surprised?

May 18th, 2012

My friend Bill looks surprised because I completely forgot his birthday, a few days ago.  So, making up for it here, a double tribute to him and the Tiki Ti Bar in Los Angeles, where we were celebrating something.  Might’ve even been his birthday!

Room Fu on HGTV

May 15th, 2012

I’ve found a kindred spirit in Robin Callan of Room Fu.  She’s an interior designer extraordinaire and shares my love of pretty colors, textures and fun patterns.  It’s no surprise that two of her living rooms are featured on HGTV.

I had much fun photographing these living rooms.  The hardest part is not being allowed to stay and hang out in the living room for a few hours.  But I think the people who actually live in these houses just might find it too weird to have me on their sofa with my feet up and sipping a Manhattan.
