about

à la mode is the journal and creative outlet of Rick Poon, a Los Angeles photographer obsessed with food, travel, and design, though not necessarily in that order. Usually a man of few words, rick aspires to express himself through means other than pretty photos. Yes, that means writing!

If you would like someone to take pretty photos, Rick can be reached at rick_@_alamodejournals_com. To see more of Rick’s work, visit his flickr.
