And We’re Off…Happy 2012!


We are back to work after two weeks spent with our families and dear friends enjoying the holiday festivities. The past year has brought us much to be thankful for: fantastic clients, interesting projects, fun buying trips, challenges that have made us better at what we do…and we’re looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store for us! In looking back at the hundreds of photos we’ve each taken over the year of everything that has inspired us-or that we just loved-here are some of our favorite images from the past year. Clearly we love nature in all its many forms….can you tell!? Throw in some cute puppies in the window, great art, to-die-for furniture, a trip to the beach, yummy food and drink and we’re pretty much as happy as we can be. Here’s to a healthy and prosperous year ahead!























Mighty Waters

Our love of blue water is no secret. Whether on a boat sailing in the Caribbean, or in the Hamptons learning to kite surf, or merely staring out over a calm sea from the beach…that’s where you’ll find us at our happiest.

Recently inspired by reading Susan Casey’s wonderful new book THE WAVE we thought we’d share a few of our favorite ‘waves’…!

Map Works by Matthew Cusik



And finally, our dear friends the Keneas brothers who collaborate on the most exquisite seascape and cloud paintings. This is one of their beautiful miniatures.


For the Love of Photography…

We love photography of all kinds and all subject matter, though birds/animals and land/seascapes are some of our favorites. We encourage all of our clients to have at least one piece in their art collections–and they usually end up with the same passion for the medium as we have.
Below are some photographer’s work we really admire.

Troy Moth‘s exquisite birds of prey. Could happily stare at this fellow all day.

Dimitry Miroshnikov‘s wonderful and evocative photographs range from land to sea. This is one of our favorites.

Morten Koldby‘s photographs of animals make us, frankly, a bit giddy. How does he get them to sit that still and to pose so beautifully?

Alexander Semenov captures the alien-like creatures of the sea in a way that makes us wonder about getting back in the ocean again (well, not really but still…). We didn’t see anything quite this spectacular on our recent trip to the Caribbean, though we did both manage to get stung by a jellyfish.

And finally, but most importantly, we wanted to let you know about a wonderful fundraising event taking place on Monday, April 11th for PROOF: Media for Social Justice, founded by our good friend (and hero) Leora Kahn. PROOF: Media for Social Justice uses photography as means to inform and educate global audiences about human rights.
More information about PROOF and the event via the link above. We hope to see you there and be sure to bring your checkbook–some amazing photographers have donated work to be auctioned off for this event! If you can’t attend we encourage you to make a donation to support PROOF’s work.


Andrew Michael Geller



Andrew Michael Geller’s love of nature’s beauty helped mold him into one of the greatest architects of our time. As chief architectural designer and vice president of Raymond Loewy Associates in New York, he helped design NYC’s Lever House, Macy’s Department Stores and Lord & Taylor. But, it was his summer houses in the Hamptons and Fire Island that started our obsession. Geller’s designs were economical, easy to construct, and easy to seal up at the end of the season. The houses defined a new era of modernism on the beach.






Jim Denevan

As we awake to a snowy New York City, we can’t stop thinking about artist Jim Denevan’s hauntingly beautiful images of the frozen surface of Siberia’s Lake Baikal. As he captures nature’s fleeting moments, his work exposes the simple, yet arresting beauty of the natural world.
