Ann, many, many thanks! So encouraging, these comments. I just made some 'amuse bouche' for a dinner party this evening: little rye toasts: bottom slice spread with duck paté and top slice (center cut out with an autumn leaf mini cookie cutter) placed on top the paté slice and the leaf shape opening filled with a little spoonful of courgette confit...served with champagne, of course....mmmmmm. And of course, we're heading into foie gras season, big time! (By the way, recipe for the little paté toasts from a cooking class I took in a big Provençale farmhouse a couple of weeks ago...too fun!
“Leslie landed in the lavender and olives of Provence in 2004...fork in hand...” so began La Fourchette in 2006. Fast-forward to this moment...with survival issues managed (every ex-pat knows what I'm talking about!), I return to the original passion that brought me to France: photography.
A quote from Wynn Bullock (20th century photographer) comes to mind as I define myself as a photographer:
"At 42, I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn't rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted."
Shortly after I began following my passion and traveling to France to shoot photographs, Façonnable picked them up for their US market. A card line was featured at Nordstrom and small French-themed boutiques throughout the US.
Now, in the golden wash of light that is the south of France, I continue my psychotherapy practice and passion for photography.
