The Painter

I love this picture of this painter that I took in Florida. 

Each of the circles on the tree are part of his color palette. 

He is standing on a ladder leaning against the tree, and reaching for the red paint. 

It is so cool that the painter is part of the painting that he is making. 

The integration of the person with his creative work--he is one with it!

I can practically feel the love of this person for what they do.

And IMHO, they are very good at it. ;-)

Best High-Tech Looking Couch

Just want to nominate this couch for the best high-tech looking couch award of the year.

It's called the Retro-Alien Couch by 27 year old, artist Igor Chak.
The couch is made of leather and designed and manufactured in Los Angeles, CA.

"Buy now" cost is $5000.00 with free shipping to the first 10 customers from here.

The website says that you can customize it--and I'd like mine with first-person shooter lasers and remote control that electronically rise out of of the armrests. (Zoom, Zoom!)

This couch so reminds me of the video game, Space Invaders, which I played on Atari as a kid my friends in Riverdale, NY.

In terms of it's high-tech look and it's retro video game feel--this couch is completely awesome!

Another favorite Atari game was Missile Command, how about some coffee tables to match? ;-)

Keeping It All In Perspective

Here are some amazing photographs from Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

This is someone who can truly see the bigger picture and help us to see it as well.

If we can all see beyond the minutia every day, I think we could appreciate the opportunities and challenges before us so much more, and be able to address them more effectively--in perspective.

To me, this is the clarity of vision that I aspire to and I hope you do too.
