Foto Friday, 4/3

Today, I dug into the archives. I have misplaced my battery charger for my camera. I still have the bowels of my Jeep, behind the seats, where everything ends up, to search, but after that, I give up! If I’ve posted these before, forgive me, I’ve lost track.

I have meant to post these for quite some time, but always seem to get distracted. Jeff Mallory graciously let me tour Emile Normans house quite some time ago, and I always wanted to post these photos taken there. KQED did a lovely documentary of the mans life that I thoroughly enjoyed also. I came  away from both in awe of the man’s genius.

  

  

   

 

   

  

The entire house is a work of art, and Emile did it all. If I can find the link to the documentary, I will post it here. Worth the time to watch it, as his was a fascinating life.

  • Hope you find your charger, too!

    That video of Emile's creations was among the best ever made.
    KQED did a fine job of portraying Emile's life tied to his home in Big Sur.
    For those that have not seen that documentary, please take the time to enjoy the video, it is truly outstanding/ inspiring.

    Thanks, Kate, for all you do.
