Claire? In a skirt?
Now, that's a treat for Halloween...

Athena Adorned

At the very last minute (what a surprise), Chloe demanded a crown to embellish her Halloween appearance as the goddess Athena. Lucky for her, it was my night in the metalsmithing studio...

Song Sung Blue

Cabaret at Redwood Theater.
Not a dry eye in the house when
Chloe sings a song sung blue...

Color My World

I've been experimenting with food and light and tried to steal a page from More Magazine's September issue... I love the way the thinner edges of this cranberry relish ignite with the back lighting, how the seeds and pulp cast shadows, and the color reflects off the surface of the Pyrex dish. Glam!

Claire and her friend Nina were thoroughly delighted to sneak up
on Lemony Snicket as he signed books this evening...

A Beacon in Darkness

Alcatraz is, at best, a grim place: a reminder of all that is unfortunate in society. The cells and the bars made me shudder as we toured the erstwhile prison, but for me, this lone little lightbulb brightened the whole experience.

Brilliant Blue

What a thrill to see the Blue Angels from Alcatraz this afternoon. Beauty and precision in a cloudless sky. Good ferry-to-ferry connections. Dinner on the waterfront at sunset. Some days work out just as they were planned...
