The calm before the storm. – Ethan Takeda Lane

The image captures the serene beauty of a kitchen poised on the brink of holiday magic. Everything is pristine—polished countertops gleaming under the soft glow of the sun with the view of the Eiffel Tower, as well as a tower of cream puffs resting beside an untouched bottle of wine, and neatly arranged utensils awaiting their moment. Stockings hang undisturbed on a nearby mantle, and a gentle snowfall is visible through the frosted windows. The air feels heavy with anticipation, as if the room itself is holding its breath before the whirlwind of laughter, chatter, and culinary chaos erupts. It’s the perfect depiction of the calm before the storm, a fleeting moment of peace in the heart of the Christmas season.

Ethan used items from stores such as: Merak, Spruce, Apple Fall and Kraftwork located at the events Equal10, and Anthology. For full details on the items used in the photo, please visit Ethans Flickr post here.
