I really enjoy learning from Paul Jarvis .Super great to find “one of your people” in this realm. Check out his online classes for creatives, freelancers and online businesses - swell podcasts, too. Thanks Paul!

Just learned of Robert Montgomery’s work. This one feels right, right now.

I shot this at Tony Oursler's Imponderalbe at MOMA. His archive of ephemera relating to stage magic, spirit photography, pseudoscience, telekinesis, and other manifestations of the paranormal was truly fascinating. These are Houdini’s handcuffs. His wife would pass him the key with a kiss before he hit the water. (Kate Bush fans - can you hear that song?)

Best to be simple right now, on my end anyway. For the big picture, I default to Mr. Baldwin:
“For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.” - James Baldwin
