an afternoon with... 
Everything is beautiful. His apartment is beautiful, his mason jar is beautiful, even his shirt. When I grow up, I want my apartment to be this aesthetically pleasing. And I want that cat.
Emily,
Glad you liked it. I wanted his chair.
Take care,
Michael

I’m sure it’s an antique… But any info on the make of the leather club chair? Thanks! Great set.
Nolan,
I’ll ask about the chair and get back to you.

I continue to be amazed how much can be arranged in a tiny apartment and still find room for collectibles, as is the camera shelf. I live in a crowded 2,000SF house and it looks exactly like it is, stuffed to the gills and nothing to brag about. All these subjects have good taste and you show them to full advantage.
Vivian,
I am sure there is plenty to “brag about”. Though they do say “the contents expand to the volume” Who knows? Spring is almost here maybe its time to streamline.
Best,
Michael
I don’t know how you get it to look perfect in this places as curios and sometimes disorganized. Yes, I know: a resident with style and a photographer with personality.
I love what you do.
Sofia,
I love to hear that you think it looks perfect!
Thanks for the comment.
Best,
Michael
Great photos– I agree with reader “libraryscenes,” the Brooklyn apartments tend to have a similar feel– very cozy. Inspiring people and spaces!

Thanks. I think the commonality in the Brooklyn apartments is indeed the light. Maybe its because the buildings are a more uniformed height and therefor the light feels more consistent than Manhattan apartments. Its only a theory.
Michael
I’m very much enjoying your blog. It is most interesting (I’ve been checking the archives, first visit) the Brooklyn places all have the same feel, no matter the decor or layout; it’s the light. I’m curious if you usually shoot at the same time of day? Amazing photos. Cheers ~ a
libraryscenes,
Could be the light in Brooklyn. Such a provocative question. I’ll have to pay more attention now.
Thanks for dropping in.

i like his expressions in the last photo.
is that a cat on the bed?
the sofa beside the bed photo looks nice, and expensive, lol.
it seems that many artists will have national flag in the apartment. M, do you know (or guess) why?
Fiona,
Yes its a cat.
Its interesting that you should mention about the flag. Now that you mention it there have been several flags on this project (and another one coming soon). I think a lot of artist here in America are looking within our borders and finding there inspiration in the things they see at hand.Maybe the flag speaks of this interest in America right now.
Always love your comments.
Be well,
Michael
I love the shot with him in thebackground playing the guitar – what an amazing space. Where do you find these guys?
readytochangenow,
Technically thats his girlfriend in the background. She is an extremely talented folk singer.Her work can be found here .
Wem find everyone through word of mouth. Each person in the project recommends someone else. Its a great process.
Best,
Michael
Oops – thank you for the clarification – such a great project.
readytochangenow
did you check out her music?
No – I missed the link – will go and find now…
Great Space
Continue to have lovely days.
