Chris Budny level-deluxe January 22, 2011

Terrific work, Patti...!
Anthropologie has a flagship store at Rockefeller Plaza, and when I worked upstairs from it, I was constantly stunned by their display windows... they went SO FAR beyond mannequins (I don't think I ever saw one mannequin!) it was always a treat to watch the next window display go up, every 2 months or so. #9184650

Thanks, Chris...you're right, they are a very talented group! #9184665

Its so cool to learn that your talent goes far beyond photography and that you have a creative nature in other fields. I love the look you have here, the black and white gets you some beautiful tones and I love the full page look. Gorgeous look. I think of BP as my development table. #9209785

Patti Coblentz February 03, 2011

Thanks, Frank! I look forward to the day that everything related to photog. only will be my development table, too :) #9211153

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 14, 2011

I love it when we show each other little windows into each others lives. :)

Fun to see some of the mags you are inspired by, Patti. I had to smile when you said you had many desks. I stopped and counted mine, too! :)

I like the way they are laid out here. We get a taste of them all!!!

Great Job!

Patti Coblentz February 15, 2011
