Happy September.

Do not feel forlorn, summer is still here. Somewhere.

What’s your entrance strategy for fall? I’ve been wrapping my head around a lot of unknowns, new prospects and possibilities. 

Time to step way back from the picture, maybe turn it upside down - maybe hang it in another room for an entirely fresh perspective.

Suppose I’m going on strike, or quitting myself - in a good way.

That said, I’ve really enjoyed collecting this bit of goodness for you. Hope you discover something inspiring or helpful. 

If anything strikes a chord for someone you know, forward this post to them.

That’s nice - xo, Darla

Experience

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?)

light and dark.


Hi simple.

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
