Queen Pirouette’s apartments in the palace were her refuge, and the bedroom was her wonderland. The bed was so expansive that it could accommodate ten Pirouettes quite comfortably. It’s canopy was made of red velvet with a braided gold trim. The duvet was made of a hundred pink and white squares that she, her mother and sister had embroidered when she was a child. It was her favorite possession. The pillow cases were made of silk with lace trim. It was indeed a bed fit for a queen.

I was born at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. I find inspiration in the lives of so many people from Joan of Arc to Oscar Wilde. While my primary avocation is photography, I also enjoy philosophy, theology and most of all, history. My beloved wife, Robin Anne Smith, who passed away in 2013 is an inspiration to me. My beloved partner, Dana is also a great support and inspiration to me. I'd be remiss if I did not mention my cats: Maxwell, Nigel, Pirouette and GarGar.
