Inspiration

On the days when I'm at a loss for inspiration, I find it in the photographs of Jeanloup Sieff...

PS: There's one more over {here}. I couldn't resist!

Hope you're having a lovely Tuesday. I'm busy working on my column today. I've been closed up in my little office...

    I can see why you find these photos inspiring. They're all about that essential upward look. Unless you look up, you never have the perspective to see the things around you.

    Sometimes, when I become tongue tied, and not sure what to write or say what I really want to.( it's really not like me,) I re-read my favorite blogs, for inspiration. I always come out feeling so much better and focused....
    You, Ms English Muse, Ms. Tarnoff, Ms.Giulia, and several others always seem to put a fluff beneath my wings, and I carry on...Thank you!!!!
    That, to me is what it's all about. Inspiration... I xoxo it!

    They are wonderful, the first one especially. It somehow manages to pull you inside the photo. Feel the hot dry air? The second one, since I'm a bit afraid of heights, makes my knees wobble!

    Can't wait for your new column!

    xoxo

    Those photos are my kind of photos. We have all this fancy stuff now and we are blinded by color.

    Nothing like a good black and white photo with a "real" camera taken by a master.

    I am so happy that I get a double dose of the "Muse" now. I wonder if my Dad still has his Super 8 somewhere?

    These are so lovely. Try Sally Mann as a source of inspiration as well.
