Inspiration overload day. New ideas for all my vintage cameras, film, music...shoots, compositions...projects. I gotta slow this down!! Focus! So much excitement!  Sourced film for the baby brownie and ansco panda (the more I get into vintage photography...I'm on cloud 9). Learning much about the super 8....hoping the audio/visual thing may not be too far off! Dreams do begin to emerge with persistence. Today - leaves beneath my feet and fresh, crisp air in my lungs....nothing better then running outdoors in the fall...nothing I don't love about this season. I've been taken with the colors...the leaves and the way the sun seems to penetrate deep within them. I'm in heaven. And speaking (remotely) of running. Only a few weeks away from my final test!!! It's been a long haul, to say the least. Hours of burning midnight oil and weekends of books and videos....a summer in my favorite city, yet somehow brutal and intense at the same time (wink)....the trial and error of starting something new. But, I'm ready! And, with new experiences, there is always something fresh to create.

New for me:

I found: This simple, beautiful idea via this lovely lady via....thanks, Jen

I watched: The Brother's Bloome. Loved it.And, Scoop (EH...okay...but speaking of Hugh...he's live!)

I am craving: Burrata and a very particular red wine (nothing quite like Syrah Le Pousseur)

I read: something that always makes me cry

I listened to:  This today

I want: Book City Jackets

I discovered: (very beautiful) and revisited: one of my favorites

I *heart* all sorts of art: Loving this and A. Kawasaki's 'my dishonest heart' painting

I would LOVE to shop: Thank you, Anthropologie (speaking of, their new magazine is beyond breathtaking)

Lastly, the kids and I are gearing up for our yearly box packing event. I love to watch what they choose and see their little hand scrawled letters....and imagine a very tender, tiny impact made for a few little lives...for at least a few happy hours somewhere else in the world.

I will leave you with a favorite group....Ciao...Anna
