Well, I have a fun surprise to share with you. It certainly was one for me! My friend Anthony hinted a while back that he had something up his sleeve, so imagine my delight when he sent me a gorgeous magazine with an article about the new company that he is forming inside, only for me to discover that the photo used to illustrate it…was mine!
Now, those of you who have been reading here for a while know that I am not exactly a portraitist…to be more precise, I never take photos of people – ever – as I am far too shy. But there we were together, talking, at the end of a glorious afternoon where I had been photographing his amazing new renovation project and the light was streaming across his face so perfectly that I dared just a few. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when your subject matter is not only a dear friend but an occasional model as well…
Anthony especially appreciated one of the photos in particular and I sent it to him to use as he wished. As he is truly a good egg, he just so happened to get me my first photo credit and in a very cool publication to boot.
I Heart magazine comes out once every three months. Their objective is to take you to the center of a specific city as described by locals and established expats so that you too can be “in the loop” enough to push beyond the clichés and postcard platitudes to hit the pulse of the current scene. When I am fortunate enough to travel, this is the kind of “on the ground” fieldview that I aspire to, so it is right up my alley and I still haven’t finished pouring over its thick, matte pages.
The Spring 2016 issue is all about Tokyo…
…and I love all of the surprising ways that this mythic metropolis is portrayed through art about artists but also foodies, fashionistas, pop and street lore.
Because who doesn’t love to love? Or to discover a destination with a fresh perspective?
I Heart will take you there. 😉
“But isn’t Anthony…French?” you might be asking. Yes, and so is the magazine! Eh oui, c’est en français mes amis. And there are tons of tidbits spread throughout its pages about places and events of interest all over the world, not only on the featured city.

It is for sale not only in France but also in Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK.
I could have never imagined being published for my photography instead of as a writer! This is a serious thrill for me.
Thank you again, Anthony, for this wonderful surprise and for being such a supportive friend…
Congratulations!!!!! Your photos are always beautiful, and your writing is wonderful. Brava.
So happy for you, Heather. You are a seasoned photographer and this recognition is well deserved! The photo of Anthony is very handsome, the lighting was done so well. It is always a joy to read about and view the photos of his house, and now we have a portrait of the owner!
Very nice indeed!! I so enjoyed your article about Anthony's house and am looking forward to more, especially that amazing floor reno.
So exciting!
Well it's a beautifully done portrait. Maybe you should consider it a new direction with your photography. xx Tabby
You are deserving .. Congratulations, enjoy the moment !
Congrats Heather – that's wonderful (and that is a great shot!)
