Camera Ready

This magically
enchanting garden
offers hospitalized
children a place where
they can do what kids
play.
do best

Esteemed fashion photographer Arthur Elgort, who has helped make the careers of
countless models, designers and ballerinas, has another muse: children. Particularly
his own. In his book Camera Ready: How to Shoot Your
Children, his prevailing motto is this: "Don't be afraid to get
close."
In this issue of Platinum, we get close, with photographs
and words. Beginning with "Morse's Code" (page 18), writer
Khristi Zimmeth tells about how Bloomfield Village designer
Janice Morse took in her niece and nephew when heartbreak-
ing circumstances left them homeless — and how she ended
up with a serendipitously expanded family as well as the
gorgeous home she created to house them all. In "The Secret
Garden" (page 23), photographer Jerry Zolynsky captured our diminutive models
exploring the Debra Saber-Salisbury Memorial Garden, a magical glass-vaulted gar-
den atrium in Beaumont Hospital's Royal Oak pediatric wing. The garden provides
hospitalized children and their families a respite where kids can do what they do best
— play. It also serves to shed daylight into patient rooms in the hospital's interior
— and we found it to be an enchanting and inspirational place for our own children
to play while showing off the season's sweetest styles for kids.
Appropriately, we end by getting to know a new mother, Sharon Stulberg, a
former Detroiter who now is the assistant vice president of marketing for Sesame
Workshop in New York. Get to know her in "Four Questions" (page 34) — and
enjoy the issue!

Photographer Angie Baan brought her 2-
year-old daughter, Leila, along to sample
the specialties at Grilled Cheese & Tomato
Soup in Farmington Hills. See if our reviewer
enjoyed her visit as much as Leila in "All's
Fare" on page 10.
