an afternoon with... 
i have been reading your blog for a while now, and i really do love your writing, i was wondering is there any way you can get updates for the latest article you post on email or even cell, Forgive my immaturity in this as i am really new to this internet stuff
There should be a subscribe button to enter in your email address on the top right below the menu bar. Thanks, Michael
Love your blog. Telling stories through pictures is not easy but you do a great job. I also spotlight people (professors mostly), and I am inspired by your blog. Keeping it minimalistic. I should definitely use more pictures

Love your blog…I think the difference between the success and failure of photo/style blogs like this is the quality of the images and the taste level/selection by the curator (yourself). keep up the nice work…. I will definitely be coming back for more…
Looking at your archive helps put me in touch with what I am doing…and subsequently, why I am blogging about what I am doing, especially lately. Thank you. My daughter has moved back…just today. My stuff has exploded out of closets and off of shelves and I am looking at it. And because I am REALLY looking at it, for the first time in a long time, I am considering it and what it says to me. If the ‘stuff’ says nothing, I am freecycling. If it speaks, I am listening. In perusing your space, I discover that this is something we are all doing. :0)
Completely unrelated, I have a technical question about your use of Twenty Ten. I used to USE this theme. However, I was wondering how you can display your visual archive in the way that you do? It makes enlarging your sub topics so accessible. Lovely work…
Painter Lady,
Thank you for your comment. I’m really happy to hear that our project has helped inspire you to look at your belongings in a totally different way. This is one of the reasons why we love doing what we do.
Regarding the layout, my partner, Nhi helped customize our WordPress.com theme using css/html.
I hope that helps.
Michael
Sublime images. Could someone please tell me what frames he’s wearing? Lemtosh?
Keep up the good work fella! Best to you and yours for 2012.
Hello Ian,
They are Warby Parker Fillmore specs.
Best to you.
So beautiful! I love all of your shots. Exquisite. x
Thank you Karyn. Aesthetic consulting – interesting work… Glad you found us.
Best to you. Michael

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

love it all.
Jenny,
Thanks for dropping by. I liked your blog. Stay with in the New Year as things are going to get better!
Happy New Year,
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

it looks like a pair of plastic glasses. very interesting. and i like his color socks, lool.
i dont know whether it’s your photos make feel this or i really think like this, the hanger suits him perfectly.
happy new year by the way, M & N 🙂
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
