THE COMPETITION IS HEATING UP IN THE BOOK GIVEAWAY SUBMISSIONS

Entries are pouring in!!

I hope you will pick up your camera and start snapping pictures of what moves you from the printed page of a book. It could be a snap of your backyard, something you arranged in your bathroom, the way you organized things in your kitchen, a color palette: ANYTHING. Today, I got an entry from Celerie Kemble. She explained how a project was inspired by a costume photo from Tony Duquette and Hutton Wilkinson's theatrical book, More is More. The colors, textures and mood of the photo were all touchstones for her vision.

What inspires your happy home?
