travel day/NYC bound

I love modern travel. Being able to put up a blog post as I fly to NY is rather nice indeed. We are above Wisconsin at the moment and I was reminiscing about where I was last year. This shot was above France somewhere. Isn't this image so painterly?
But today I am heading to NYC with 2 beautiful prints of Alvar Aalto's house in tow for the Noho Design District Plantworks show and a really great slideshow ready to go for my Talk on Saturday at ICFF. Hope some of you can make it out to one or the other of these events (or both!). Come up and say hi if you do!

ICFF talk/this Saturday, May 18th at 3pm/Javits Center, NYC

I am happy to say I am heading to NY this week. One of the reasons is because I am doing a talk at ICFF on Saturday at 3pm. I will be doing a slideshow and talking about the project that became Handcrafted Modern and now my upcoming book that I shot in Europe. So I will share a bit of a preview for those of you that can make it. Please come and say hello!

Another favorite from my shoot in Santa Barbara with Charles DeLisle.

hans wegner/charles delisle

Just back from a shoot in Santa Barbara this past weekend and thought I would share an image from it because I  loooove it! A Hans Wegner throne and an amazing rug. Not sure who did the rug, but Charles DeLisle did the interiors. Pretty...

the beauty of decay/shacks

I fell in love with a shack when I was in Mendocino a few weeks ago. I don’t know what it is about old abandoned structures that have been left to slowly fall down but they are like a magnet to me. I see a diginity in them. This one used to be a garage by the looks of it. Two old tires side at opposing corners and one has been blessed by a friendly vine.

A bit of quiet news. I have a finished all the chapters for my book. I say quiet because there is still so much to do, but I see the book – images and words are down and it is looking beautiful. Just waiting for the edits and first design directions now…anxiously waiting…

just thinking.../

about too many things. Heading off for a shoot, another shoot next week and NY the week after. Ran across these images of Ivan Ruller's apartment. I love them. thought I would share...

handcrafted modern/outtakes/blunk

Well...obviously I am having a JB Blunk moment. I had to go through the images I shot for Handcrafted Modern the other day and realized that all the digital images I shot I just never even looked at. Like this first image. I literally had never noticed it until the other day. I am in love with it now needless to say. Click on it to make it bigger. Take a little mental vacation.
