Crate and Barrel
April 30, 2012 5 Comments
Crate and Barrel is the one store that makes me wish I could remove everything in my house and start over. (Except for my family, of course.) They are known for great merchandise displays, always presented as a story. Even ordinary goods, like white plates, can be assembled and coordinated in an eye-catching manner.These photos are from the Madison Avenue store in New York. They were shot in January, I’m sure the spring displays are even more appealing.
iPhoneography

Inspired by Stephanie Calabrese Roberts’ book “The Art of iPhoneography“, I had the opportunity to practice some iphone photography in Lima, Peru. The architecture and scenery in this decades-old city made the exercise easy! Focusing on using the Lo-Mob, Hipstamatic, and Photosynth apps, here are a few of my favorite places. Above, a panoramic view of the Plaza Mayor, photographed with Photosynth.

Full of intensity and light, Uniqlo has opened a flagship store at 666 5th Ave. in New York. This store begins to beckon you from across the street, where second story window graphics flash behind rotating mannequins.

Simple Retail

While searching for some images recently, I came across a few forgotten photos that reminded me that even in it’s simplest form, all retail can appeal to the right shopper. Above, a New York street vendor presents their wares.
Remembering 9.11.2001
September 9, 2011
This is the picture I associate with 9/11. I took it on the evening of 9/9 on the Pacific Princess going out of New York Harbor to Bermuda. I remember watching CNN in my cabin when the planes hit as the boat went into Bermuda. Everyone on the boat gathered to watch CNN together. People were frantically trying to contact family in New York. It was very surreal to be in a location so tropical and beautiful while seeing such destruction.
