Just think for a moment to a time greater than our own. When you are old and gray and your children's children's children want to know about you when you were young. What will you want to show them? What will have lasted the ages for you to be able to show them? It won't be flowers. It likely won't be clothes. Even family heirlooms might be lost or broken or breaking.
I find it interesting how people don't understand their importance. In History, photographs oftentimes tell far more than documents. They make a people, a place, a time come more alive. Sometimes they can be really telling, other times they can be quite deceptive. Either way, they tell a story.
These days everyone is a photographer. Pick up a pricey camera and snap! you can get paid for it. But there are few who take great care into utilizing depth, texture, color, framing, etc. They are suffering artists.
History doesn't remember art that was cheap and mediocre. It sometimes doesn't remember art simply because it was expensive. It does, however, remember the art that was then unappreciated but was always simply wonderful.
I don't think she really knows, but I think she is the coolest cat around. I love it when she is in a silly mood and says funny things and doesn't mind when I tease her. She's much more creative than myself. More creative than most and she doesn't even realize it.
Take a look. I think you'll be impressed. And not because she's the priciest. Or because her name is the most well-known. But because she has something a bit unique. Quite a bit lovely. And definitely memorable.
Sometimes I get new music and don't get around to listening to it for awhile. I usually forget I even have it. This came out in 2008 and I'm just getting around to giving it a good listen. It is brilliant. Mates of State at their finest, in my opinion. Except for Nature and the Wreck and some others.
