Oulala 4, Paris
This is part of my Oulala series of photographs 
from Paris. As I was on my way to a museum, this woman in the window beckoned me like magic. I think that I even walked by and came back to look. This photograph was in a gallery that was closed at the time.  All I know about the photograph is that it won a prize.



Oulala Paris 3
Marilyn Monroe is still alive and living in Paris in graffiti on asphalt roads and walls, in old prints sold along the Seine, and here, in this quite peculiar window display on the left bank.

A New Light, Casual Style
SOLD
Jade and Onyx Necklace -- SOLD

Vintage Black Beads with Cream Stripe, Onyx and Smoky Quartz with Sterling Silver Clasp


This 31-inch, opera-length necklace has small smoky quartz, matte barrel onyx, and matte vintage black and cream striped beads that are dynamic and unusual, but the composition of the beads are a mystery. I was told that it was onyx, but I can't guarantee this. All the beads look different, and they have a handmade quality. There are accent Swarovski AB crystals and a sterling silver hook and eye clasp.
