Brooke Jackman Foundation

Fall has been very busy. A client with family ties to the brooke Jackman Foundation asked if I would be interested in donating to their Fall silent auction charity event. On October 27, 2011, the Brooke Jackman Foundation held its 10th annual silent & live auction cocktail reception at the New York Palace Hotel. The organization, named after a young professional woman who was lost on 9/11, is focused on improving literacy among at-risk children in the New York area. I offered a photo shoot for a young child and a finished fine art wall canvas. This was my set-up.

Home Design Show

Last Thursday I ventured out to Pier 94 at 55th St. on the West Side of Manhattan, and spent the day at the 10th annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show. I had the best day. I was only able to go one day and there was much to see and do and I missed a few great talks. I wish I could have returned on Friday to hear Incorporating Art with Design, featuring Eric Cohler, Francis D’Haene and Vincente Wolf. In any event, the show floor featured the most gorgeous rugs, glassware, kitchens, rift oak kitchen cabinets, Lindsey Adelman chandeliers – many many beautiful things – the newest and latest in home design. I was enjoying myself so much and constantly found myself in the company of friendly and very interesting people. Robert J Mc Hugh, an Interior Designer. His grandmother was a Mott. As in Mott Avenue, Far Rockaway. How interesting. We had many things to talk about. And then there was Bryan Quinlan and Darnell of Scenic Mesa located in Colorado. They sell buffalo leather tote bags, furniture and accessories. They had a tote bag with them – totally gorgeous. One artist – Michael J. Schunke a glass blower with a studio in West Grove, PA, was showing his collection of hand blown glassware. You can see my point and shoot photo here, as well as the official product shots Michael graciously supplied. These glasses are beyond. I can see these at the most colorful or most elegant and understated, dinner party table. You must see them in person up close and hold them. I am totally taken by the simplicity and beauty of this design I had to share.

Clever Holiday Card Insert

Had to share this very unexpected little gift. Check out this “flip-out” USB drive. It’s the size of a credit card and is printed on both sides to look like a cassette tape. Remember those? It came from On The Move Events and Entertainment . My parties with them are always amazing! They are very cool, hot when they need to be, very sophisticated and always at the forefront of musical entertainment. Can you tell I love these guys! I am a very lucky photographer when I get to work with On The Move.

Welcome 2011
