This breathtaking, Beinfield, steel fireplace, which I had the pleasure to photograph, is helping. But not as much as my brand new bottle of Marshmallow Smirnoff.
We’ve been super fortunate over here at Sequined Asphault Studio, and some exciting news almost got lost in the shuffle. While we were on our honeymoon, Beinfield Architecture received a 2011 AIA Connecticut Design Award for their new House in Ridgefield!
Congrats to Andrew Bartolotta AIA, Bruce Beinfield FAIA and the rest of the Project Team. I was thrilled for the opportunity to photograph the project and had a great time working with the Client. There is tons of inspiration and creative genius, attributable to both Architect and Client, throughout this deceptively simple barn with something modern and surprising at every turn.



Which one? The not so subtle differences edition…

Thanks, people. I always appreciate the extra eyes and perspectives.
Here’s a bit of what I was doing last week. Sometimes drinks with Andrew are more productive than other times…


I couldn’t be any farther behind in my blogging and keeping up with social media in general. If we’re friends on Facebook then you’ve already heard me complain that my lists have lists and that my wonderful, fantastic, even magical iPhone4 was stolen and I’m basically interweb and point-and-shoot crippled with my original iPhone rebooted.
It’s not that I need sympathy. I don’t. I’m doing great. And I’ve never been more productive in my life. (Now I’m just bragging, apparently.) But, seriously, big things are happening over here and life and work are just blurred which, turns out, is how I like them. I’m getting married in less than 2 months; we’re looking for some new architecture to call our own, redesign and decorate; babies are being conceived and born right and left (not center, thank you very much); parties are being planned, thrown and attended; businesses are getting run; photo shoots are happening all over the place… oh, and we were published in another one of those glossy magazines! I hope you’re having as great a summer as we are over here at Sequined Asphault Studio. We’re gonna try to stay in better touch…
*sigh* Life is so hard when you have to wander around beautiful places like this…

Actually, the difficult part is getting to places like this. I mean, I’m a city girl. Gimme a metrocard. I am so not prepared for washed out road detours and Dug’s trusty gps sending me down muddy, unpaved, mountain roads. And farms. Did I mention farms and farm equipment?

Well, it was worth it for the spring shoot of the House in the Orchard. You’ve seen it before, in winter. But there’s nothing like spring in the orchard.
