Having Your Cake: Lori Larusso

You know one thing I miss about working in an office?  Cake days.  Birthdays, new babies, going aways, work anniversaries– any excuse to have an afternoon cake break in the lunch room.  I was always amazed by how having…

February Featured Artist: Jenny Brown

Love in the Details: Stephen Wright

Our memories of the people we love aren’t full scale photos, but more the recollections of the details that made them special to us– the softness of a grandmother’s hand, the freckles on a child’s face, the little particulars…
