Leave it to me to make an actual Hamptons mansion look like Grey Gardens...ha!

reeds/long island

This is what I opened my eyes to yesterday. Peaceful isn't it? I had a lovely, relaxing weekend of long walks and talks with a dear friend. A bit of much needed R&R.
A lot of my time I spent staring out at these reeds. I am fascinated by the verticality of them - and they just dance in the wind...It is mesmerizing.
PS - did you see my image of Charles Bello's place in the Style section of yesterday's NYTimes? Kinda exciting! Tomorrow I will start posting outtakes from the Bello images. There are LOTS!!!

Happy 2012/

Just one more post for you all til the new year. I have a bit if a deadline coming up for some writing and I am right in the thick of it now so I am going to concentrate on that and come back to you refreshed and deadline free(ish) in the New Year. But I leave you with a calming image to reflect on that I shot it in Long Island a couple of weeks ago. The light is different there than California but I am equally in love with it. I look forward to getting to know this lovely east coast light in the new year. Thanks for helping to make my 2011 one of the best years of my life! Kisses you lovely people!

sunset/long island

This is what I was rewarded with at the end of my shoot on  Long Island last Friday. Not bad at all...
