on the sidewalk downtown

after leaving breakfast from the Arcade, just past American Apparel, there is a heart in the sidewalk.
very lovely indeed.

a poppy and this was apparently flower week

a poppy at the dixon

this was a far more striking photo than i thought it was going to be. wish it was in focus a bit more. it was however taken with my phone....

stop.

a rose at the dixon

Stop! lyrics by Against Me!

Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
You’ve got to make a serious decision.

It could be me up there in stage lights.
It could be me on the TV in you living room.
It could be me jet setting with my band all across the world.
Appearing live in concert one night only, tickets sold out.

Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
You’ve got to make a serious decision.

There I am giving candid disclosure to press in interview.
There I go on my way through the crowd up to the podium.
On behalf of our fans we’d like to accept this award.
Smile for the camera boys, gold record in hand.

Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
You’ve got to make a serious decision.

All of our lives in waiting.
All of our lives traded for their roses and applause.
All of our lives dedicated to shoving it right back in their fucking face.

Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
Stop! Take some time to think, figure out what’s important to you.
You’ve got to make a serious decision.
You’ve got to make a serious decision.

Stop! Take some time to think.

violas, and not the ones that make sound

at the dixon, again

ooo look at the pretty flower...

photos are definitely a craft. i know, because i can take some pretty bad ones :P

this was taken at the Dixon, i don't remember what kind it was.

making clay is totally a craft!

because it's hard, and you have to know what you are doing!
so i (with the help of a fellow sculptor) made some clay.
i have never made clay before, only seen it done.
can't be that hard right? ugh. it's not elastic enough. i don't know what to do...

here it is though:
