we should seek to age with grace,

and our vices firmly intact.

DU JOUR : a daily dose of beauty and inspiration

-
sometimes,
a concept car
is more than a concept.
-
sometimes it sets the mind racing along the lines of:
what would the sight through green glass be like?
how would the car sound?
how would this FEEL under my touch?

subversion :
sometimes we need to see the familiar
through a different lens
to fully appreciate it's power.
and it's potential.

new postings starting today.
i will be adding one piece of personal (recent) inspiration here for you to learn from.
i may tell you why,
i may not, 
but each image moves me and leads to some form of insight into what men should/could/would 
need to live a fuller life.

glassware from stefano tonchi's apartment in new york.

for years before we owned our first place,
tim and i would collect handblown glasses.
we built a beautiful collection that we never drank from,
in all colors and sizes.

when we finally moved into our first home,
they began being used,
and we moved from "college apartment" living
to "young adult" life.

objects can provide marking points in life.

beauty can be the landmark.

the eye needs to be pleased.  the eye needs to be challenged.
