Earthy Elegance

The wedding of Joy and Lye was celebrated in earthy elegance.  
Located at the totally unique Headlands Center for the Arts in way west Marin, these two created the perfect party with inclusion of family and friends from most of the continents, a beautiful biodiesel bus to ferry them from and back to San Francisco, the historical site, fun vows, an incredible organic feast, and some splendid live jazz.   From the roots up, this wedding was sustainable to the core, including a striking bouquet made from winter kale, and live succulent centerpieces that the guests took home.    Wow!

Invitations for Impact

When Amy from ABCD Designs sends me cards, they make me feel like a little kid again.  You can tell form the envelope that is is going to be decadent and unique.   You'll turn off the TV and find a quiet spot, all while fixated and exploring it with with your hands. You naturally sit down or stop whatever you're doing, think or say...."this is going to be good" .  You might even let it sit out, like a gift, and wait for company to experience the opening of it with you.   Like it is meant to do, it is all about impact. 
Do explore her work, as she is  blessed artist full of flavor and personally designed tangible productions.

K, G, and the one who makes them three


Kirsten and Gerald, longtime friends of my wife (and now I), have a little lady named Lila who already knows how to strike a pose.   Here are a few from her first photoshoot with me.  
  





One of my favorite shots of all time

....for reasons that are hard to explain.
