Drums, here it comes...

Wow. An AMAZINGLY incredible COLDPLAY concert.

I won't ever be able to verbalize what a great show that was! Especially when I share my seating story..
The show was at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA. Great venue, fits thousands of people, and the artists play rain or shine. We had purchased general admission seating, meaning we would have to cram together with thousands of people way up on the grassy hill. But, while we were scouting for a spot to claim as ours, we were approached by a sneakily quiet man, who complimented our t-shirts that I had made. Long story short- he works with the band and, gave us front row seats. Simply because I made a few Coldplay inspired shirts to wear to the concert. I gave him my business card, too. ;)

My brothers shirt- inspired by Coldplay jackets:

My Mom's shirt- inspired by album art for Viva La Vida:



My shirt- inspired by the song Lover's in Japan/Reign of Love:

All photos taken at the concert. Yeah, we were that close.
Be creative; what have you got to lose?

Thank YOU, Vanessa Jackman.

Gentlemen, take note-

All photo credit to Vanessa Jackman.

The first photo has become a recent favorite to me. Effortlessly fantastic.

The weather today has made me think of these photos- when the sun is hiding behind clouds that make you think 'perhaps it will rain', and the breeze in the shade is just enough to give you goose bumps, so you put on a little more clothing than required in the summer months.
But not too much, no. You choose light fabrics, easily layered, nothing bulky or anything you wear to keep from getting a red nose in autumn.

These fellas did just that, in perfect ways. No more, no less, and not a thing out of place.

Enjoy the weather, whatever it may be.
Toodles,

When it's rainin' on Sunday..

Loved today. Morning, noon, and night.
I have quite a few somethings going on.. I'll just say, today was a great little break. Getting wet with rain was perfect.

I'm off to bed early. Quite a record in the books at this hour.
But before I do, I'll cuddle up with my cocoa and watch Aladdin with my cats. ..don't judge me.

Back to the regularly scheduled program soon..

Bonne nuit,

Moonlight and love songs never go out of date.

Rediscovered these photos, shot by Richard Avedon. Love them. There's something about a black & white photo, a feeling, an emotion, that I can't get from color.

Bob Dylan. New York. 1965.




Paris. 1957.
