go west young man, go west.
many things to look at, listen to, salivate over- so much visual stimulation! during the last two weeks i met a really beautiful and inspiring artist, anjali lee, you can see her hand drawn type and illustrations at her portfolio site, the floating garden.
came across a lovely flickr, where found vintage photos are posted- i spent two hours looking through all the pages- so many good images! a few of my favorites, here, here, and here.
i was in bodega bay last weekend and saw the schoolhouse that was used in alfred hitchcock’s, the birds- so now i am again obsessed with that film and tippi hedren- in my image searches this week came across this poster design by corey holms and marian bantjes-
then along my searches, came across this designer and his poster work- the below being poignant in my life right now, “go west young man, go west.”
agent lover’s photos make me giggle- i want to hang out with her and the ladies! she seems just my type- look at that fashion sense and see how adorable she is!
if you are in the san francisco area, the red verse is having their listening party at blowfish sushi on tuesday, i am so proud of them and can’t wait to see the finished album!
my ears have been listening to my friend stephen, “bluegrass-inspired country rock musician” and his music project, hang jones, which is great for driving around california, which i did this last weekend!
just bought these not rated shoes, and am about to buy these gingham ones, kind of a gift to myself for starting new life chapters.
the weekend is here and i have been thinking a lot about where i want to go, planning new photo projects, working on freelance and putting my energy in the world towards finding a job i can go to where i am appreciated and happy- watching a few leaves flutter to the ground from the park across the street and drinking blue bottle out of a white ceramic mug, i am thinking and hoping that everyone is well in their lives and dreams.

Ohh I love that picture of agent lover (those are cute/amazing glasses). I’m also fond of the vintage photos. Thanks for the links.

Ha! I’ve been to the restaurant used in that movie… a short time after I saw the original b & w.
The Inn at the Tides or something (it’s on HWY 1 above SF, that’s all I know)… can’t remember exactly what it’s called; they have killer fried clams!
If you drive up the coast an hour or so to just below Jenner, there is a lovely beach (all the beaches in that area are lovely, but this one’s my favorite!)
