely smart and equally deep, with a knack for strategically selecting songs that would both destroy you and simultaneously suck you in emotionally.

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.839
Side note, the song The Blower's Daughter was featured in the movie Closer.

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:32.480
It was the background music during a photo shoot in which Julia Roberts played a photographer and Jude Law played her love interest.

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.839
As of today, the video for The Blower's Daughter has 83 million views on YouTube.

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.279
Giovanni dramatically belted out lyrics.

00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.519
I can't take my eyes off of you.

00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.240
I can't take my eyes off of you.

00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.720
I can't take my eyes off of you.

00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.560
I can't take my eyes.

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.439
Then softly whispered, My eyes.

00:07:53.759 --> 00:08:03.920
He might as well have been John Mayer and me, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the song Your Body is a Wonderland because after that first kiss, my life had instantly changed.

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.040
I would take all of your big plans and break 'em.

00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.800
This is bound to be a while.

00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:14.319
From that day forward, my head wouldn't hit the pillow without his hand behind it.

00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.959
Whenever I didn't have Morgan, I would head into the South End to be with Giovanni.

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:25.199
We were nightly fixtures at the upscale restaurant Stella on Washington Street in the Hipp So Wah district.

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.240
The ambiance at Stella was exciting and energetic.

00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.840
Its modern all-white space was a favorite for creatives as it looked like a dimly lit Apple store.

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:48.960
In concert, a motley crew of characters who worked on Newbury Street would flood in after the daily grind as the two of us sat at the bar while Boston's beloved bartender, Peter Cipriani, would serve as cocktails while getting a kick out of our stories.

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:56.559
We'd bounce around restaurants and cocktail lounges, indulging in the South End's nightlife and trendy atmospheres.

00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:11.679
We'd frequent establishments such as Gaslight Brasserie, a French-inspired eatery, and the beehive, a live music venue filled with blues and jazz, tackle tapas and tequila at Toro, or we'd eat our hearts out at Inchovies.

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:18.720
One of our favorite things to do was people watch the diverse crowds of locals at Waldy's Cafe on Mass Ave.

00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:27.600
This legendary venue was one of the oldest jazz clubs in the United States and the first African American owned jazz club in New England.

00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:45.120
It was in this hideaway rich with history where we'd sit feeling slightly important and acting like we mattered, imagining that perhaps we had made it while sipping martinis and listening to the talent that would congregate with their instruments from the Berkeley School of Music a few blocks away.

00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:51.679
At that moment, life with Giovanni was like a rom-com or their most well-written love song.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:59.759
Once we clicked, time moved like a continuous shutter speed onto the next cover, next opening party, or next gig.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.000
It was the most exciting ride.

00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:07.200
We were constantly in motion, out on the scene, where working hard and playing hard lived.

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.000
We religiously trained and worked out together.

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:15.039
On weekends, we took long runs alongside Jamaica Pond and Jamaica Plain.

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.200
After our runs, we'd go back out because all of the running had Jamaica me hungry.

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:24.879
We were basically unpaid food critics who couldn't get enough culture, creativity, or cuisine.

00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:36.320
I thought it was love, and we both loved each other to the best of our abilities, but having this intense need to be together was also an unhealthy addiction and a codependency.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.639
Starting Chord.

00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:46.879
When we weren't out on the town raising holy hell, Giovanni would pull out his guitar and sing songs he loved to play.

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.639
Why don't you play professionally?

00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:49.440
I asked.

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.519
I gave up on my dreams, he said.

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:57.840
I had played with a band called the Travelers a while ago, but to get back into it seems almost impossible.

00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:03.759
We embarked on a creative collaboration, and in no time the Giovanni Gonzalez band was born.

00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:07.279
I went into overdrive, encouraging and supporting him.

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:12.320
I desperately wanted to inspire him because I instantly loved him and his voice.

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.000
I would remind him daily that he was a combination of Fergie and Jesus when he sang, stealing John C.

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.799
Riley's line from the movie Step Brothers when describing Will Farrell's singing voice.

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:27.360
Giovanni and I had the same humor, and it was a coin toss who was funnier.

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:36.080
There were moments of cartwheels, high kicks, love songs and laughter filled with shaker eggs, acoustic guitars, violins, and vocals.

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.120
We were a family band and the music played on.

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:46.559
I found my passion and purpose through photography, and Giovanni found his in lyrics often infused with raw emotion.

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.799
We discovered a new sense of self in Giovanni's music as we both pushed each other's artistic pursuits.

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:59.039
We shared the same love of music and creativity and obsessed over funny or tear-jerking movies.

00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.879
Giovanni's favorites were Mr.

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.360
Holland's Opus and It's a Wonderful Life.

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.120
It was a wonderful life as we embarked together and combined our magical talents.

00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.279
The Serenade.

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:18.960
Giovanni made me smile from the moment I opened my eyes in the morning when I looked at his dark complexion next to mine.

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:24.159
He would say, Carrie, you're so fair, I don't know where the sheet ends and you begin.

00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.600
We were inseparable and we didn't move without each other.

00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:34.639
Giovanni's brother-in-law, Tito, used to say we were like peas and carrots, a pair that perfectly fit together.

00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:40.399
I thought we were more like John Lennon and Yoko Ono, but I promised to never break up the band.

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.440
During those years, we did some incredible things.

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:50.080
Giovanni assisted me on shoots in LA and NYC where I photographed some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:57.039
We went on countless shoots where I photographed famous players and teams such as the Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots, and Bruins.

00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:01.759
Giovanni sang the national anthem at Fenway Park and the Boston Garden.

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:11.759
I also photographed the Dropkick Murphy's album covers when the album and song, Shipping Up to Boston, went platinum because of the Martin Scorsese film The Departed.

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:21.759
We sat on Giovanni's couch in Boston as we watched David Letterman hold my photograph that appeared on the cover of the album Meanest of Times in his hand on the late show.

00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.559
Giovanni even sang a song that appeared on a dropkick Murphy's demo.

00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:28.480
The song was Chosen Few.

00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.639
It was written by the Irish punk rock band's leader, Ken Casey.

00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:41.759
He wrote this short song to accompany an article in The Improper Bostonian, highlighting the band's success as they were nominated for the Boston's Best Issue.

00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.200
At the same time, I photographed the band for the cover.

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:47.679
It was a shipping up to awesome time.

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.080
It was all right there for us as we were the ultimate ensemble.

00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:54.879
Hitting the stage.

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.919
To me, being Giovanni's girlfriend was the role of a lifetime.

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:06.399
I documented it all, capturing every performance, standing ovation, and every stolen look.

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:17.120
I was there for every broken string, every nailed high note, I found missing chords, set up mic stands, located sheet music, organized set lists, and I didn't miss a gig.

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.200
I even did the sound checks.

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.159
I made the logos, t-shirts, and banners.

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.480
I arranged and styled the photo shoots.

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:33.759
I took the photographs and videos, did all the editing and created the promotional pieces while handing the publicity and directing his fan base to his next show.

00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.919
I did the whole kit and caboodle.

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:38.960
There wasn't anything I wouldn't do for Giovanni.

00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:40.480
I was his number one fan.

00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:50.960
That was until I became the character, Emily Poole, played by Jennifer Aniston, the girlfriend of the character Chris Cole, played by Mark Wahlberg in the movie Rockstar.

00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:57.360
The film tells a story of Chris Cole, a talented singer who performs in a Steel Dragon cover band.

00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:02.399
Eventually, he gets his shot at becoming the lead singer in the real Steel Dragon band.

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:10.799
He is asked to replace the original lead singer, Bobby Beers, as Bobby decides to part ways with the excessive rockstar lifestyle.

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:23.840
As lead singer, Chris becomes consumed by the trappings of fame, touring, groupies, and all the excess that comes with the rock and roll life, while Emily becomes disillusioned with Chris's new persona.

00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:36.240
I may have been living a version of the Emily Poole character, but I was no fool, as I yelled from the rooftops, trying to warn Giovanni of the slippery slope he found himself on.

00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:42.720
All the while, Giovanni, through caution to the wind, took center stage and yelled, stand up and shout.

00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:56.080
My way of standing up and shouting consisted of airing my concerns, setting boundaries, and voicing my opinions of what was at stake, our relationship, that was becoming less than harmonious.

00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:03.440
I hoped our relationship wouldn't have the shelf life of a hit song, which doesn't stay at the top of the charts forever.

00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:05.360
The tour.

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:09.440
Life with a musician is hard for many reasons.

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:14.480
It leads to late nights, drinking, infidelity, bar brawls, and bad behavior.

00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:19.679
There are two types of musicians, those who drink or do drugs, or those who are AA.

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:26.799
The ones who survive can stay long term in the industry and are the ones who are clean and sober.

00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.679
Life on the road is challenging in itself.

00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.279
Try packing equipment after performing all night at 3 a.m.

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.200
in Boston during a snowstorm.

00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:38.240
Life with the lead singer isn't glamorous at all.

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:43.919
Sometimes love isn't enough, and sometimes the music ends and it's closing time.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:51.360
You can have it all, but if your someone doesn't appreciate what they have, there will be another pretty face in the crowd.

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.480
Where there is a gig, there are girls and groupies.

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:56.399
You learn to live with it.

00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.039
For some reason, I didn't let it get to me.

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:06.640
I was Lady Gaga to Bradley Cooper and A Star Is Born, and Scarlett Johansson to Pete Yorn in the song The Relator.

00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.400
We were Sunny and Cher.

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.759
I even played the tambourine on songs like Wagon Wheel by the Old Crow Medicine Show.

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.920
Our love spun like a whirlwind until the wheels came off the wagon.

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.720
The late night jam session abruptly ended, and the final notes faded.

00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:29.839
The problem with Giovanni was he was great when he was good, and I had him on the straight and narrow for six incredible years.

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:31.599
These were happy times.

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:41.599
But ask Gwen Stefani, Kate Hudson, Gwen Palcho, Kim Kardashian, and Christy Brinkley what life is like with a musician, especially a lead singer.

00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.640
The story of the lead singer, guys with guitars, or those who can't walk the line is as old as time.

00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:56.880
I knew in my heart that this act was in trouble, and this performance might be ending its tour.

00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:07.119
I feared Giovanni would end up a one-man show as a cloud of uncertainty hovered over the stage, and I prayed the curtain wouldn't close.

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.880
This was the beginning of the hard time I would do.

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:16.400
Johnny Cash tells it best in the words he wrote in the song, walk the line.

00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:20.720
For you, I know I'd even try to turn the tide.

00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.839
Because you're mine, I walk the line.
