"Todd does it with a smile and a warm hug"

"We look in the windows of other people's apartments.  We don't do it in a creepy, stalker way.  It's nothing like that at all.  We do it in a curious, maybe even competitive way, although it's not to say it's in a negative way either.....Of course, someone's apartment is always better than our own."

Todd Selby is a portrait and fashion photographer and is apparently six degrees from cool every which way he turns.  He has snooped inside some cool apartments, homes and studios and allows us to peek behind the doors too.  Chock full of beautiful photographs and watercolor drawings of the people involved (including a table of contents using that theme), Selby makes sure not to ask the usual hum drum questions.  Everyone involved filled out questionnaires ( anyone remember my birthday questionnaire i made you fill out and return about six years ago?- same. thing.  just pointing it o u t ) that's just as tantalizing as the pics.  Did I mention the book starts with stickers?!!!! C'mon, man!
     Ok, if you don't buy the book, then take a look at his regularly updated website.  It's just as fun.
