separated at birth.

i recently photographed this great little cacti garden that lives in the back of the general store, out in the sunset district of san francisco. it’s often quite damp with fog out there, so i was surprised how these cacti seem to thrive – hardly what you would call a desert environment where you might expect them to live. anyway, i loved the colors, and thought they’d make a nice match with some mid-century modern interiors. consider this a different sort of separated at birth.

an odd hobby of mine is finding unexpected photo pairings. somehow i find it soothing to hunt for the perfect match.

until next week!

i couldn’t help but notice how well some of this snappy home decor matched up with these equally fab fashion photos. i thought it might be fun to spy some pairs, possibly ‘separated at birth’. who really knows which comes first, and who may have inspired who…but i do think fashion influences furniture design, and very much the visa-versa.

Simon Filip.

today i spy pairs. numero dos. doubles. for some reason, ‘two’ popped into my head. good things often come in pairs — happy couples, pretty shoes, a twin reflex camera, a gorgeous pair of eyes — you get the idea. dynamic duos! so today i spy ‘two for the road‘!
