Inspiration draws from everywhere


A little bit of goodness from my day. Good read. Good music.

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work {and theft} will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to."  -Jim Jarmusch

Day Thirteen: Sign

A little humor for today. I hate using gas station bathrooms [who does?] They are creepy and nasty beyond all belief. However, I walked into this gas station bathroom and to my surprise the owner had decorated it pink with cute lotions and pictures of Marilyn Monroe on the wall. Then I saw this half picture frame sign... so good.

Tree Reading

One of Bryan's resolutions is to learn how to use my camera, so we practiced a bit this weekend.
There's this tree back home where Bryan and I both grew up. When we were dating [and even when we were "just friends"] we spent a lot of time reading in this tree. Bryan would sit on a limb and I would lay in the green grass as one of us would read to each other. Sometimes I would join Bryan in climbing, but I tend to be more of a ground squirrel who just dreams of being a tree squirrel.

Day Eleven: Someone You Talked To Today


I'm partially cheating on this one. I talked to a lot of people that day, but this guy trumps them all.
