whirl winds
Posted in the blog on October 7th, 2009
We were at a flea market in Brooklyn and I saw this little dragonfly chillin’ on some vintage dresses. I got my polaroid out to take it…of course the wind blew at the exact second my finger took the shot and the only thing that was blurry was the dragonfly! Luckily, Matt took this one! Although, the back popped open and the picture caught some light. (notice the white line) This dragonfly didn’t want us to steal his soul, I guess!
New York was so much fun. From the minute I stepped off the subway and onto the streets I felt so at home. It was so weird. I use to think New York was too busy for me, but I absolutely love it. So we’ll see. Grad school is the next big step…maybe in NY, maybe not. Whichever school will pay for my tuition is the main agenda.
It was really nice not needing a car at all. Walking and using the subway was so easy! I know if I moved away from Portland I would miss the proximity to the mountains and ocean though.
Fall,fall,fall…why do you mess with me so much. This time of year always feels like more of a transition than any other time. My sleep cycles gets all screwed up and I feel the need to find things that are familiar and carry them around in a sack. Maybe we should tie handkerchiefs to sticks, packed with a lunch and lay down in a park. If only the trees were like the ones in Nightmare Before Christmas. Except instead of secret passage ways to different holidays they would be passages for friends to come and meet up. We’d swap grub for stories and hang snapshots off the branches.
Ok, so I been a bit scared to go downstairs and get back into my paintings since I’ve been back. But yesterday and today the ideas have been slipping down my shoulders and hanging from my eyelashes.
Gotta get caught up. So many shows in the not so far future! I just got another one today that will be in February at Seven Virtues Coffeeshop! Such a cute space!
I’ll post my polaroids soon from NY.
BYE!
