Friday Finds!

Today's feature is Chalk Chalk. He draws these wonderful 'human-powered' means of transportation on chalk boards (handcrafted chalkboards I might add!) and sells them as prints or you can also buy the original chalkboard! I can see these hung as multiples in a hip baby nursery, or a kitchen, or a work studio...endless possibilities! Check out his shop to learn more!

Dope, Soap, & Hope - Zack Arias

Zack Arias has inspired once again. You may recall "Transform", a video post he made about six months ago. This was my very first 'encounter' with Zack. Since then, I have been an avid follower of his, admiring not only his work, but more importantly, admiring his insight, his attitude, his work ethic...he really is an inspiration and someone that I look up to from afar. Today, he has done it again with a new video post called 'Dope, Soap, & Hope'. It all began with a blog comment he had received yesterday from a photographer standing on a dock, as Zack refers to it, wondering what is next for him. Zack spent all day posting comments from this blog post, and I must say, I was glued to it. He then received a visitor, a door-to-door salesman, peddling soap in the midst of all of this. Here is what came out of this salesman's pitch...



This has come at a perfect time for me as I, like so many of the authors of those comments, find myself on a dock wondering what's next for me. Should I stay on the dock? If I do, would that keep me happy and for how long? Should I set sail on a boat? Should it be my own boat? What will happen on this boat? Will I get seasick? Am I even on the correct body of water??? A lot to think about, and hearing from Zack's readers makes things a little less scary, a little more exciting.

View, enjoy, and if it's your time, sail.

Saturday Morning Treasuries!

Two of my photos, 'Brilliant Light' and 'Daydreams' were featured in treasuries this morning. The first treasury, 'Spritely' was put together by milemarker in honor of the summer-like weather that is finally on its way. I love the green and yellow combination of this one!


The second treasury, 'dreaming of dandelions' was put together by primsbyandrea. She put together this collection to feature affordable, original art. I think she did a great job with her choices!
