Phoenix
September 26, 2007
I'm out in Phoenix for the week visiting faithsalutes. We haven't seen each other since May and a visit was long overdue. Faith has done so much to her home since the last time I was here (she had just moved and we spent a lot of our time unpacking & organizing in a house with no AC). The AC is now working great and the house is coming along. We have very very different tastes and decorating styles, but I like that about us.
This morning I snuck around and took a few photos. Faith has always been good at creating little vignettes with objects. I struggle with this part of decor most of all, but she always inspires me. Here are two favorites:

The top photo: That is a vintage tonka car. I love it. I have always loved it. The ash tray is from an atique store that was going out of business in Los Angeles. I used to walk by it on a regular basis. Finally I went in inside...there wasn't much left and there was a tiny dog in there who I wanted to step on.
Bottom photo: That is a large portrait of Frank Zapata I bargained for in Nogales. The skinny African statue I bartered for in Mombasa, Kenya. The Indian photos I picked up in Santa Cruz at a flee market. World colliding.

What about the naked bust, Faith? Where is that from!

I'm more interested in the skinny man statue in the bottom picture. It makes the vignette.
