I cannot get this creepy doll out of my head. I went to have a coffee a La Chascona yesterday before I jumped on the train and was compelled to photograph her again. Isn't she crazy? Why do I keep thinking about her? Look at her strange hand gesture.
But you can see from the last image why I returned to La Chascona. How cute is just the mix of coffee cup, saucer and creamer alone- AND good coffee!
Of course, I am in Paris now and shooting my last shoot of this trip today! Crazy!

I am excited to say that a couple of my favorite jobs from last year are finally out in print for you all to see! At the end of last year the lovely people at Martha Stewart Living sent me to Petaluma to the studio of doll maker Jess Brown. This is my personal favorite from the day. I feel like it speaks so much to what craftspeople's lives are really like. When you work by hand, a lot of time is spent toiling by yourself in your studio. It is a solitary thing a lot of the time. Somehow this image captures that. See and learn more about Jess and her wonderful handmade dolls in the February issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Or check out Jess here.
