Looking forward...

2011 started out a little rocky but now that a month has pasted I'm able to gain some perspective and direction. I need to start doing things that inspire and motivate me as an individual. I need to create, explore and bottom line just do things that make me happy.

Mark Twain once said,"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." I want to live by these words wholeheartedly.

Here are my top 5 things I have to look forward to within the next few months:

1) NYC Ballet Swan Lake, Feb 18th
2) Art House Coop Sketchbook Project Brooklyn, NY opening, Feb 19th
3) West Coast Adventure: Portland,OR & Los Angeles,CA, March 11-20th
4) City And Colour concert, March 31
5) European Tour/ Anthony & Raj's wedding in London: London, Barcelona & Paris, April 28- May 8th

Along with the top 5 I am also looking forward to getting my studio space up and running this weekend. I can't begin to explain how badly I've been wanting to paint. I want to get dirty and stay up late with The Beastie Boys while painting in my underwear just like I did when I was in undergrad. I'm also in the market for a new instant camera. I think I'm leaning towards the Instax mini 7 by Fuji.





I like that it's mini and how the model is contemporary all the while sustaining it's classical medium of instant photography. Or is it alternative? The digital world is growing too fast for me to keep up, but that's a whole other topic for discussion. It's been well over a year since I last shot my Polaroid camera. Needless to say it's been too long. My investment in a new instant camera is imperative in order for me to support my creative cravings.
