Nice Still Life

I had a phase where I really got into still life paintings. This began when I realized that these mundane objects could have actual meaning attributed to them. I pieced together this paradigm shift from an article I read in Janson, and a plaque I read at a museum. Soon, it changed my whole outlook on art all together.

It took me back to the long walks with my mom through the halls of the De Young/legion of honor and transformed my memories into something more than they had been --something mysterious and scandalous. I don't know much about this still life, but looking at it caused me to remember all that I love about art, and surprise, and the creativity of the human mind.

Bling: In The Name of Love

So, my best friend just got engaged.

They like to have people around to share life with at all curves in the road, and this event was no different. A brilliant display of the groom-to-be's musical and performative talents culminated in
his nuptial proposal surrounded by friends from various seasons of their lives, and family from all branches. What a joyous celebration was had by all.

The couple plans to be wed in the summer of 2009.
