Not that I haven't been inspired lately… I have been busy working. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I finished the year off with a commercial and some bed styling. Now, I am winding down with paperwork and promos. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I am taking this opportunity of procrastinating by writing this post to share some Holiday work I have done this year. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Some pictures are from Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn catalogs as well as a few from a cookie catalog I worked on for Lotus Bakeries.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Wishing you warmth, peace, love and prosperity. </span><br />

I think it may be an illness but I know that I am not alone. Most people have something that they collect.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">While I am out prop shopping I don't hesitate to buy something I am attracted to. *When an object catches my attention I pick it up without a second thought. I am sick.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I love old things typically and I like to mix them with new modern pieces. There are no rules. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Anyway, here are some new pieces that I have added to my arsenal of dish-ware over the last two months. Some I found in Venice, CA others here in San Francisco and Marin plus the cool cutting board that one of the Pottery Barn set builders made out of some reclaimed wood. A few will be used in my next food shoot with Alexa and Michael.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Each are handmade by an artist out of one of two materials, wood or clay, and are my current inspiration. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">They are now mine.</span><br />

The ones I had weren't small enough… so we opted for an espresso spoon. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">This was a start to my new pursuit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I started scouring antique stores and flea markets. I am pretty quick to see a design I like and I have been finding some interesting patterns making my new collection an eclectic mix. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I now have some super cool small spoons, shapely forks and various serving pieces. Well... and a couple of full sets of silverware. I am trying to slow down. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I also, have a new appreciation for a well designed fork.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Here are my favorites.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I know that I am jumping ahead a bit because most of my catalog friends are finishing up Halloween or working on Thanksgiving. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Soon the gift wrapping and tree decorating will begin. I have many fond memories of Christmas Photo shoots and the people who taught me the strategies of keeping a drooping tree looking good in the East Coast humidity. Many days we left set covered in glitter from all the decorations. I also have honed my skills as a master gift wrapper. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">All of this has prepared me for my first "Holiday" styling job. It has been fun and I will post photos someday… before Christmas time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">What I will share now is my June inspiration.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; text-align: left;">I wasn't sure I was going to get to use this handsome fellow and beautiful carved wood trees but for the last two months they kept me inspired and excited for this job. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">I have now finished my three day shoot with Lotus Bakeries and their team. It was not as crazy as days gone past but thanks to all of YOU who were in the trenches with me for so many years (and you know who you are) it went smoothly and was a good time. Thank you, always.</span></div>

I had to spend some time contemplating what has been inspiring me so I could write something for the blog.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">So, what is inspiring me this month? Breakfast!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Most mornings I make time for making a good breakfast. I have an easy recipe that I call a "French fried egg". Toast with dijon mustard and a lightly fried egg with red chili flakes and salt. Yum!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I top it off by serving it (to myself) on a cute plate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Here is todays breakfast on a plate I bought this weekend at the Marin Flea Market.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Bon appétit.</span><br />

I have been shopping for three different shoots. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I now need to go to my storage unit and sort through all of the many props that I have purchased these last few weeks. </span><span style="color: #073763;">Before I do, I am sharing some of what I bought this weekend. I have collected quite an array of things and this isn't all of it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">My biggest purchase was this beautiful vintage silverware set, service for six with various serving utensils. An elegant yet simple design. Now, I have a full set to mix in with my eclectic collection of silverware. (I threw in my favorite fork…yes, it's possible to have a favorite fork).</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">This is not the inspiration I had planned to share for April but I think that the pop of orange brings some brightness to match our beautiful Spring time in the city.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Onward ho!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">Soon, I will be sharing another food shoot that is coming up!</span>Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14794299383054943073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209028517442378506.post-82757506468146064572014-03-05T09:46:00.001-08:002014-03-05T09:48:57.471-08:00Sitting Down <span style="color: #073763;">This cover of Anthology magazine has sparked my March inspiration photo.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">I love old chairs. I have always been attracted to the uniqueness of a fine crafted wood chair. I had this idea many, many years ago that I would have a living room filled with chairs… all of them different. To create an environment for socializing. It hasn't come to fruition, yet. I have a few chairs that I have held onto over the years including this one. Usually, a palm tree occupies this seat in my room. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">On display are some of my favorite collected pieces. A tin tray, french espresso bowls, a modern organic vase and a new embroidered dish towel. Lovely neutrals.</span><br />
<br />

I love to see how everything is pulled together. The plates, linens and flatware that are chosen. The way everything is arranged on a table. Enchanting lighting. I want to be there… I want to do it too!</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;"><a href="http://michaelbennett.net/" target="_blank">Michael</a> and I collaborated with a Food Stylist with this editorial concept in mind. Different from the one we did awhile back with our friend Martha. I have learned more. We planned our shoot with <a href="http://alexahyman.com/" target="_blank">Alexa Hyman</a> whom we both have worked with on Pottery Barn shoots.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;">I had great fun. This is the beginning of what I hope to be more food shoots… whether with these folks or for hire. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;">We did a little bit of everything: cheese plate, drinks, prep, single food shots and then the hero of the full meal. We are all happy with the results. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>

I have a photo shoot in two days that I have been preparing for the last couple of months. I am using some of my collected props for this months inspiration photo.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763;">People may be thinking of pink and red for this month of LOVE but I am feeling the blues and grays of Winter in San Francisco. Mixing in some contrasting color and patterns for an eclectic table top. </span><br />

<span style="color: #073763;">It is January in the year 2014. One of my (many) goals for this year is to post a photo every month of objects, colors and ideas that are inspiring me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"> I don't know where my inspiration will come from. I find it in magazines or out shopping. A lot of times conversations with friends can spark an idea. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #0c343d;">When Lori and I first planned her visit up to San Francisco we had decided it would be a good time for us to collaborate on another photo shoot for her jewelry line </span><span style="color: #674ea7;"><a href="http://shoplilygirl.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lily Girl</span></a>.</span><span style="color: #0c343d;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">We originally had discussed doing an urban shoot but this time we planned on a setting in the woods by the creek… an outdoor tea party. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Lori and I combined a selection of clothes for the wardrobe. I had been inspired by current magazine spreads so we chose a sort of Bohemian, Urban hippie chic. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">I asked my friend Alexia to model for us because she has beautiful long black hair and exotic features. By surprise we had our second model, home from college, pretty Emma. Who had modeled for </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.lilygirlfriends.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Lily Girl</a></span><span style="color: #0c343d;"> this past Summer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Originally, I wanted to take the girls down into the creek but with an assessment with my photographer we decided it was going to be too tight and awkward. As the morning went on, before our models arrived, the light in the trees became so enchanting we found our locations.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d;">Pulling the tea party idea together was fun. I used pretty cups from Mikes grandmother and some of her silver tea set. I also, bought an array of colored macaroons, </span><span style="color: #0c343d;">some new linens I purchased in New York</span><span style="color: #0c343d;"> and roses from the backyard to brighten up the party. The foundation of the set was finished with my green settee, coffee table, and a borrowed rug.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Once Alexia arrived we started the show… and continued with wardrobe, jewelry and location changes. These are my favorite shots that Lori took.</span><br />

You can see her work on her <a href="http://shoplilygirl.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="http://www.lilygirlfriends.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> but here she is in action. One of the many talents of my dear friend.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">It never ceases to amaze me how photo shoots get pulled together. Always a lesson in being present and conquering obstacles and... we turn out great work every time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">This was another fun time with my best friend. There will be many more to come! Stay tuned.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">Thank you to Alexia and Emma for being good models and Mike for hosting the shoot at his house and for all of his helpful ideas.</span><br />

Artists have been segregated to the East Bay and Hunters Point. Even Hipsters are out numbered in the Mission with the surge of puppy Millennials invading neighborhoods, riding around on their Google buses. <br />
<br />
With all of these changes we have seen housing prices go up. Rents have increased incredibly and since the Air B & B advancement it's harder to find a descent apartment. Most of us have been lucky enough to not get pushed out of our homes but we hear the stories constantly. Good luck if you are trying to move.<br />
<br />
So, with all of this on my mind I had this idea for a photo story. If you can't afford to pay the crazy rents you could live under ground. <br />
<br />
The space under our building is unfinished and has inspired me to create this vision. Here is Michaels' and my story of living the glamourous life in our enchanting city... in the basement.<br />
<br />
<br />
Imagine waking up in the morning and this is your bedroom. <br />

Regardless if anyone is paying attention I am continuing on... because it is fun.<br />
<br />
Life has been interesting and therefore I have not written any posts in months.<br />
<br />
I have been busy with my boyfriend, projects and work. I have been extremely inspired but have not had the time to do all that I want. There doesn't seem to be enough time. The tree house or "the nest" as we call it, is not near finished. Although, I do have a couple of photo projects in the works I have not had the time to move forward but I do hope to have at least one done by the end of June.<br />
<br />
Work has been very consuming and so I thought I would share some of what I have been doing these last few months... in photos.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

Yep.I recently was invited by a young photographer and fellow Blogger, <a href="http://www.architecturalblack.com/" target="_blank">Lynn Kloythanomsup</a>, to style a product she was shooting. Always, excited to do something new I took on the opportunity to do more prop-styling. <br />
<br />
Her clients family has had their nursery for almost thirty years. The son, Jed, wanted to have a more sustainable production using biodegradable containers rather than plastic. So, he used an old technique of using rice husks to make new containers. He has developed amazing and colorful pots for plants. They will biodegrade over time and quicker if left outside but they are riding the wave of the future at <a href="http://ecoforms.com/" target="_blank">Ecoforms</a>. Taking better care of our Mother Earth.<br />
<br />
Jed, who has been running the show since 2004 hired, Lynn to help update their website with shots of their newest product colors and shapes. His parents opened up their home to us to produce our photo shoot. We had a fun day experimenting with all the varieties Jed provided.<br />
<br />
These are my favorite pictures from that day. <br />

Never one to hold back; I exclaimed "you have a tree house"! Then I asked him if he or his three teenagers use it. "No, the kids were never interested". My brain started spinning. What fun to hang out in a tree in Marin! Luckily for me he liked my enthusiasm.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Of course the next question was "do you mind if I check it out"?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">The new venture started. My man let me climb up and I spent a day cleaning house. I asked the spiders to please leave so they wouldn't get sucked up by the shop-vac. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">We had our first cocktail party on the veranda that night.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">The house was built between two Bay trees and is very solid. Not only did the architect line the outside with weather proofing, he finished it off with shingles </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">left over </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">from the add-on to the main house. It has a nice little window that faces West. Perfect for the afternoon sun to stream in. Although, the inside measures 5 by 4 feet wide and only 5'4" tall there is a lot of potential for lounging. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">The outside has about a 3 foot veranda that goes around two sides. Plenty of room for two chairs and two people to sit and sip. The door is a piece of plywood that Mike is going to shape up and I will paint. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">There are some minor adjustments needed for the outside. One, which Mike already started, is to finish shingling the outside and the other is to change the entrance up to the house. The rope ladder and small hatch in the floor is not going to cut it for most visitors. We will create a new entrance with a ladder. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Mike also made a pulley for raising and lowering a basket to transport goods!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">My idea is to have cushions on the floor and hang any other items that might be useful to have in the house. Like blankets, glasses, a corkscrew... I am sure you catch my drift. We are leaving the rustic charm of the outside for camouflage and authenticity.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">I have started the next phase: painting. I primed the inside last week. Chose two colors of paint for the floor and walls. Then e</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">arlier this week I painted the walls "chamois"... getting some in my hair of course. Yesterday, I painted the floor "silver spruce". I also, hung my first piece of art. This is just the beginning!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Since I have no current projects to talk about I have decided to post photos that I have taken recently.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">These photos are ones that I took on my latest work week in St Helena, California. One of the gems of Sonoma. We had a fun week working and playing. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Enjoy!</span><br />

People who drink tea or coffee have their particular ways of blending their brew. I am sitting at the table in my living room looking out the window... enjoying my cup with cream and honey.<br />
<br />
These photos are the other part of the two part food shoot with <a href="http://michaelbennett.net/" target="_blank">Michael</a> and Martha. Although, we intended them to all go together this seems more like a separate story. <br />
<br />
Here is our vision of a morning ritual.<br />

There are a couple of people I want to thank that contributed to this shoot... <a href="http://www.mariodepalma.com/" target="_blank">Mario De Palma</a> for giving me the beautiful drop leaf table and Peggy Hickey for loaning me her perfect dining chairs. It's these little gestures that can make pulling a project together much easier. <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">Yet another collaboration with two good friends. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">Our first food shoot. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">Food styling by Martha Arriola photos by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><a href="http://michaelbennett.net/" target="_blank">Michael Bennett</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"> and propping by me. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">For a few months Martha, Michael and I had been talking about doing a food shoot. It was time, after years of working on PB shoots, for us to pull our ideas together. Martha wants to build up on her food styling experience, I want to do more table top and Michael well, he is up for any new photo project.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">I asked Martha to pick the menu and I would choose the propping around her choices. She wanted brunch... I appreciate a good breakfast so, I said "YES". Besides my living room is perfect for morning light. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">The process was fun for me because I enjoy shopping and finding unique items. I hit a lot of thrift stores and scored on many pieces of dish ware and table top items. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">I also, have been sewing so even though its not evident by the photos I did make the table cloth. Which has fine little detailing around the edges. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">We started with a story about four friends enjoying breakfast together. Bloody Mary's, fruit salad, savory potatoes with eggs and toast (of course). We did also do a dessert and coffee course but now after editing and cropping we have decided that these could be two different stories. I will be writing a separate post with the other photos.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">I have chosen these for this post but there are more that each of us can use. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;">After the whole process we have found that the three of us can't use all of the photos for what we are trying to achieve for our independent portfolios. Still this was a successful merging of our talents.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0c343d;"><br /></span></div>

Mostly because we both have been busy and it's hard to get together. We finally finished!<br />
<br />
I have been inspired by the decorating stories that Elle Decor UK does in every issue and wanted to duplicate the same process. I've been planning this shoot for months and we actually shot some of it before the holidays. <br />
<br />
Aubergine is a good neutral. I imagine it more like brown or grey. I have been in a purple daze for over a year and as might be expected the color has been incorporated into my wardrobe.<br />
<br />
This first picture was the kick-off to our first day on the project. I had the vision when walking down the street one morning and so Michael and I carried it out.<br />

I thought it was funny that his favorite color was "banana". I remember asking him over and over again, "daddy what's your favorite color"? I would giggle at his answer and say, "that's not a color"! <br />
<br />
I'm inspired by the brightness of yellow. I am aware of the color more these days and see it in magazines as well as on the street.<br />
<br />
I have a photo shoot coming up with my two friends Martha and <a href="http://www.michaelbennett.net/" target="_blank">Michael</a>. Our recurring theme will be... yellow. Martha has pulled together a menu and I am choosing my props from her food choices. Michael and I have also been discussing our inspiration on lighting and propping that we are gathering from magazines and on-line. This is going to be a fun collaboration for the three of us.<br />
<br />
Michael and I, just today, finished our "color story" shoot. We are both excited with the results which I will be posting here soon.<br />
<br />
In the meantime these are some recent visions of my current favorite hue. <br />

She lives in a beautiful farmhouse in the woods with her husband and two sons.<br />
<br />
I have had the pleasure this past week to spend some time with Juli and her boys while dad has been away on business. I arrived the day after a snow storm to this beautiful place and have been experiencing what it is truly like to live in the present.<br />

One of the best parts of these friendships is how inspired I feel when talking about ideas and coming up with projects. Sometimes the ideas take awhile to get produced but then there are those that have to happen NOW. <br />
<br />
I was working with <a href="http://www.knipstein.com/" target="_blank">Brad</a> when he told me about his plan for shooting still lifes in a dark environment. I suggested that we try to create the images in my basement. <br />
<br />
Then I couldn't stop thinking and planning... envisioning the tales and walking around my house picking out the props. <br />
<br />
We pulled this shoot together in three days. <br />
<br />
I composed the stories... <a href="http://www.knipstein.com/" target="_blank">Brad</a> provided the vision and the light... in the dark.<br />

A lot of these are declarations of love.<br />

I am sharing some that I see when wandering the streets of San Francisco.<br />

This is my Valentine to you...<br />

They wanted to show various shower curtains in a bathroom setting rather than their typical swatch format. <br />
<br />
My friend, <a href="http://www.knipstein.com/">Brad Knipstein</a>, was coming into the studio to do an Easter re-shoot (that I got to style with the Senior AD). It turned out, that because there was a huge load of pictures needed, the Digital Studio asked him to stay on through the next day. So Brad and I spent a day playing in the bath.<br />
<br />
Just like the table top shoot I had the opportunity to style little bathroom scenes. We had a good time playing with angles and ideas. I "shopped" in the PB prop cages and came up with some fun still-lifes.<br />
<br />
Out of the seventeen curtains we shot that day... these are my favorites. Plus, some reportage by Brad.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">A few months ago I was working on a job for <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/">Williams-Sonoma</a>... styling linens for the website. I was informed by the Art Director that I would also need to be prop and food styling for the following days' shoot. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">That night I went shopping with my $100 budget to get some various food for the shoot. As I was walking to the store my dog stuck his nose into a Boulangerie bag in front of the cafe. Inside was a beautiful round loaf of bread. Yes, I took it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">I had a bag of groceries, a heavy loaf of bread and with the help of my friend, Martha, it was a very productive day collaborating on food and prop styling. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Everyone had a good laugh when we realized how many scenarios that the "Bruno loaf" was actually used. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">These are some of the shots from that day...</span><br />
