I sat on "sex fabric" today...

Before leaving the site of my first interior architecture assignment, interior designer Rick Rozas asked that I sit on the living room lounge chairs he fitted with the fabric he calls "sex fabric." According to Rozas, this faux fur tends drives otherwise conservative clients to unsuspectingly drop their draws.

I left the Dallas high rise apartment without missing any articles of clothing, but with a new appreciation for luxurious textiles.

Portrait of a reverend

First assignment post-Super Bowl: I have to get reacclimated to a photojournalist's life after Super Bowl XLV. Feels so strange right now.

And in an attempt achieve balance, I am leaving tomorrow to spend a few days with friends in New York City and Wantagh.
