Minute Project::See my eyes
I want to be friends with complete strangers.
I want to be friends with complete strangers. Sometimes it’s disturbing how much I notice about them, and sometimes it’s disturbing how much they affect me without them ever knowing it. Rarely do I ever become friends with them. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Today is for K.P. I don’t know you. I’m sure you will never know that [...]

Traumatick Dreams
I dreamt I was in a church basement at a play/function/ceremony with a previous boyfriend. He was acting aloof and was being hit on by a girl with the same haircut he had. The basement room had some sunken seating areas with plants and the room was packed. Feeling ignored I left to go to [...]
Most cannot be explained.
Last night I dreamt I was at a summer party at my first boyfriend’s lake house. It was a beautiful old victorian (now torn down) with three floors and twisting stairs. I was there I believe alone, but there were many people there. It was night but the yard outside was lit with small lanterns [...]

Anouk.
A few months ago I had listed some items as unofficial homework for myself. These tasks were meant to get me motivated in a small way. I do not normally get motivated like this. Primarily, I believe most of my ideas are larger than life or not well thought out for the situation be it [...]

Truth and Frustration
Tuesday 15 September 2009 The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
Tyranny of Choice
Note to self: Abundant choices often make for misery. 9/15/09: 1. Coffee 2. Reading 3. Terrible news headlines (yeah, it’s backward) 4. intriguing dreams5. some motivation to create. Last dream: Lived in a four story house. First floor was a cafe/coffee shop type place, very run down, ochre walls. Second floor was where [...]

G-Jon: THE man
Through another ‘down-time’ search in the LIFE archives I found more Gjon Mili photographs that hit close to my creative core. Must attempt to do more with camera. (keyword search: sleep) I have so many drawings similar to the last few sleep photographs circa 2007.
Note to self:
“Love your other how they need to be loved, not how you need to be.”
More awkwardness and strange body contortions.
Google LIFE archives (again)
U.S.S. Kraken
More LIFE photography by Gjon Mili (via LIFE Google archives)
Cybele’s Menagerie
LIFE photographer Gjon Mili =wow. Why haven’t I heard of him before? This would have been motivating and wonderful had I seen it perhaps three years ago, not to say that it isn’t motivating now. Breathes new life into old projects that needed to be awakened, new life into a week of frustrations. Now to [...]
