online, pre-fab inspiration boards
July 30, 2008 12:01 pm

Photographer Todd Selby has shot everyone from Dolly Parton to sunbathers in Central Park. Now he’s documenting New York City personalities in their domestic glory—everyone from writer Tom Wolfe and his quilt of hats to artist Meryl Smith and her bear outfits—and offering them up on his new Web site, www.theselby.com. The effect is a series of home decor inspiration boards. “A person’s home can tell you much more about their overall aesthetic than what you see when they’re outside of their element, walking down the street,” Selby says. He finishes each profile with a handwritten questionnaire that includes everything from the subject’s favorite fruit to a Sharpie-drawn portrait of the shutterbug himself.
