I had the exciting experience on Friday to be part of a new partnership between my good friend Ronda Carman of All the Best blog and New York Interior Designer Vicente Wolf. The “Big News” of the morning was the launch of Ronda’s online gallery where she will represent Vicente’s Photography.

The many in attendance at the breakfast had the pleasure of seeing the unveiling of Vicente’s most recent collection of work from a January 2009 trip to Namibia where he photographed the Sossusvlei Desert.  These photographs are some of the most incredible compositions I have ever seen, vividly capturing the unbelievable color of the desert landscapes.

The guest list consisted of many of the who’s who of the New York design scene including event designer Preston Bailey, James Andrew, Michael Devine, Amanda Nisbet, Christopher Spitzmiller, Frank Webb of White and Webb, and Thomas Paul to name a few.
