One night a friend of mine walked into my apartment. I hadn't been expecting to have anyone over, and it was a mess.

I started apologizing.

"People have lives,” he said simply. And walked right in.

People have lives.

Details is my attempt to capture the "details" of my life via my apartment but also the life of my life, rather than the staged ethos of most home design books.

Here, I looked for the beautiful in the mess, the intrigue in the happenstance. I didn’t stage anything and just clicked away.

This is my apartment.
