Not too many words today. Just a picture I love from June Schwarz's place in Sausalito. Have a great weekend friends!

Another wonderful story on porcelain artist Maria Moyer, this time in T style. Truly worth stopping into the Rogan store tonight  to see Maria's work. She'll be there so go up and give her a hug for me!

I know, I know....it seems like a cop out to post another image of clouds, but I have to say, yesterday's clouds right before I landed at JFK we just damn spectacular! Look at those babies!!! Like cuckoo mashed potatoes! Ha!

Shooting and work begins in earnest next week so lots of new things to show soon. So excited!

Heading to nyc for some super fun photo shoots! I'll be back on Thursday.

maria moyer/go see her work starting sept. 8th!

So excited to feature Maria Moyer again today. I have been photographing her for my project of craftspeople. To say I love her porcelain work is a bit of an understatement. I have a necklace of porcelain rings (a lot like what she is wearing in this image) and it is one of my favorite things. It makes the most glorious sound when I move. Everyone in NYC is going to have a treat starting this Thursday, September 8th. A series Maria has been working on, Blue, will be showing at the Rogan store. Read more about it here. I even think there will be some of her porcelain necklaces available...

What is it about tools that are so beautiful? I just found this on my iphone - some tools sitting out in the workshop at Heath LA. I really love the text on that ruler, though...it really adds something...

have a wonderful weekend my friends.

daily life/nameless friends

I don't really know this guy, but I feel like I do.

I see him almost every time I go walk out near Sutro Baths. He is always sitting on this bench, usually reading (his John Le Carre novel is tucked behind the log there). Yesterday when I saw him, I was going at a pretty steady clip and he was looking wonderously into the bushes (yeah...no idea what that was about), but he made me smile as usual. On the day I shot this image, I was location scouting and I finally chatted with him. He's a talker in the best sense and when his words began spilling out they were tinged with the best southern accent (I love a good accent!). He told me all about other good places to shoot and the vets that usually are walking around there (including one that carries around a hammock so he can rest. his meds make him drowsy). He's full of stories and a complete sweetheart! But I was so enthralled listening to his stories (and his accent) that I completely forgot to ask his name!
