What I love about film is that even mishaps can turn out to be beautiful. Although I am a little sad that the top photo didn't turn out as that is my boyfriend's guitar case and it's a beautiful golden yellow.
When I was little, I read about the Bloomsbury Group and ever since then, I wanted something like that. A group of writers, painters, musicians, a group of creative people that would get together every now and then, hang out, talk, and discuss what was going on.
I think that is why I became so fascinated with The Factory as well even though I am not a fan of Andy Warhol.
Just a simple place where the group could go whenever they want, they could just talk and relax, they could play music, they could paint. They could just be themselves.
"If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence."

I wish I could have gotten a better picture as to the left, there was probably hundreds of propane tanks but with the fence having very tiny holes, I couldn't include the mass of tanks AND the no smoking sign.
The silhouette is my little brother, Tyler, who would accompany on my "photo shoots" and gladly be my model. I would tell him to climb a tree or go play on some tires and he would. He would sometimes bring his own camera and take photos alongside of me. I miss those days.
