slightly off topic but I'm always baffled by photo captions like the one in this article
"Hamish Robertson, an artist, with his wife, the writer Andi Teran, at their home in Los Feliz"
Why is Hamish just 'an artist' while the other person is 'the writer' Andi Teran? seems like some kind of bourgeois class system. Makes me suspect Andi is a well heeled trustafarian and other isn't ...but then I'm a terrible cynic

The thing I have observed about LA artists and "creatives" who are featured in the NYT is that they are well-connected, but not necessarily wealthy. There tend to be repeats; i.e. one person's art will be reviewed one month, and then five months later there will be a spread with their garden, or an opinion piece on work/life balance that quotes them. I assume it's just laziness, or (to be generous) keeping it simple by looking into a NYT pooled rolodex for [LA] [artist] while under deadline. Probably all it takes is a lucky encounter, or a well-timed press release, and you're "in the system". It seems like Teran has linked to a couple of articles about moving NYC->LA, and has a book coming out with Penguin in June, so there's your peg.
