re-imagining

absolutely has felt shot down and drowning.

absolutely has found new inspiration today.

and absolutely plans on changing tenses sporadically throughout this post. but it's my blog, and i can do that.

so how did i re-gain inspiration today?

began reading Peter Pan, and has thoroughly enjoyed escaping to that lovely world. i've been wanting to do this ever since i saw it performed as a dance recital this last winter, and i'm very happy i'm doing it before school starts.

and spent her late-night/early-morning hours gaping over Ben Chrisman's wedding photography. i now find myself re-inspired and passionate about my career choice, if only i can channel some of his inspiring techniques and his brilliant lighting. i decided if there's one person i could follow around for a month, it would be him.

to leave you with a quote:

"They [Peter and Wendy] were together in the armchair by this time, and Wendy plied him with more questions.

'If you don't live in Kensington Gardens now_____'

'Sometimes I do still.'

'But where do you live mostly now?'

'With the lost boys.'

'Who are they?'

'They are the children who fall our of their perambulators when the nurse is looking the other way. If they are not claimed in seven days they are sent far away to the Neverland to defray expenses. I'm captain.'

'What fun it must be!'

'Yes,' said cunning Peter, 'but we are rather lonely. You see we have no female companionship.'

'Are none of the others girls?'

'Oh no; girls, you know, are much too clever to fall our of their prams.'

This flattered Wendy immensely. 'I think,' she said, 'it is perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls....'"
