My introduction to paintings

For whatever reason after studying about the life of Caravaggio I began to stare at this, my first and his last painting. 

Bill Cunningham

A man who has taken pictures of beautiful women for 60 years. A recent documentary portrays his dedication to his work. 

Nancy Kwan



Vidal Sassoon invented many haircuts in the 60's. One evening he cut Nancy Kwan's hair, resulting in this picture by Terence Donovan.

I am not pretentious enough to state my reasons for being completely besotted with this picture, but I am.

Enough of that emotional stuff

Some of you know that I am a huge basketball fan. Others know that I love KU. Others that I love bad sports films, especially those with Al Pacino. This video combines all of the above. Rock chalk JAY HAWK!

Projections


You allow me to forget my lonesome despair
In you I find my daily repair
To be apart is unfathomable
You are perfect for me, infallible 

But we only just met, just last week
Am I so lucky, to have found what I seek
Or was I already in love before we met
Are you a comfortable image onto which I project

Will I discover you over time, and you me
Quantifying the missed-match between projections and reality
Let us avoid this ordeal outlined above 
Where it is an image and not reality that we love
