In the mood for Autumn
The weather changed overnight, and suddenly, the Keatsian "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" is upon us. The temperature dipped, and we've put on our sweaters. In the garden the flowers have turned into seed pods. I have always loved the beginning of fall, where everything seems to change before your eyes. These are some of my favorite images from some of my recent work. I am lucky that I get to work with friends who allow me to do lovely things.

The Sea
"The edge of the sea has many voices, as I think of them, some booming, some frantic, some crashing. But the voice I respond most deeply to, listen most closely to, is one that whispers: a sussuration of water riffling across clacking stone, mingled with breezes catching in the high grass of the dunes. After years of first finding and then finally hearing and understanding what that voice can teach me, I have just begun to accept the relentless flux that is the condition of my life, of all our lives. Not young, not old; not betrothed, not alone; thinking back, looking forward; not broken, not quite whole anymore either. But present."Dominique Browning, Slow Love

RIP Corinne Day
all photos by Corinne DayThe English fashion and documentary photographer Corinne Day passed away over the weekend at the age of 48. I loved her fresh take on fashion, especially her celebrated photographs of a young Kate Moss for The Face. Of her own fashion work with other supermodels, she once said, "They're stale, just about sex and glamour, when there are other elements of beauty." She turned to documentary photography, capturing the messy lives of her friends with an unflinching intimacy that was at times unbearably sad.

Patrick Dougherty
Patrick Dougherty combines his carpentry skills with his love of nature to make fantastical, massive sculptures out of willow saplings and branches. He is currently working on an installation at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden as part of the institution's centennial celebration. I have been watching the work in progress over the last week. The first section of the installation is done today, and there are a few more to follow. I love the beautiful curving lines of the bent willows, so intricately woven and slightly out-of-this-world looking. Perhaps it is this Alice-in-Wonderland aspect of his work that I find most appealing.
