Drumming to the rhythm of MY life.

There's only ONE with your dna: YOU.
Find your own voice,
your own style.
Listen. 
And do it.
Sophie, pictured above, naturally and spontaneously, knows her own rhythm...
...too bad we seem to lose it as we grow older.

"Continue your work".


I may not always know what I want,
but I always know what I do NOT want,
and by process of elimination and exclusion,
I discover a new world!
Continue.... 
and discover.
Note to self:
“Continue your work.”

Change your attitude and you'll change your latitude.


In this picture, this statue looks gigantic.
Actually, it was only 3 feet tall.
I laid down on the floor and took the picture looking up at it, 
thus making the statue seem huge.
Sometimes all it takes, is to change your point of view!

Have a magical day!



Fairies. 
Magical creatures. 
Messengers, between this reality and the unseen world...
a world of possibilities....
Have a magical day!

The secret is in the details.


A stylist’s touch.
The difference between good and great is “an eighth of an inch”
That’s what Ralph Lauren would say during fittings, when I worked for him.
Perfection is in the details. 
In this picture above, a stylist removes lint from a pant, on set of a 3 day catalog photo shoot I just finished. 
Well done Brian! (Brian Primeuax, stylist, Art Mix, LA)

Vestige of Time


Wrinkles.
We are so obsessed with staying young.
And yet with age comes
experience
knowledge 
wisdom
endurance
strength
enlightenment.
Enjoy the trip!

Take care of yourself


This  blind  beggar 
would have a perfect excuse for looking disheveled
and not take care of himself.
And yet, he is dignified and well dressed: 
The leather cap, the sandals, the vest, the bag,...
Take care of yourself.
Don’t be a victim!

Just passing through...


Life is fleeting.

Have you ever had a moment....
.....and then missed it.
Like.... when you feel like saying something to someone,
and you don’t say anything,
and then regret it.
Be present in every moment around you
there’s life everywhere
see it
feel it
grab it
before it passes by.
We’re just passing through...

Truth and Beauty



As beautiful as these masks are,
they hide and conceal one’s true self.
Truth cannot be masked,
eventually your true colors will shine. 
Be honest.
Be authentic!

A Draping Class?


A course in fashion draping?
No. 
For some women this is a typical and ordinary, daily way of dressing. 

Next time you moan: “What am I going to wear?”....count your fashion blessings.

You will never have this day again

In view of recent earthquakes, we must stop, reflect and appreciate life. 
Each precious conscious moment.
Each heartbeat.
Each breath.

Breathe!
You will never have this day again.

An Ensemble of Symbols


Every item you wear is a symbol representing something.
(note in detail all the symbols this man is wearing!)
With time and practice you can learn to “read” people.  
What you wear says something about you
And through your clothing you speak to the world. 
What do YOU want to say?
