I've been digging into the pile lately... the more recent addition to the pile on our shelves that is. Getting inspiration from here and there.. and just about inundating myself with cute illustrations and goofy comics to well written autobiographical books on owning a business... to other more photographic inspired places. Hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend!
The walk is an occasion of limited vulnerability. I offer myself to unpredictable occurences and impingements. The world flows past my body, which may block, pleasurably or uncomfortably, some sudden cometary intrusion and create a situation...Raising the stakes, the world on a walk engenders the mental polarity of critical thinking all the way to wonderment"

Looking forward to the 5th Annual Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago from September 15-16 on Division between Damen and Wood this weekend.
This is me, standing in the incredibly beautiful Cimetiére du Pére-Lachaise in Menilmontant, Paris. Just a few steps away from our flat off the gambetta stop. It was the perfect day to visit this moody cemetery with the present storm clouds and hints of rain, or more like a misty drizzle. I loved the light.
