GOAL

While learning to fold and manipulate pages like such would be awesome. My goal is actually just to read more. This image by Isaac Salazar felt right for expressing that! :)

CARVE AWAY

Sorry for the amount of scrolling on this post... I promise it will be worth it!

These are BLOWING MY MIND! Carved Book Landscapes by the very well rounded Guy Laramee.

GLASSWORK

I have seen these photos floating around and finally decided to post them. Extremely impressive stuff! Each piece takes nearly a month to create, thankfully Shayna Leib has the patience and the creative mind to get it done.
Leib says, “I use glass, not for its mimetic quality to capture the look of stone or plastic, but for its most unique properties; the inclination to flow, the capacity to freeze a moment in time, and its ability to manipulate optics.”

I think I may have to purchase this. Great t-shirt design idea!

PARIS, JE T'AIME

 

I have always enjoyed photos of the Eiffel Tower but for some reason I am really digging this one. Maybe it is just it's ghostly reflection. Maybe because I feel like I myself am enjoying that beautiful sun shinny day in Paris. Then again maybe it is because I have Paris on the mind due to Erin taking a trip there this week. Whatever the case may be, good photo!

Side note: If you're in the mood for an "un-traditional" film check out PARIS, JE T'AIME. It is one I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Just don't watch it if your currently missing someone because it is a collaboration of love stories and it probably wont help.

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO

My interest was first triggered onto (title) by the 2002 movie version. I then got the prior book version written by Alexandre Dumas which I very much enjoyed. If you need a good read I would say pick it up. Maybe if you prefer a movie and you have yet to see this one then do it! I feel confident in saying you wont be disappointed!
