sunrise to sunset
julie delpy is such an inspiration to me. she is uniquely beautiful, charmingly intelligent and has so many talents. she is an amazing actress and such a talented writer and director. many of her movies i’ve seen cast her as a strong willed, liberated women with some tendancies in self destruction and breakdowns. i think i relate to these roles so much because it feels real. it feels non...

portraiture
the longer i do photography, the more i am drawn to artistic portraiture. but this is the thing i’ve done the least. why? fear. it’s scary to ask someone if you can photograph them. it seems very personal. and it is very personal. and then to try and get the right look, the right pose. to find the right moment where something real comes through. these days, everyone is so...
an education
I just discovered the photographer Nan Goldin while at the MOMA in NYC. When I first viewed her work on the museum’s website, i passed it off as something i didn’t find aesthetically pleasing. While viewing her work at the museum, it instantly struck me that i remembered every inch of each of her photographs I had seen before, and the subjects were far too familiar to me for just one...

this was my escape tonight. we used to stay up all night and pursue our creative endeavors and live in every moment. no thought about tomorrow. i’m glad i know life can be like that.
Where does your self worth come from? Does it come from what you do with your days? Does it come from your thoughts about the world, or your thoughts about yourself? Is it innate? Can a choice change who you are? Can we make ourselves happier than we are right now?
popeye and the point
“the point” by harry nilsson was one of my favorite records to listen to as a kid. at the time i didn’t know that it was a cartoon as well. I thought it was just a musical story on a record. i remember how much some of the songs made me feel as a child, and how much i loved those songs. i feel very lucky that i was exposed to such great music as a kid. my parents would play...
it's called acting
i first became aware of marion cotillard in “love me if you dare” a french film about two tragic childhoods and the love and dysfunction that followed. it’s a beautiful movie that’s crazy and romantic and wouldn’t be one without the other. I thought she was great in the movie and obviously beautiful and charismatic, but my admiration towards her became so much...
