Man Ray and Lee Miller at Legion of Honor

Last week at the Legion of Honor,  I had the pleasure of attending the press preview of the new "Man Ray | Lee Miller, Partners in Surrealism" show in San Francisco.  It's always great to hear the perspective of the house curator (in this case Julian Cox), but also the original curator from the Peabody […]

I was recently at Union Square Green Market to pick up some maple candy from Deep Mountain (http://deepmountainmaple.com/green-market) for friends. Check out these rainbow carrots from Paffenroth Gardens.   The texture!  The colors! Oh, and the pecan maple candy rocks, too.

In NYC, on my way to have French Onion Soup Dumplings at The Stanton Social, I happened across this amazing macaron shop: Biscous Ciao (http://www.bisousciao.com/). Bright, colorful and simple interior design, this was a shop you wanted to step into! And, the macarons were delightful. I shared a dulce de leche as an appetizer!

Barndiva - Salon des Sens

Barndiva's Salon des Sens exhibition was quite a success during the opening reception this weekend. A big thank you to Studio Barndiva and Curator Maggie Spicer who organized quite a 'palatable' exhibition revolving around the food we eat. As I flowed through the crowds, it was quite evident how art can influence our relationship to […]

Oren's Kitchen

We gained a couple pounds this week thanks to Arnon Oren of Oren's Kitchen and his slow-roasted artisan nuts. It is the pleasure and the burden of a food photography studio to be given such tasty food gifts.

I photographed Ohara Davies-Gaetano at her Newport Beach retail location, Bliss Home and Designs, for Luxe Magazine. Recently, she has opened up a new storefront here in Northern California, in Mill Valley, and it's definetly worth your visit to see all her beautiful things.
