I have hardly listened to music since I landed in Vancouver in June last year. Before this you wouldn't catch me going 12 hours without some kind of music.

I don't really think it's that odd to not find inspiration in the work of fellow artists. after all, it's about your personal vision, the ways you see and how that it informs your thought, the ways you frame the world. the fact that you don't feel influenced by other's work probably just makes yours stronger.

I wish I wasn't buried so deeply in my racing thoughts right now; there's so much I'd like to say to you after reading all that. I'll try to get back to you about them later.

cherry, those are beautiful thought provoking images, i know exactly what you mean about them starting as photographs and ending up as stories. i love viewing your work, its astounding, dont ever doubt it. x x
I wish you would hang out in my neighborhood and take tons of photos. I think you would get a kick out of it. There are so many moods to explore. Sounds like you're doing great! I love the first photo.

I just baked muffins. Espresso and cinnamon oatmeal muffins to be precise. Dairy free too. They are delicious. I really enjoy baking. I mean, it is one of my favourite things to do. It cheers me right up and helps me feel like I actually did something. I suppose it's the almost instant feeling of accomplishment as the fruit of the labour is ready so... Read More
I suppose I update a lot when it feels like I want to be reaching out to the world.
I finished reading The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling yesterday. It's a masterpiece and I'm not exaggerating. The whole essence of that alternate history captured my very being. And to think of all the research involved and the ingenuity of using real historic... Read More
