Celebrated Cuisine
I’m thankful for the opportunity to demonstrate the potential of Celebrated Living and so pleased with the results of my collaboration with Sr. Art Director Brian Smith and Editor in Chief Anna Fialho Byers.
Island Time
Daphne Vermeulen, Chicas Photo Productions and this year’s Road Warriors — Becca, David, Ashley, Malcolm and Tim — enthusiastically rose to the challenge of an ambitious photoshoot. It was a fantastic collaboration.

Fright Night
Three Halloween revelers come upon a scary Victorian mansion, cautiously approach the front door and find themselves in the midst of a fancy masquerade ball. Their horrifying predicament is ultimately mundane and relatable — they're underdressed at a chic party.
I defined the narrative and aviator character and asked Red Nose Studio to develop additional characters and bring it all to life. I’m thrilled with the results.
Simply Grand
Team Robert Dahey delivered a tour de force performance at this year’s Road Warrior photoshoot, and this year’s Road Warriors — Flory, Ruban, Gillian, Jerry and Nish — responded in kind. My “Warriors on the Move” concept was taken in stride by all.

Viva Thanksgiving
Team Randal Ford executed my “Thanksgiving in Vegas” concept with panache. The turkey is gorgeous. And that bird ain’t too shabby, either.
