Aaron Wexler, works on panel

personal faves from Spring '12 photoshoot

While some photoshoots can be fun and hopefully rewarding, it can also be exhausting and immensely stressful to bring together 5 months of work into 1 day of shooting. Thankfully Colleen Miner from Elite, photographer Jonathan Baskins and dear friend Anna SK helped me tremendously and we got some beautiful shots!  Thank you!

Steamboat Ticonderoga, Shelburne Museum, Vermont

Built in 1906, the Ticonderoga was a day boat on Lake Champlain until 1953 when it was preserved on land at the Shelburne Museum.  It's current interiors nearly replicate the boat's in 1923.

Gee's Bend Quilts

These inspiring quilts are handmade from leftover fabric and clothes and pieced together by an intimate community of Alabama women.  A rich Southern tradition laced with history and heartbreak, this particular style of quilt-making has been passed down for generations and now has original works in the Whitney Museum's permanent collection.

Vintage Book Covers

Vintage Books - but not necessarily rare books with amazing covers.   The artwork alone, is amazing.  Old F.Scott Fitzgerald novels, Faulkner covers.  They are such iconic classics.

Model One Tivoli Radio

Another amazing designer. 

Henry Kloss (pronounced “close”) was one of the original innovators of audio engineering, developing Hi-Fidelity speakers and radio receivers in the 1950s, and later the cassette deck.  In 1957, he founded his company KLH which produced the first small FM radio with high selectivity.  After a vigorous career in audio and television development, he co-created Tivoli Audio and produced the Model One Radio with functional design and great sound in mind.  It’s perfect and completely worth it.  WNYC public radio never sounded so good!
