Langham Hotel Pasadena - Sanjeet's 30th Birthday Party

I have had the pleasure of working for Sanjeet Nijjar on numerous occassions including their incredibly fun Halloween Party in 2006. Well Sanjeet decided decided to thrown himself a very grand 30th birthday party at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena and it was a spectacular event. Every detail was thought out so well and he hired such incredible designers to work with him including Alex and Dimash of Square Root Designs, Richard Taylor of Dazian and Sheryal Rozzelle of Unique Elegance.

How I Love the dr5 Process

My neighbor at my studio, Jimi of JD Restoration, has some incredible cacti including one that blooms annually. For the last two years he has told me I better shoot the flowers quickly because they bloom and die within one day and I never believe him.

Well this year I took him at his word and shot the incredibly beautiful blooms one morning. I shot the flowers both digitally and with film that was then processed using dr5. I absolutely love this process and even though dr5 doesn't show the beautiful pink hues of the blooms they are still beautiful images. Click here to view the digital images I shot.

Scarlett and her mom, Hilary

Scarlett's thank you note

Actress Meredith Salenger and I had the great honor today to be Scarlett Turner's special friends at her school, The Country School. This was my first year attending this event and it was so much fun and such a pleasure. I adore Scarlett. She is so creative, fun and beautiful. We went to lunch after school with her mom Hilary Shepard.

She wrote me the sweetest note to thank me for coming. I will treasure it forever.
