Vogues take on the mixed pattern trend...









I would love to be a part of the creative team at this photo shoot.

Ponza Island, Italy

There are some places in the world that are too beautiful for words...

Spanish Architecture

Casa Batllo, by Antoni Gaudi, at Barcelona, Spain, 1905 to 1907. It looks like something of a Lord of the Rings movie. It's very beautiful.

Portfolio Images

I took some pictures of a friend of mine for an interview with an agency for acting. Exciting! She got hired by the agency today.

This one was taken in my little girls room. We started in the room with the morning sunlight and kind of chased it around each window as the day went on. Unfortunately I don't have any type of professional lighting or a really nice camera for that matter. I'm starting to think I should invest some equipment.


This was like the second shot. Dosen't it always go that way. We shot about 110 or so that day.


Here she is in her $2 sweater. I wish I could find sweaters for that cheap!


I love the soft colors in this image. The dress (which by the way was may bridesmaid dress to her brothers wedding), her skin tone, her hair, everything looks so whimsical.


Remember this face, she'll be famous soon.

Christmas Pictures

It's amazing what you can do with a little bit of time, a regular digital camera, natural light, and oh yeah a couple rolls of smarties. I took some Christmas pictures for a friend of mine of her little girl. She looks like a little angel, doesn't she? Or a Ralph Lauren ad for children perhaps.

Vogue Germany

The style of this editorial from Vogue Germany is so elegant.

My Work

A little fun with Photoshop CS3.

Fashionista: Mary Kate

There are a few celebs that I can't help but admire when it comes to fashion. Mary Kate Olsen it tops on my list when I think of trendy.

I mean who else can rock out spiked heels and pink fur like this?

Rylins Room

This is the MiGi Pinwheel Collection I've decided to do for my youngest. I chose a paint color to match as closely as possible to the image below.
I'm a little disappointed that the lamp that goes with it is out of stock. I guess I could find something similar though, but isn't soooo cute!

Lighting

I love the lighting in this home. I'm trying to find some modern lighting for Rylins room that is not too expensive.

Featured Artist: Chris Natrop

Cut paper with watercolor, glitter and magic string; cut acrylic sheet; HD video projection...how to you even begin a project like this. As explained by the MOCA:

In And Further the dew drop Falls, los Angeles-based artist Chris natrop uses cut paper to transform MoCA’s galleries into a mesmerizing environment of freeform patterns that evoke nature and landscape. the show’s title, like the artist’s inventive process, reflects his interest in the concept of something emerging out of nothing. the artist uses the cycle and development of dew as an underlying metaphor for this new body of work. “water evaporates into the air and thencondenses as dewdrops, only to be evaporated again,” natrop states. In some areas of the exhibition light projections of water drops slowly descend the museum walls and are layered atop the artist’s organic cut-outs.

I wonder if this installation artist teaches classes. So hard to choose my favorite pieces so check out the website.

Create That Look

I found similar pieces (as my Love This Look post below) for a lot less at the Buckle. The top is $22, jean 69.50, shoes $20, and necklace only 5 bucks! Same look as above for a total of $116.50 opposed to $288 just for the jeans! Still can't match the quality of the clothes but you can steal the look ;)
