light up the darkness.

I am just not sure how much longer I can wait.

How much longer I can hold on to this dream before it becomes a nightmare.

Lolla!

Chicago, home of Lollapalooza and the best skyline.

3 days of heat, sweat, music, dancing, free spirits, and best friends. Doesn't get much better than that. Thank you Lolla.

Artist Series - Ryan McGinley #7

Jonas (Waterfall), 2008 / 2009

I chose this image as the last one in my series for Ryan McGinley because it is my favorite. The lighting, the colors, and the precise detail make it all come together to evoke that feeling one should have when looking at a photograph. Feelings that can not be described in words, for they do not do it justice.

I am at peace when I am where I belong.

Artist Series - Ryan McGinley #3

Jonas & Marcel (Blue Altar), 2009

This picture reminds me of when my family and I would go on road trips to Cave City, Kentucky. Some of the best memories come from those trips. Oh how I wish I could go back there right this instant to crawl through caves and be within a few inches of little bats.

Artist Series - Ryan McGinley #2

(No title)

Artist Series - Ryan McGinley

Every once and a while, when the feeling strikes me, I will dedicate one week to an artist and their works. Each day I will post a piece of work that is visually striking, intriguing, or inspiring to me. This is the "Artist Series." First up is the talented photographer Ryan McGinley.

Titled "Coco (Moon River) 2008"

So peaceful. So pure. I long to escape into nature and submerge myself in its beauty.

Bonjour Salvador

During my trip to Paris I was able to visit the little museum, in the Montmartre, dedicated to the talented artist Salvador Dali. Though small in its size, the insight into Dali's work throughout the expose was inspiring, in a tremendous way.

"time and the indivisibility of space...it is a fluid."

Almost...

So much inspiration stems from this movie. The clothes, the music, love, the empowerment to believe, and the feeling of being free. Just want to soar free.

Batman. The Best Superhero.

Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na BATMAN!

Salvador Dali

Study for the Backdrop of "Mad Tristan" (Act II)

Untitled - the Seven Arts, 1944

Temptation of St. Anthony

Salvador Dali is one of my favorite artists and words can not express how excited I am to see a few pieces of his showing at the William Bennett Gallery in NY.

A Truck of Happiness

A truck that takes you back to the days of youth when your feet would hit the pavement with a hurriedness to the sound of its oncoming jingle. A truck where, for a few dollars, allows you to pick from flavors that will swell your taste buds and spoil your dinner. A truck of paradise for the young and young at heart. A truck of happiness. :)

Soon enough.

Look to the sky that encloses our sorrows, for it bears the key to a better tomorrow.

In a world stained by black and white, some attain its beauty through hues of grey.
