NOTES
Barbara Westbrook on Photography
Art selection often lands towards the end of a project. After 1, 2, 3, 4 years of building a home, we learn the scale of the spaces like the back of our hands. Color palettes are set and the rooms have a certain style established by their furniture, fabrics, and of course, the architecture. But there is nothing that can bring more beauty and visual excitement to a room more than a fabulous photograph.

Photography: The Art of Observation
If you want to know how much Barbara appreciates, no, loves, photography, just try and find a project of hers that does not include some. Can’t be done.
Inspired by
Elliott Erwitt, One of the Best
“A glimpse of something wonderful can change the whole complexion of things.” So said Elliott Erwitt, a photographer well-known for his compelling images of quiet beauty and levity. Rarely drawn to grand gestures, Erwitt instead captures those moments of daily life which convey humor, joy, and contentment, scenes whose effect he likens to a proverbial break in the clouds.
