Billy from Barney's

I met Billy downtown.

Not one to walk up to strangers on the street and start a conversation, but I did with Billy.

I have a thing for good leather and he was carrying.

Billy was gracious enough to show me the beautiful details of his camel leather Henry Cuir handbag. Well worth approaching a stranger.

It was a pleasure!

Recent photo shoot in San Francisco.

Lots of hard work with lots of great people.

My Favorite Man

It's funny, even as a little girl I can remember my grandfather coming into a room and people would notice and the ladies, they would smile at him.

He had it. Whatever it is, he had it. Still does.

He has this confident ease that he walks the world with while holding a shot of whiskey in his right hand. His eyes brighten when my grandmother walks into the room. Still wears his vintage levi's and snap button shirts. He told me once to be kind to men because broken hearts happen and why not be nice along the way.

And most impressive, out of all the stories he's told in his life, I have never heard him speak ill of anyone.

Do me a favor, next time you got a shot of whiskey in your hand, give a little toast to Kenneth Lee.

He's my favorite.

Thanks Banks

Talking to a friend this morning got me thinking.

When is it simply time to let go?

Let go of old ways of being and thinking that are no longer important.

Let go so you can be fearless.

And let in what is important.

Without a fuss.
