Inspirations
This is a collage of photos and daily observations that have become little inspirational treasures to me. Through documenting life and sharing photos with others I have learned to look not only at design but life in a new awe-inspiringly beautiful light. I often think of a scene in American Beauty when one of the characters recognizes the simple undiscovered beauty of a plastic bag and a a leaf swirling in the wind. I once worked for a man who told me that I was “just a f@$%ing leaf blowing in the wind” and stupid in “trying do artsy BS.” The day he said this to me, amongst other things, I made one of the best spontaneous decisions of my life: I quit. I came to the realization that I love the “artsy BS.” I want it. I want to create it and I want to inspire others with it. And contrary to popular belief, “artsy BS” has a profound effect on others and how we make decisions from the simplest things such as whether we buy a particular product to how we choose to live our lives. Making the decision to be “a leaf” and enter into new worlds of design and inspiration is something that I will always smile about.
