The Self Realization Fellowship is a retreat center located in Encinitas, California, near

by the Monks that live on the land.

This beautiful garden sits on top of a large peninsula overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The size of the garden is enough that you could spend a whole week roaming around
and still not see everything available. It was a pleasure to be able to photograph
this wonderful part of nature.

Piranesi Antiques, New Orleans

Classicism is timeless; the antithesis of “fad.” Classically proportioned,
designed and ornamented pieces will always contribute a timeless elegance to any room.

A newly made piece in an earlier stylesay that of Louis-Philippe
a style which itself drew upon earlier classical motifs,
can be as important to a successful room arrangement as any period antique piece.
It’s all in the proportion, the line and that unmistakable detail.

Piranesi’s inventory reflects this mixing of the period piece
and the classically designed contemporary piece.
