andy warhol

Recently I watched a documentary on Andy Warhol.  

Good stuff.

These inspire me.

"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ''work,'' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep. "

"I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning. "

"I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own." 
Andy Warhol 

Artist that kicks ass.

I attended a show last night and viewed some really fantastic artwork!  One artists that I really dug; 

Ryan Cronin.

  

Described in his words, "When people look at my work I want them to feel an immediate impact, even if they're not sure what hit them. The raw, almost childlike appearance of my work belies my reflective underlying vision. I delight in unexpected or enigmatic juxtapositions in terms of both theme and placement, and often bring a sense of humor to bear on troubling contemporary issues. This sensibility, combined with quick, instinctive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette, result in striking images that can simultaneously disturb and entertain."

Project Blow Out

So I have begun a new project thats intention is to re-create vintage images of the early 20th century through digital means.  Result, contemporary style, vintage feel. I hope you enjoy.

Classic.  I am going to be this great of a dancer one day.  Bollywood rocks!

Manifest.

Readily seen, perceived, or understood.

       I am manifesting in my life what I want.  Knowing what I wanted though was the first challenge.  A bit more difficult than simply declaring that "today I will wake at 7 am", I am learning that refining my wants, clarifying is both daunting at first then a really fun ride.  

As an Artist, manifesting is inherent in what I do and how I relate to my reality.  

Right now I am a traveling photographer.  I am successful. I am passionate about my work.  I am an Artist.  Before I might say, " I want to be a traveling photographer that is successful, passionate and artistic." 

As I changed my belief that who I am or what I want is not impossible I found my relationship to what I experienced changed. 

Now I remember, gratefully, that the world does not say NO, only YES, it was my ignorance that had forgotten this.  Perhaps you have discovered this as well. I want to hear your stories if your willing to share.   

Thank you for your time!

Cheers.

Heaven is a honeybell

Stuart, Florida, Indian River Inlet...

Vacation.

Shoes off, sandles on.

Sandy toes, sunburnt nose.

Stack of books I have been waiting to read...seems they'll wait.

Seashell hunting, skinny dipping, too much ice cream.

Late night Jenga, LAUGHING. LAUGHING. LAUGHING.

Click. Snap. Next Moment.

This one is grand, that one great.

Children laughing, late night boat rides.

 

Wind pours through the windows, rain hits my face.

STRONG COFFEE. HoneyBell Oranges.

Vacation....
