    I know if I hang a wooden clothes hangar on my wall my friends would wonder how crazy can I get? I’m still not sure that James shouldn’t have hung the black/white framed picture next to his bed in place of the hangar. Hey, I’m not a decorator nor an artist, who am I to say what’s right?
    I liked the way the photographs are arranged, like a soft drumming leading to a crescendo upon opening into the kitchen/dining and carrying us into the living area. James has a cozy place.

    • Vivian,
      That hanger is a fixture in his ever popular blog. Those who follow the blog might recognize the “hook” from which he hangs and photographs articles of clothing — that’s why I had to include it.

      Always great to hear from you V.

      Best,
      Michael

    I absolutely love his blog and I’m so glad you chose to feature him. His space is exactly how I would imagine it would be.

    • Joy,
      I often arrive not knowing what to expect when I go to these AAW shoots. As a regular follower of James’s blog I had certain expectations. Though I was impressed by James’s restraint. He seems to have just the “right” things and nothing else. Sort of Zen if you think about it.
      Thanks for taking the time.
      Best,
      Michael

    • Fiona,
      Happy New year to you! James’ story is great. I’ve wanted to shoot him for a while. Everyone seems to love his glasses. I guess that’s why he’s so successful; he has great taste.

      Good to hear from you,
      Michael
